Hi all,
In parallel with enhancing the download process for endusers, [0] I'd
like to revisit the overall infrastructure requirements. You probably
recall this favourite page:
* http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Infrastructure_Requirements
Basically, it's a wishlist of how we want things to be on OOo,
primarily from the contributors' perspective. I would like for us to
revisit it and update it, and see if we can finalize it. How will
this effort differ from the enduser pages redesign? Well, the one for
endusers focuses on making it easy (or at any rate easier) for
endusers to get OOo binaries in their language plus any other things
they may want, such as extensions, support, etc. This infrastructure
effort is focused on making it easier for developers (but also any
other contributor or user of OOo site) to do things.
I realize it's absurd to put a deadline on something like this but
consider this: with key new members to the community such as Redflag
and IBM, now is the time to clarify what we want. So, the sooner the
better, and if we can come up with a finalized list by 1 October, if
not sooner, that would be terrific (indeed, I fantasize this could be
done at OOoCon.)
What happens after the infrastructure requirements page is finalized?
Well, I envision that the ESC, which includes representatives of the
developers and stakeholders, can vote on it. That will then become
the document we can use. And if they could do this by early to mid
October, if not sooner....
Best,
Louis
