I completely agree with Paul. We need to have a visible website with comptemporary content asap. Maybe my previous posts were not clear. I restate them. I proposed a switch to Plone *some time ago* because I wanted the same as Paul, but I considered that I could not work in CPS (even with a login, I could hardly find my way in the editing pages, do any actual editing and realize there how the pages that I edit would look like). So, *for me*, CPS was more a blocking point. And furthermore, I consider that advertizing CPS as we do now on EP makes little sense. But this is not important *now*. If Paul knows CPS and can help, and can put the content, perhaps help me a little to get to understand how to work (only the basics) with CPS, and we can have rapidly a working site for EP2007, then let's go now with CPS. I would suggest that we keep somewhere a copy of the EP2006 site as it was, as a reference and archive of the previous editions. For now on, I'll keep on working in the wiki, and try to work if I can and find the time, also in the site that Paull will be working on.

So we need to find asap a machine of our own, not the one of CERN, where we (the people working on EP2007 orgainisation, but who could help with this job ?) could install indico for our own use. > And I suppose the details of the 2006 conference will remain where they are > for the foreseeable future.

I hope my reasons are now clear enough. With you on board, there is no very good reason anymore. > Are the people wanting to switch actually going > to work on content? that was my main point. For now, I propose to work on the content in the wiki and start learning the basics of CPS with you for example, if needed. > arguably getting quite late to think about developing fancy conference > software even though it's all supposedly so easy in Python. completely true. Let's go on today (aka this year) with CPS and we'll reconsider the switch next year. Nicolas PS I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to be online on irc later today as I have to attend another, physical and professionnal, meeting. -- Nicolas Pettiaux - email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
