hi,
after a talk on #centos-devel with Ralph and Karanbir, we've decided to send out a mail with all the details we might want to discuss on the list.
Here are a few points:
1. Who will take the responsibility to coordinate the work and the ipothetic team we could set up to make this possible. I offered to cover that role and I will do my best to have everything working.
2. Karanbir suggested that around 3-4 people should be involved in the project, mostly: 2a. developer / coder on the platform 2b. a sysadmin type person ( James Hogarth (james.hogarth@gmail.com) offered to help out with this role) 3c. atleast 1 UI person 4d atleast one design person in the website SIG
if you are willing to help out, please state your intentions on this mail!
3. cms software to use, many proposals have been made to the list about which software the new website should use. This is actually up to the official CentOS developers but looks like drupal is the platform that took more +1 to the list since now. (it also has LDAP integration which seemed to be the bottleneck for Ralph in the previous try to renew the website)
4. What the website should contain that it is not on the wiki? We will have to set up a wiki page with all ideas and opinions about this to avoid adding useless content.
5. Having the infrastructure up and running. This is an important point since we can spend words and words on the mailing list or irc but we need to make our ideas effective, otherwise we will get back to the old situation. (i.e stuck after 3 years)
6. I / we think that it is not time to change, I know it will take time, much time and even months but we need to start making this happen.
well, that's all. Please contribute to the discussion, any idea or proposal is welcome but please avoid to send out a post commenting which software should be used or not. (this call will be made by official centos developers like Ralph or Karanbir) We need to know if anyone is willing to help and give some time to the project and also we want to hear your ideas about the website content, what do you think it will be useful to have on the website, what's not,what should go to the wiki etc. We need a website that does something and provide useful informations for newcomers and for experienced users, a website which is nice and handy at the same time.
Let's make this happen altogether.

I meant:
6. I / we think that *it is* time to change, I know it will take time, much time and even months but we need to start making this happen.
cheers,
As mentioned I'm happy to help out on a SysAdmin perspective.
As we discussed I'll be able to help - but quite busy - up till about May but can then devote more time to assisting with whatever solution is chosen.
Given the recent chat that Drupal appears to run fine under what will be CentOS 5.6 with the php53 package I'd give +1 to this so that we can keep as much as possible required for this within the CentOS repositories rather than relying on third party ones.

Hi again,

As mentioned there has already been a lot of work done (with quite a few results, obviously), but I would have been glad if one had asked me about, before kicking off another round.
Besides that, I am happy to help with UI and Artwork and will of course provide help in migrating existing forums.
Kind Regards Marcus
Although very familiar with Joomla, and accomplished in developing UIs & designing, I unfortunately cannot help with Drupal (unfamiliar with that CMS).

I am sorry if I didnt mail you to let you know about this. I didnt know you contributed in the past. Anyway I think that the wiki pages (and the contributions) made in the past should be the base to start again.

your help is very very welcome, and again thanks for all the efforts you put / will put making this possible.

Oh, that is what is happening here. I've pointed out several times that there already was work done (and I think I mentioned your name) :)
This has all come up during the last few days, I am a little overwhelmed, too.

Thank you.

I know that James has already offered to help as a sys admin, but I am willing to help as well. I'm pretty much immediately available, as I just quit my day job to focus on some businesses my wife and I run. I now have a lot more free time.
I also have development/database experience and could help out there as needed.

That's great Steve - due to work commitments I'm going to be fairly tied up in how much I can contribute till May.
If you're about to help before then it would be a big boost.
