Lucas Rocha asked me what the gnome.org redesign status is, so here goes:
0. A large part of the "website update" has already been done: We now have library.gnome.org (with links to live.gnome.org), and developer.gnome.org is dead. It's just the user-oriented stuff that's still to do. 1. There are still people working on a Plone site, though there hasn't been much activity recently. I don't believe they will succeed, because this has failed so often, but nobody should stop them from trying as long as we don't have something else. If they do manage to get a working test site up then that wouldn't still be a very initial stage and would still need a phase of public feedback and reworking. 2. Around the time that Plone was chosen, Quim''s team of people spent a lot of time deciding on the new structure and content, in several iterations. That's a valuable result that should not be wasted. We should use this with the existing gnomeweb-wml in the meantime without waiting for Plone or some other technical solution. When a technical solution arrives then we can use the same structure. Changing structure and implementation at the same time is unnecessary. That structure and content is detailed here: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/NewWgoStructure However, as mentioned in December, we are blocking on a way to easily have 2 levels of menus with gnomeweb-wml: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-web-list/2008-December/msg00000.html I could use the old developer.gnome.org main.in/tree.in/sed system but I hesitate to do that because it's so hacky. I don't personally want to commit to a whole CMS's way of life just for this simple feature, and I don't want this structure to block on agreeing-on/implementing a particular CMS. -- [email protected] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ gnome-web-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-web-list
