OK, as part of my policy of announcing things about 17 years before I'll get time to do it, I'm going to make the following proposal:
Proposal:
- Move the ALUG web site to static core and a Wiki
Background information: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki
Rationale:
- We're not keeping an up-to-date site
Very true something needs to be done.
- People bitch at me variously about XML and CVS
Including me, too much trouble for us non-programer types who don't use cvs on a daily basis.
- People bitched at me about Zope
I feel zope failed due to apathy and the rapid change to cvs.
- People will still bitch about the Wiki, but at least we should get an up-to-date web site with no barrier to entry at all.
People will bitch about anything "why no free beer at alug meets then".
A site with information that is no out of date on a wiki and static stuff with a life of more that the time between meets on a standard web with editors having access seems the best bet.
Your options:
- Idly support this move (most people)
I support the move but at least I have given it some thought.
- Pledge to help maintain the wiki when it's online
Yes I will help maintain the wiki if it is in my ability. (I hope this doen't come back to haunt me).
- Mutiny (feel free)
Is that a free mutiny as in open source, I mean we can't have a non GPL mutiny now can we. :-)
Vote now :-)
It gets my vote as long as if it don't work we try something else, which is what we seem to have done throughout so go ahead.
