I have been thinking about this as part of the structural design of the new web site. I envision a global mailing list for the entire open graphics project. General "meta" issues and new product/project ideas would be discussed there. Then when an idea gets to the point where it will actually get done, a new sub-project is created. The sub project will have a separate mailing list (or maybe more than one, depends on the organisation a bit) where technical discussion on that project takes place. User support would mainly go through a forum/issue tracker on the web site; that lowers the barrier for less technically inclined users. Something like that at least. Incidentally, I haven't looked at the wiki for a while, but I have been reading the list, and I must say I don't feel very well informed about the project. My lack of experience in hardware probably helps with that, but I also think we need that web site to get all the information together in a single, easy to access place. I'm currently tinkering with Drupal, which is quite nice. I've looked at Trac for project management, but decided that it wouldn't be a good idea. Drupal is written in PHP, Trac in Python, and Trac relies on ClearSilver which is a C/CGI template engine. Integrating that...well let's say I'd rather see what I can add to Drupal to get it to do project management. It already has modules for issue tracking, forums and collaborative writing of books (documentation!). I haven't looked into the module API in detail yet, but the architecture seems nice enough. I've also polished the open window logo a bit more: http://nova.student.utwente.nl/~lourens/gfx/opengraphics/ogp_logo_1_fullcolour.png That's a rather large version, move away from your monitor a little for the full effect. Oh, and you can watch me tinker at http://nova.student.utwente.nl/opengraphics/ Lourens
