I am truly lost in this maze.
So far, we had made good progress, as follows:
We identified 23 roles in the LibO ecosystem.
The idea was to create an integrated workflow that caters to their needs all.
A given team can assume multiple roles. Some roles may be re-assigned later.
The website was supposed to have a workflow that allows all roles to work
collaboratively.
It was also supposed to help any contributor in taking up any role of his
choice.
The website was also going to integrate internet-based tools for the entire
SDLC.
In this, we were going to consult the people who are currently playing one or
more of the 23 roles.
AFAIK, the current "SilverStripe" website is not being designed with these
goals at all.
That is why we were talking about developing another website with strategically
planned AI.
Why is that goal ditched all of a sudden?
And what on earth is going on??
Note that the "second" website has nothing to do with what CMS we should use.
Just put aside the perennial arguments about SilverStripe and Drupal for a
moment.
Regards,
Narayan
