Hi all -

Thanks for all the discussion last month regarding the wgo revamp, we got
quite the thread going.

After all is said and done, if I read the thread correctly, I believe it's
best to continue our work on Plone and see if we can't see it through.  It
sounds like there are still a number of volunteers working on it, in
addition to Andreas & Vinicius working on some short term fixes in HTML for
the current site.  (There are logs of bugs in Bugzilla if anyone wants to
help on the HTML stuff in the short term!)

After reading through all of the emails, looking at open bugs in the
gnome-web Bugzilla under beta, and reviewing
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/CmsSetup, I'd like to try and update that
wiki page with the current open items and see if there are any volunteers
who would like to work on them.

Here is what I took away as a brief summary of next steps for wgo on Plone
(Please correct me where I'm wrong):

* We need to find a volunteer to host a test instance of wgo on Plone
(similar to what Ramon had a couple years ago) - Jen Kleins mentioned in an
email 27APR09 that David, who runs Plone-Hostings in France might be
interested.   Jens, can you put David in touch with me or us on the list?

* http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/CmsSetup needs to be updated with next
steps & action items - a few of the bugs I clicked through to Bugzilla that
are marked as open on this page are really closed.  (I'm willing to take
this on and re-write and maintain this page for action items once we have a
good feeling of what the next round of tasks are).

(Carsten Senger email 03APR09):

* Clean up theme glitches, template work and customizations (such as
removing author from pages)
* Configuration for multilingual content
* Update to Plone 3.3 (Jens Klein mentioned helping with this on 08APR09)
* Working content export / import from test system into staging system

(Jonathan Wilde 08APR09)

* CSS complete (but is unorganized and undocumented)
* Cleanup needed - Jonathan is working on major cleanup of the stylesheets
in a new branch (wgo.theme/branches/speedbreeze)

With Murray's help, I'd like to understand who is working on (or interested
in) the Plone migration for wgo.  I'd like to help in capturing the
remaining tasks, and I'll work on getting those in to Bugzilla and on lgo,
which might help in gaining additional volunteers if we have a clear goal of
what work needs to be done.  Jens had mentioned in an email that there are
at least 5 Plone volunteers working on this, and my hope would be that with
a little communication we can continue to push on together to make progress
on this.  I have no idea if it's realistic or not yet, but I would love to
see a new website for the GNOME 3.0 launch next year.

Thoughts?  Feedback?

Paul
