[...] Here's an idea. The CGIs provided by TuCows are a bit... erm,
ancient. We have kind of patched them, making them multilingual with
separated templates and language files. The work is not complete as
we only needed a few things, but if anybody were interested, drop me
a line and I SVN it up (I hope I can do that, haven't checked the
license yet :)) Let's hack on that together!
No license problems there (GPL). I've only once sent a very small
patch. Never heard about it again... The idea of a reseller maintained
repository is worth thinking about. I do fear a bit that it could
easily just vanish from the resellers "collective awareness" or that
the maintainer loses interest/time in it etc. I'd prefer a repository
and bug tracker maintained by OpenSRS. The bug/issue tracker could
also be used for issues with the other interfaces and web-pages
OpenSRS offers.
I think it's even more difficult to find out what we *want* to do. There
are people who use the RWI only, some (will) use the store, some the
CGIs "as-is", some have a homegrown solution. Where is the place where a
community-driven version would fit in?
OTOH if the codebase is nice and sound and accessible, I can imagine
people hacking in whenever they need something. It doesn't work with the
current codebase, as it is not versioned, and is also broken in many
ways (at least for me, who needs to translate it).
If we do a community based solution I think we should use one of the
sourceforge alternatives with repository, bug tracker, mailing list
and user roles administration included.
I can also imagine forking a branch from the CGI-s - especially as I
have already worked on that :)
As the matter of fact, if there are at least a few interested, I will
just do that, plain and simple.
I'd be willing to spend _some_ time on it, but I simply don't have
that much time (only for rants about discontinued mailing lists).
Same here. It just doesn't worth it to create a new solution all by
ourselves (=our company), but I could hack on a community solution if
it's a sensible design.
Cheers

P.S: Aah, Magyarul, a language I fear I'll never find time to learn.
Even though it has a sensible mapping between written and spoken
language and the one and only correct date format... :)
That is a very good point! :))
