Replacing Squishdot

[Christian Schaller <Uraeus linuxrising org>]

Hi,
I think there is no doubt that Squishdot doesn't really give us want we
want at the moment. There was a big discussion about what to do a while
back where the general consensus was to just upgrade Squishdot.
While this upgrade fixed most of the stability problems, the
functionality is still lacking.

I think if someone with the rights skills volunteered to create a new
and better solution there would be no objections. Wether this solution
means fixing Squishdot and getting things like moderation, accounts and
some new sidebars working or replacing it with something else (PHP3
or..) is not that important I think.

The origianl resistance from gnome-hackers against removing Squishdot
was more due to fear of another solution needing many months to get in
place than a statement of support for Squishdot and Zope.

If Steve is setting up some authentication in regards to the new
software map, maybe we could use the same authentication for a new
Gnotices authentication system?

Any takers?

Christian
