Hello Henri,
sounds very good. I would volunteer for that project and hope that there
are some more people than Matthias and me who join into the management
and who are willing to fill such a project with content.
The question now is: What are the next steps?
Hope that my idea is not too "big" for me because I'm just trying to
create my first site with midgard and puzzled up completely. I hope that
I learn enough for my own project by engaging into the user group...
:-)
Btw: There is the "Linuxtage" ( one of the biggest or even the biggest
fair in Europe concerning Linux) from July 5.-8. 2001 in Stuttgart (
http://www.linuxtag.org ) and non-commercial projects get a booth there
if they want. If there would be some guys who would volunteer for a
Midgard-booth, I would ask the people who organize this event, if
Midgard still can participate with a (free) booth. It is necessary that
there would be some people who really can demonstrate Midgard and it's
handling, either in English or German. The time is short but I think
this would be a first and great opportunity for presenting Midgard and a
Midgard- User-Group in Germany. #
But one step after the other..
Regards,
Lucia
