Just as peter how I wrote to him when I joined the project. Let me come with some ideas, that would really help the project. - Fill the content (text / drawings) of the pages we have. You have a fluent pen, a lot better than mine. svn commit that changes so we have a proposal we all can discuss. If you need some special things in the text talk with dorte. - Start the discussion on which Wiki we should have (I really have no idea). (in case of mediawiki, follow it up with a discussion on AOO dev@, if we can borrow a corner of their VM, I vouch for the technical setup) - Help think / discuss what do we need to attract more people I see peter also came up with suggestions. > > I have no way to read either Peter or Jan's minds and what they may think > is obvious and critical is beyond my ken.

I saw another thread where peter and andrea expressed +1 with dorte taking care of the web, but this should not be a reason for you to stop, I am sure there are enough work for all us. rgds jan i > > - Dennis > > PS: Please note that you folks are in completely different time zones from > me and it is now just 08:30 for me. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrea Pescetti [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 7, 2015 05:14 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: svn commit: r1649986 - /incubator/corinthia/www/index.html > > Peter Kelly wrote: > > This is simply bikeshedding > > Well, this is still quite a technical issue, we are not discussing about > the shade of blue to use. > > > My vote is to to have Dorte take responsibility of the design aspects > > I can concur this area is not crucial to the project at this stage (but > when you start advertising Corinthia at a later stage you WILL want a > nice-looking site and sometimes this will require some discussion, even > if you can't see its importance now). > > +1 from me to give Dorte all responsibility for website design at this > stage, and for requesting that others focus on the content only. > > Regards, > Andrea. > >
