You are perfectly correct. But ... We have been laboring for months without needed functionality on fedoraproject.org _If_ there is an end in site, then great. But I want to know that our RFEs are not going to sink into a blackhole. Obviously, you have been a one-person show, which explains much of this. So, I'm going to pledge my efforts to find you more resources, probably from within Red Hat. They can work in Python, put up a Python-based CMS, add functionality to Moin Moin, and support whatever packages into FE that we need. If I can do that, can you, Seth, as the fp.o Chief SA, and to everyone else on this list, make this pledge: to make these additional functions a high priority? Provide status updates on when they can be completed? Give us some chances to work with beta versions? Etc. Here is a quick list: * Two-way editing of XML in CVS using the Wiki. * CMS back-end to allow us to have: - More writers and editors of content using a workflow that forces approval before content can be posted. - More Web-based functionality to attract contributors, without compromising on the extreme value of having all in XML * The ability to do more automagic with aggregation and building of content on the fly (RSS feeding into XML templates, or whatever) Anyone else have anything to add here? I think we need a separate thread to discuss the functionality of our CMS, separate from a discussion of specific solutions and languages. This topic may already be going, but I can't tell because all the messages seem to be about "[Fedora-websites-list] Re:..." and I haven't read through them yet. :) - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Red Hat SELinux Guide http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/selinux-guide/
