This comes from the Usability list. En/na Shaun McCance ha escrit: > For the record, I'm pretty much completely opposed to relying on > live.gnome.org for any real public-facing stuff.

I agree with this distinction between "public-facing stuff" and "internal planning and sketching". > Get a single CMS in place and put everything you can under it, > including all the current developer.gnome.org content.

I've been doublecheking that the functionality suggested/required in our revamp discussion can be handled by Drupal, and this CMS can handle without a problem the functionality present at dgo. Maybe there are excepcions. If you thing you've got one please show it. > library.gnome.org really needs to happen.

We only need someone knowing how lgo should be and willing to make it happen (the same need we have for the rest of the web space). About generating PDF from submitted content, all I can say is that Drupal has some capabilities. It seems this is not enough for our needs. Then the options are, I think, very simple and it's a matter of choosing the right one: - Keep the current way of solving this problem if it's satisfactory. If it's not satisfactory, evaluate what is more suitable: - Invest our time improving the current functionality. - Invest our time improving Drupal's functionality, contributing the patches and new developments upstream. It might look like I ave an obsession with Drupal. In fact my pre.obsession is to move the revamp forward, I think Drupal can be of big help even if it won't solve all the problems (because no alternative tool will solve them all either). Shaun, Calum and others interested in DocBook, XSLT, PDF conversions. Could you please have a look to these links to see if they would be of any interest for us? If you have specific questions I can ask there.
