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?
Sure, plus explain why, if relevant.
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?
At least some but let's shoot for all.
Should we just layout "tools" (the simple part) or is an
architecture definition -- i.e. how we expect these parts to
interact -- appropriate also...
Hm.... good point. Let's start with tools. There are many ways it
could interact and any number of environments out there, but really
it comes down to tools, at least at this stage.
