One of the things that we need to do around Preview is to make it
easier for people to figure out how they can get involved. At the
moment, we have a Get Involved link on each of
chandler.osafoundation.org <http://chandler.osafoundation.org/
getinvolved.php> and cosmo.osafoundation.org <http://
cosmo.osafoundation.org/getinvolved.php>. The Chandler page points
to a wiki HelpUs page <http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/HelpUs>,
while the Cosmo page contains a link to a hopelessly out of data
Bugzilla query.
I'd propose the following:
* We use a link called "Getting Involved" as opposed to "For
Developers", since we want to people besides developers get involved
* We we try and unify as many of the items from the current Get
Involved pages into a single page that could be linked from the main
"Get Involved" link.
* We have project specific sub sections or different pages, one for
the desktop and another for the server
* In keeping with Katie's message <http://lists.osafoundation.org/
pipermail/chandler-dev/2007-July/008507.html> about reducing the
usage wiki pages for projects, i propose that we convert all projects
currently listed on the HelpUs page to bugzilla bugs, with a HelpUs
keyword. We can use the Bugzilla Query TWiki plugin to get an in
line display of the current project list. This will then be our
sole method of managing projects that would be good entry points for
people new to one of the projects.
If that proposal is acceptable, someone from each of the desktop and
server teams needs to look at the existing set of projects and
determine what is still valid, and add any other projects which are
not captured as bugs. I will do this for the server team, but I
need some from the desktop team to look at the desktop side.
