Perhaps we can use that model to restart the mozdev website maintenance and uplift process. ( such as http://www.mozdev.org/drupal/wiki/New-People) agreed, although it will be necessary to have some responsible Admin Personell with the necessary permissions to change stuff.No doubt many of the AMO developers are paid contractors but having an active volunteer team with one or two central gate-keepers rather than a bunch of formal "positions" where each person is responsible for one particular area might encourage more people to chip in if it appears to them that the barriers to entry are relatively low. SVN sounds like a good system, google code uses it as well. And its easy enough so even I understand it. but lets not have pie in the sky maybe it should just be owned by the new people first because I fear are no resources left to pull it over. It wouldn't be good make a fresh start with a broken system.It might be good to move the actual mozdev site source code to something more modern like SVN which would encourage people to download the code and work on it. How complete is the wossname hovercraft package and how easy is it for some vounteeer with some sysadmin experience to install mozdev locally for testing purposes? :) Like I said before, is the main part of the site independent from drupal? (My impression was the forums were the main reasons for drupal) If this was a major stumbling block, I would suggest dropping the forums (or archiving them) with a view to replacing them with something easier - does anybody on this list have experience with forum administration or could come up with a simpler alternative?Drupal: The problem is that this is fairly intimidating and the barriers to entry are very high. Most of us however have experience running (or at least moderating) a webforum running PHPbbs or Invision Powerboard. The most important site parts, from a technical standpoint in order of precedence would be: 1 - Extension homepages (for linking from extension - about) 2 - Projects & Project Member Administration 3 - Bug Tracking 4 - Source Hosting (I would say this could be outsourced, if necessary) ... ... (please insert missing items here ... ) ... 5 - Forums (drupal?) 6 - Blogs (drupal?) 7 - Shop I think we need to set up some Wiki Pages on Mozdev in order to get a full list of parts. I just leave this list here for you currently active Mozdev admins and Project owners to complete / discuss, this is just shooting from the hip, so apologies if I left out important things or got the order wrong..
