Does someone have successful examples of such efforts, we could borrow their infrastructure/web-engine/etc. ? I think web portal should have low borders for regular users(individuals) and shouldn't be tied to development resources(at the end we can have just links to track/git/etc). Of course we already have sufficient resources like wiki/launchpad/track but they either too common or too unpredictable for non-developers. For example why we decided to use ASLO instead of using plain ftp or wiki pages ala laptop.org. > > On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 05:26:49PM +0100, Tomeu Vizoso wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > > > as you may know (specially if you have read my last blog posts) these > > > days I'm quite happy at how big users of Sugar such as OLPC > > > deployments and also OLPC itself are starting to do their Sugar work > > > inside the Sugar Labs community, instead of doing it on their own and > > > keeping the results for themselves. > > > > > > While I think this is a big step forward towards sustainability of > > > Sugar development, I'm still concerned about the not-so-long-term > > > future because there's a good amount of work that needs to be done so > > > that new Sugar releases are made with consistent quality and that work > > > is being done by volunteers, funding it with their savings.
