complexity is a matter of point of view. Aside from that there really needs to be more powerfull web features for storing, maintaining, searching over the domain of knoweldge related to openafs. It may actually help the gatekeepers of this list if the web interfaces were more useable not only for those searching for answers but those wanting to document openafs issues. If you are completely against a content management system the game is over. If you can see the benefit of a cms, then the game begins as you identify the features needed. >From what has been posted already on this subject, perhaps we can identify what is 'needed' in a cms. Then, we can find the cms that would work for the group. I would like to see a more easily used system for searching and documenting issues wrt openafs. The openafs.org web site is almost useless. The wiki is almost useless (to me, granted I haven't explored it much). The goal of the cms should be to allow more pariticipation in the documentation process. I don't think you will find many volunteers if they are forced in to using html editors and manually linking information. > > What we _are_ looking for is volunteers to help maintain the content. > > -- Jeffrey T.
