Re: Proposal for a new CMS

["Lucas Rocha" <lucasr at mundo gmail com>]

Hi all,

Our new CMS is almost ready in the layout side. I'd like you to have a
look and check what's missing. Known issues:

- Archives is not ready yet (jeff is looking for a plugin which
 does what we want)
- Intro text in the articles are not styled correctly
- Content is not migrated yet
- The articles URL are not backwards compatible yet

I'd like to propose that we change the URL schedule to
 articles/year/month/article_name

IMO, It makes more sense for GJ. A backward compatibility redirection
needs to be provided of course.

The test site is available at:
 http://test.gnomejournal.org/

Cheers!
