[Was: E-Org facelift - Now: eOrg RFC]

$ Moritz Angermann, v1, July 2nd 2004 $

what is this?
=============
This is about a possible Redising and reorganisation of
the eOrg Webrepresentation.
The idea is to generate a better publicity.
And more people to use e/eOrg/eApps. Yes this is about
PR. I'm not a PR expert but I'd like to try.

The Goal
========
The goal shall be to make e more friendly for user,
developer and themer. And give a better overview of the
whole e-project.

Let's go
========
As of now(irc of today) we would be having at least 3 modules.

o Some kind of server as integral part for datasupply.
o e.org website using the data supplied from the server.
o Some kind of Store/iTunes/RedCarpet like thingy.

e.org
=====
 A general User, Developer, Themer seperation.
 a scatched out layout idea can be found at http://neofeed.blogspot.com
 The current e.org page has mixed all together.

 Most of this is Developer Centric. Though a metalib covering
documentation is missing.
 The fontsize is small and not too appealing/hard to read in my opinion.

 We all know e17 won't build and as such is dead. Currenly when using
e everyone is using e16
 with the tools based on EFL.

 Thus a quick way how a layout could look:

    Something like http://go-mono:8080 and http://www.php.net/printf
could be nice. \w comments

 o.org would have to be easily extenable and maintainable while being
 at the same time simple to query via a generic extenable interface
(RPC anyone?).
 
eFrontEnd
==========
 Raster had the idea of having something RedCarpet alike or iTunes.
 Where one would simply click the App one wants and it would get installed.
 Possibly popping up with a Dialog to select the wished themes.
 And something like this in the background:
 `epackage -repo http://repository.enlightenment.org/repo -install examine`

eBackEnd a.k.a. Server
=======================
 Would have to supply the requested data without too much hazzle.
 I have no Idea how the phpBB would be weeded in this... Rewrite?
 Neighter do I have an idea what to do with the Planet software.
 This could probably be Engeneered in PHP.

The missing parts
=================
 We do not yet have a way to do the server/client communication.
 XML would come to ones mind though raster has no clear view on
 why to use xml for this instead of some binary/text format.

Suggestions, Ideas, Comments are wellcome!
