But first, let's agree that the domain name should be developer.mozilla.org --
Sure.
The problem is that, if we want to get fancier, we have to write all the code ourselves. Which means it'll probably never happen.
We already have to maintain despot.
My (quite possibly incorrect) understanding of despot is that it hasn't really changed for years, and there's not many people around who know the code, which is of the standard that Bugzilla's used to be. Not perhaps the best base for a new fine-grained user management system.
Unless you are going to pile future unknown requirements on it, I don't see how we'll fail for want of a better despot. Either we'll limp along, or we'll improve despot -- or later (that's the key -- not right now!) we will lift up the server content on really big jacks, slide out despot and even CVS, and drop the content back down on something better. Later.
Why make that work for ourselves then, rather than starting on the right foot now?
"Mozilla must use the best open source solution to solve a well-understood problem." - Brendan Eich, original Mozilla Roadmap.
Is CVS really the answer to that question for website content management? If it is, why is no-one else using it?
What are people using on sites of the same scale as ours? Tell me more, fast. And remember not to multiply risk gratuitously at the front of the schedule.
OK. See new root post.
