PENDING: CMS: Test website setup in GNOME servers
  Carsten, what's the status here? Alexandro sent a message reporting
some problems
  on the setup. Was this solved?

We've made an excelent job in this milestone! Thanks a lot everyone
for the hard work! Let's try to get the test website running by the
end of this week.

Suggestions/questions:

- Content team: send a list of specific tasks involving content
production/review for the Front page, About and Contact sections. This
will make it easier for new volunteers to jump in;
- Content team: it seems we already have quite a lot of pre-existing
content for About and Contact, right? We should have a much more
exciting text on front page presenting GNOME. The current "What is
GNOME" text in w.g.o is totally boring!
- Content team: let's keep working on the content in the wiki during
most of this milestone. As I said, I want to avoid any
infrastructure-related distractions. By the end of this cycle, we can
start moving the content to the test website. Let's see.
- CMS team: send a list of tasks around theming so that new volunteers
can get involved; Please, document theming bits in
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/Plone/Implementation.
- CMS team: did you have time to change the Plone content tree to
match the final content structure?
- CMS and Design teams: good communication is essential to efficiently
get the new design implemented in Plone. Use the mailing list and irc
as much as you can!

At the end of this milestone, we should have the new design applied in
our Plone site, a nice front page, and the About and Contact sections
pretty much done. Let's make it happen!

Cheers!
