Robin: I agree that would be an excellent start, Robin. One of the most useful first tasks is to brainstorm what we need/want the site to do and shout our favorite modules that provide the tasks. This conversation started with how we could schlep Docbook around but supporting a community definitely has other components to it as we know.
Again, as soon as I got "official" approval to roll up my sleeves and break ground on a Drupal site, they backed the manure truck up to my cube and pulled the lever I put on my task list re-reading the current wiki and starting a page for initial planning. Roma: I am also not convinced that Drupal is the best document management system. If anything, it would offer an interface to sometime more robust. I'll jot Twiki down as a possiblility for the Documents section. SVN, CVS or Bizaar are much better choices for managing code revisions than Drupal would be as well, but we still want to provide download links to the latest releases of the actual code as well. Drupal is not going to solve all problems all by it's self and shouldn't be asked to.

There are lots of great (and not so great) modules in Drupal... and of course, I have my favorites, too. I can look at EG-ils.org with an eye towards Drupalizing, and see which modules might work best... at least it would be a start. ;-) Robin On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 2:29 PM, Karen Schneider <[email protected]> wrote: > Has anyone else had any further thoughts along the DocBook/Drupal or > Drupalized EG-ils.org lines?

Let us know what we can do to help... Paul Weiss and I are talking later today. I too need to wrap my head around style manuals and whatnot! -- -- | Karen G.
