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....
Should we just make edits to the wiki page? Here comes my stupid comment
(I didn't even know this page existed until now)... I really don't
understand item #1. Based on what I see here, it appears that you're
only defining SOME of the electronic communication "infrastructure". Is
this a correct assessment?
Should we just layout "tools" (the simple part) or is an architecture
definition -- i.e. how we expect these parts to interact -- appropriate
also...
