To follow this up. Major problems as identified in those vision discussions:
It is unclear to the average observer (and often even to those more involved with our work!): A) What we're up to B) Who's doing it C) How you get involved D) [maybe not so important] What the decision making structure is community.okfn.org is an attempt to address this by: 1. Integrate project and working group info in a single place 2. Centralized "recent changes" to give an overview of what we are up to 3. Create a dedicated space for OKFN "members" and others involved in what we're doing so the community becomes visible. (This will also be the concrete implementation of the governance structure discussed last November [1]) We want both: * Input on the technology (wordpress versus drupal versus plone versus ...) * How to do 1+2+3 with given technology (e.g. anyone out there familiar with drupal profile pages?) * What else we should be doing (see http://wiki.okfn.org/WebsiteRedesign for current discussion) Regards, Rufus [1]: http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/okfn-discuss/2009-November/006976.html On 2 February 2010 12:32, Jonathan Gray <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear all, > > As you know the Open Knowledge Foundation is a community-driven > organisation.
