Just a note for requirements. If our solution is a roll-your-own and it looks and acts like what we have today, we are missing a big opportunity. _Coding_ projects can get away with a stripped down system that is mailman/public_html/SCM-of-choice. All the other projects are losing the interest of people who have to learn so many new things to do their task in Ambassadors, Marketing, Design, Documentation, etc. Also, having a large administrative overheard of a small group of highly busy people as the gateway misses our ability to act as a distributed community. The Gforge-like tools let people administer membership in their own projects, etc., without having to mess with system wide settings. This is the reason I encourage us to look at a full-featured system and to think BIG with it. It is _not_ for the purpose of attracting contributors from those who already like what we have. It is for helping attract and keep contributors who want something with easier entrance and maintenance. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Editor * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Fedora Documentation Project http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject Learn.
