had a look at CVSTrac, yet? could/should be fancied up a little, but
should be able to cope with DirectFB ..

phpBB is fine with me.

I checked with DoK, project management, and systems administration at
convergence, and we've got the thumbs up for any changes we'd like to
make. I'd be great if you could come up with a prototype/preview :)

thought so. the server currently has mysql installed, but it's not
running. postgresql would be an option, too .. btw: please take care the
pages can be cached/don't expire to soon! .. we've been slashdotted
before, and the squid in front of the webserver wouldn't be able to take
away the load if the pages couldn't be cached ...

agreed!

*grin* .. DoK and I agree in giving you totally free hand in design and
layout of the site, altough we'd be happy if we/the list were closely
included in your thoughts and discussions about the various (sure a
lot!) aspects of DirectFB and their reflection on the website ..

.. as said, project management gave their okay, systems administrations
says it would like to insist on being able to administer/update/extend
the website themselves, in case you go missing or something ;) .. but I
recon any website with decent (code) design should be able to fulfill
this. Being allowed to recycle code/design for linuxtv.org would be
terrific, but DirectFBi.org is more important (at least to DoK and me ;))

Anxious to get started,

   Count
