I did send this originally to the kde-www address but I thought I'd send it here as well for a bit of fun.
Kind regards, David ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <david.wright12...@gmail.com> Date: 17 Aug 2014 00:24 Subject: A change of heart To: "kde-www" <kde-...@kde.org> Cc: Hi guys, I've been doing a bit of research lately on CMS's and stumbled across http://commonsinabox.org/ which is basically a bundled buddypress plugin which powers http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/ amogest other. Given the social nature of this setup, and the fact it is built upon wordpress (it is basically a set of wordpress plugins that have been tested together), I felt that this might be something that KDE might like to take under consideration? A standard install would include forums, groups, collaborative docs, social @ mentions, user profiles etc, etc. Also, using the multi user aspect of wordpress it would still allow certain projects to keep their identity, but remain under the networks umbrella, as evidenced by: http://helpwanted.commons.gc.cuny.edu/ Naturally, being exposed then to the wordpress plugin ecosphere would allow then a better integrated events management, job board, even a store if desired. Ultimately though, the goal is to increase funding. The KDE websphere is too spread out, and this would help reign it in so we can really do focused funding campaigns on users. That would be the advantage of the groups, as we could tailor funding drives to particular interests and hopefully have better success. Administration might also be made easier as we could get rid of a fair few subdomains by moving to this kind of platform. Anyway, it's late, and I'm jabbering. Let me know what you think! :-) ps There is also a buddypress app that could be rebranded: https://github.com/yuttadhammo/buddydroid Mozilla were also working on bugzilla intergration a while back: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643570
