I think what we need to come up with is a general structure for the projects hosted. What exactly do we want to offer? This is the list I can think of so far:
€ CVS repository. Some developers might already have their own CVS repositories, perhaps at SF, but others may choose to have it hosted here. € mailing lists and Web archives for them. Perhaps a better approach is to have common mailing lists for all the applications (separated for users and developer), so we can maintain a closer community. Should we reuse instead Apache's mailing lists? € Web site presence. I think we need to have a combination of static pages with dynamic ones, to show off examples and so on. For the Web site, I think we need to maintain a common look and feel, just like Mozilla has for their applications. How do people publish their content? Do they have access to a staging area to test their site, and then publish it? It would be great if we can get some thoughts on what we need here. The last bullet seems to be the biggest item. It would be great if we can come up with some more requirements on what it takes to have Web presence for these applications, and then sketch out an implementation in Cocoon for it.
