: I'd like once again to push for a move to SVN (or better, Bazaar) and : using Trac for the website. Then many people could contribute easier : both on code but as well the documentation if held in the Wiki included : with Trac. : : And it will probably make the project appear more active than it does : currently, which hopefully generates more users and contributors.
I completely agree that the website makes the project appear completely out-of-date. And we need a better source code control system. The original problem is that I've never been into keeping up web pages (obviously). I put together a plan a couple of months ago for a complete updating, which was to include: o automated blog-style website with wiki o release of CVS as 0.92 as is, with 0.93 after some work/testing o posting of updated API documentation o move to git or other modern, distributed SCCS Certainly nano-X should have a website that would allow user-posting of FAQs, documentation of setup and configuration issues, how to use fonts, images, transparency, etc. This could all go in an open wiki. I would like a section that would allow blogging (by me and some others) seperately from the wiki. All the current docs could be re-formatted fairly easily I think. With regards to SCCS, I've always been nervous with allowing write capability, because most contributers aren't testing on enough platforms (and more importantly framebuffer modes. However, this was done in the past for the eCos and RTEMS platforms. I think moving to a git-style SCCS would allow users to easily house and handle contributions if not to the whole, then to each other. Lately few (in spite of the way-outdated site) have volunteered many contributions. And of course I have been behind with some contributions. (I would like to have a full discussion on issues related to back-contributions seperately). Please comment.
