We need to find a pragmatic yet valid and consistant way to progress with the GUADEC website. It's understandable that Dave asks for a site to be created ASAP in order to start kicking the GUADEC7. It's also understandable that Jeff is asking for a broader & mid term strategy before installing anything. And it's perfectly understandable your suggestion of deciding first who and what in order to decide then how are we going to make it. The problem is how to satisfy all these not-so-compatible needs. :) I think it has been enough discussion (or at least enough time to discuss) about using the Drupal CMS as a basis. I know we haven't defined a list of requirements but let me ask you for requirements that would make Drupal uncompatible, useless or clearly not a good option. Assuming we are going to use Drupal, personally I would start with a fresh installation and a work-in-progress methodology, as if we would install a wiki before having a very clear idea of how are we going to structure it. This would satisfy Dave's needs of urgency and would not harm Jeff and Fernando's needs of having more planning. Whatever the requirements are, they will include the urgent information people like Jeff would like to see online now. As for today I can't imagine any strategy that would not start with a fresh installation, so we could install Drupal, start working with it, keeping the discussion about the web requirements for GUADEC7 and beyond. I'm going to post a first list of requirements to be discussed, based on previous guadec websites and some extra ideas. In the meantime, anyone interested in joing the GUADEC web team please rise your e-hand. Fernando, you were already in the list and you are not going to scape easily. ;) En/na Fernando San Martín Woerner ha escrit: > I guess that we need to decide who will be our web site team, and what > are our needs, then we can look for technologies to solve/do those > tasks.
