I'm glad to see participation from active community site administrators. We may not be able to match all of our expectations or needs, but it's good that we have a chance and a place to work out our common understanding and goals. > Here is my first question as a member. > Who's going to decide which CMS will be installed on fedoraproject.org? It will be decided on this list. The decision, as all are in Fedora, comes from the project leaders. Ideas drift to the top based on merit. This is why PHP-based solutions are non-starters. They can never drift to the top because the merit of features-over-security is not the Fedora way. > Please let me know if I misunderstood the plan.

Please keep thinking of solutions, given the limitations and parameters that the project leadership puts in place. We cannot endlessly debate what is the right solution. We need to pick one that best matches our values and capabilities, and push forward with it. It is better to take our time adding functionality to a good-enough but lacking solution, than to get ourselves stuck with a really-great security nightmare. The two people who have 1000x more merit than the rest of us when it comes to the Fedora infrastructure have put their feet down against PHP and for Python. AFAIC, the decision is made about language, now we just need to decide which Python-based solution to use. - 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/
