Let's agree on the permission levels we want and how to get them. On 5/4/07, Murray Cumming <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > People will hate not being able to improve stuff once this goes online > officially.)
Well, yes and no. If people think this is like a wiki they will expect to get editing permissions just like that, if people think this is like a corporate website they wil understand that they can touch pages just like that. As a reference, currently to edit wgo pages you need either svn access to the GNOME servers or the skills to provide a patch (and get it submitted. Proposal: - In the common footer for all pages there is a link "Improve this website". - This page explain you can...... improve this website. :) Direct links to bugzilla, mailing list, irc, translation teams and so on. Plus some suggestions to perform actions that actually require to login at wgo. Registration link is provided and you get a plain account without needing human approval. - The basic permissions of this account are: -- You can create success stories that will go through revision before being published. -- You can create GNOME products to go through revision as well. -- You can create translations to go through revision. -- Ideally you can edit pages to go through revision. - And you keep working in this mode unless an admin grants you permissions to publish stuff yourself. If Murray is the user he will get instant grants. If the user is R2D2 he will need to show the admin that he is good editor to be trusted. I don't know whether this is possible with Plone, nor I know the level of permissions we can grant i.e. "now you can publish success stories directly but for the rest you still go through revision" or "ok, now you can translate pages directly (in language X only) but you can publish changes in the English versions". If this is difficult to implement I guess we can go for the traditional method, where people request and admins provide. We can do it in a more simple way than until now, that Ramon has to do many things manually. -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org _______________________________________________ gnome-web-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-web-list
