I'd like Gna! to publish each month a short article about a project
hosted at Gna! like what sourceforge.net does.
I'm not sure the wording "project of the month" is okey for us as it
is not sure that we will publish such article each month. Please
propose something better.
I like the idea too, Gna! would be a more 'live' place. Currently we only
have boring (and shameful brokage :)) news item... You could just call the
column 'Highlight' or 'Hotspot' without specifying 'monthly'.
Such article would contain:
- a short description of the project
- a short mail/irc interview with one of the project leader
OK. I propose that we elect 3 projects in a preferred order, create a
task, and proceed to contact the first project manager. Then if we can't
contact him (say in 3 days), we try the next one. The interview could be on
[email protected] (or another dedicated ML ?). If it's IRC, it would be nice
it the unedited log was posted to an archived ML.
For the first article of this serie, I'm considering:
- Adeos
- Arkhart RPG Engine
- Haver Ain't Very Exciting, Really
- Livret du Libre (french only, but it could be a good example
for other countries)
- Underware
I could be partial because of the last one :). I don't have a lot of
visibility on Gna! projects, so I'm OK for this first draw. You could add
'Slune'. I guess we'll need to have some statistic tools to spot the busy
projects.
I'd like some input, some help and a better name for the article serie
(not explicitely referring to a monthly basis). Please, especially
Vincent, tell me what you think of this list, which project could be
added to this list, which project should come first.
'Hotspot', 'Gninterview', er... ? BWT, it would be nice to have a 'news
icon' feature a la /., this way the interviews would clearly stick out from
the other boring news.
I'd like to come up with a first article this month. We could contact
several project at once and publish and article for this first one
responding.
I'd prefer we contact them in order, otherwise we'll have some trouble to
manage multiple answers (who comes first ? why my interview was not
published, and this other was ? etc).
