No matter what system is chosen I want to see: - all modules we write for it MUST live in fedora cvs and the developers will NOT have direct write access to the web server running the website and from where the system runs. This is for the system's protection and to enforce rigor among the people maintaining the site. - Programming standards like the process we have implemented for extras packages. So no one person can push through some crack onto the live system. I think we're making a mistake by developing our website using a language which is not the primary development language for applications and utilities we write for the distribution we work on. We're dividing our programming resources and we're sending a mixed message on language use. Not to mention encouraging poor programming practices. End Quote -sv
