Maybe I should have proposed this before but, hey, nobody is perfect: Let's drop most goals for the next release. If you agree on the point below I will come up with a new timeline, this time with a more feasible timeline and defined dependencies. There is no time to produce a new wgo as good as the GNOME desktop, and there is probably no time to produce a revamped website at all. It would be complex for a team of full time professionals, impossible for us. At the beginning I thought the GNOME 2.16 release would not affect us much since many people involved in wgo are not package maintainers but I was wrong: many of you are busy with the 2.16 sprint, many others are on holidays and the rest is also busy. Myself have divided feelings doing whatever wgo when I should be looking for a job. :) Proposal about http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/Goals Keep for 2.16 (6/Sep and 4/Oct) - Complete the core planning tasks: scope, audience, requirements, use cases, site structure, navigation, homepage & secondary pages elements, policies. It is almost everything already there but we don't have a common vision nor solid documentation, and we will suffer from that. - Choose a CMS. What about a first round by 6/Sep and a decision by 4/Oct. - 2.16 Release notes. They will be done anyway. - gnome.org site map with all subsites. Useful for the current wgo, can be patched. - library.gnome.org v0.9, I assume Goran is keeping his SoC schedule. - official relation with gnomefiles.org can be patched to http://www.gnome.org/softwaremap/ - Single gateway to all the news sources can be patched at news.gnome.org using current feeds, not creating new ones. - Single gateway to all the contact, feedback and support sources can be patched or dropped. Personally I prefer that Michael concentrates on the news sources. - First version of Software Map, let's continue working on it but let's drop it as a goal for the next release. - Layout redesign dropped for the next release. - What is GNOME and why, the conceptualization belongs to planning and fits in this release, any specific writing is implementation and is dropped to the next release. - All the unassigned goals dropped to the next release. Note that "dropped to the next release" doesn't imply "to be finished in 6 months". Tasks for the 2.18 release can start with a first iteration now if there is people wanting to take them, and many of them will need to be completed in the first weeks/months in order to let the dependent tasks start and be completed. -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org | http://guadec.org
