This whole thing reminds me of something I've had rattling around in my head for a while, and maybe now's the time to bring it to the group. In addition to the language of blog posts, I've often had a hard time tracking down information from past conversations that have happened in the community.
There's an aggregator, IRC log, various mailing list archives, wiki articles, ticket comments, localized community sites, the list goes on and on. In the spirit of community-oriented sites (like djangosites, djangosnippets, etc), I'd like to propose djangochatter, a site dedicated to aggregated, managing and distributing communication taking place in the Django community. Essentially, it could pull together information from *all* those various sources, index it for searching, provide feeds for various tags and keywords (users would have to tag entries manually). In light of this discussion, I expect it could also reasonably auto-detect the text's language, so users could sign up for a feed for whatever language(s) they can understand. Ideally it would also have a complete (or as near as possible) archive of *past* chatter as well. Pull together all the existing feed history, mailing list discussions, IRC logs, wiki history, existing ticket comments, and make them all available in a single place all at once. Basically, while I feel the existing aggregator is quite useful, and has served the community well, I think there's more that can be done, and there's no need to require the "official" site to handle it. In fact, I would think that once djangochatter.(com|net|org) is up and running, the existing aggregator could just redirect over to the appropriate page and feed URLs and be done with it. I don't have time to head this up, but I think it would be extremely useful for everybody. I know I've spoken with a few people about this in the past, but is anybody interested in heading this up? I'd love to see it happen, and I'm more than willing to take part in discussions, but I just can't dedicate myself too much to it at the moment. -Gul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
