Just my 0.02: - Mitel have talked about updating or changing their current system.
- The Devinfo comminty who have done quite a lot of work would like some thing done either away from Mitel or with Mitel. - The current list (in my opinion) is out dated. - Stuff is spread all over the place but people will still look at the e-smith.org site first. I'm all for updating the system and would like to make a few suggestions. 1. A team is formed that has at least one person from the Mitel staff on it that would act as moderators. 2. How about the main 'contrib site' being run on a server such as Jeff's with Mitel mirroring that site at e-smith.org. That way there would be a central place to look at, people would still find it by looking at e-smith.org and it would take a lot of the pressure off Mitel having to run the main site. I also belive that Gordon's last e-mail should be looked (or at least the points) and some thought about the points raised. A bit more than 0.02, hope you will forgive me.
