Hi all,
I installed Joomla! yesterday on my page, for making a example of what could be
flightgear.org in the next time.
Joomla! is OpenSource CMS which is under GNU GPL. The look of the page can be
easily changed with html and css, and there are lot of GNU GPL templates to use
and change out.
It is barrier-free, has already installed the possibilites to make newsfeeds,
votings etc. There are modules out, so we can add galleries etc. easily. I'm
sure we can also still use the current gallery.
It has still place for the advertisement, but isn't so much in the foreground
like we have now.
For changing the content of the page, you will have to log in and you will find
a wysiwyg-editor which be used from any browser, so migrating and changing the
content ist just paste©! It is not more unsafe than other pages done with
CMS or without.
I'm now out of town for maybe two days, after that I will try to organize the
important parts of flightgear.org and fill my example with content, so everyone
can see, how flightgear.org could look and feel in near future.
I think that's the best solution so far, to make flightgear.org look nice
again, but easy to use for all especially Curt too!
Kind regards
HHS

Betreff: Re: [Flightgear-devel] Internet presentation and handling[ was
FlightGear presentation on the LinuxTag expo]
The last time we revamped the web site, we had someone put together a
demonstration page of the new layout for others to review. We decided we liked
it and decided it was worth moving forward, so that person then proceeded to
convert the entire site to the new layout. It was a lot of work, but it was
also big step forward over what we had before.
Best regards,
Curt.
