Hi Marc,
No, I like the modules section the way it is. I think you did a good
job on the web site in general, actually. Nothing jumped out at me
as needing to be fixed; certainly not changing "modules" to
"projects."
I was talking more about an addition to the web site that would
"market" development opportunities to would-be jboss contributors.
For instance, are you interested in object-relational mapping? We
have a good start in JAWS, but there are these additional
challenges: x, y, z... Here's why those things would be great to
have... Here are the programming/architectural issues that you
may face... Here's how to get started... Here are the other people
working in this area... And here's where we'll enshrine your name
on our web-page of fame if you succeed :-).
We're not exactly trying to sell something in the same way GM is
trying to sell a car. But for people who are interested about this
kind of development project, we have some exciting opportunities
for them. It's to everyone's advantage if they can easily match their
interests up to our opportunities.
Certainly this could be done in bugzilla, but will it be as effective?
Or might someone miss out on the chance to contribute because
they never found out that we had a need that was right up their
alley...
On the other hand, bugzilla is easier to maintain and more
democratic. Both these points are virtues, so I could go either way.
