Hi, I understand and support your request for a clear specification, but would say that it is something to be discussed jointly. I wouldn't presume to "demand" anything of a client-side developer. This would be more of a talk, where we see what's possible easily, what would be more effort, etc. It would be ideal if there would be a person who has an own interest in this, and can propose solutions. I guess the overall idea is to have the functionality of the current web-based registry but without discussions/comments. We could keep data entry on the web-site for a while, and have the plug-in do query and download/install only. Regarding the server-side, my preference would be to keep Drupal right now. We can fairly easily expose the existing database through the "Services" module (see https://drupal.org/project/services). Once we have a clear interface, changing either side should be possible at a later stage. cheers On Wed, Apr 9, 2014 at 1:04 PM, SorinN <nemes.sorin@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Can be taken - but a web(designer/developer) need good specs before > starting this task. > > There are plenty of CMS'es on the wild - most of them with many ready-made > modules Joomla / Word Press/ CMSMS - they are the easy to implement (and > not hard to modify). > > Drupal is solid and well documented for peoples who need to develop plugins > on their own - especially security things... > > ...but before any choice to be considered - a solid set of specifications > must be set > (I presume there is a kind of governance on Gimp Registry - which can > finalize this thing) > > once the goal is point by point on paper - would be quite simple to choose > from already existing platforms. > > > > > 2014-04-08 19:41 GMT+03:00 scl <scl.gplus@xxxxxxxxx>: > > > > > > > On 8.4.2014 at 10:44 AM <ingo> wrote: > > Gimp Registry Future > > > > Dear Registry Users, > > > > I have maintained the registry for over 15 years now, and for the last > > couple of years we have had an excellent team of co-maintainers who took > > on a lot of the work.
