comments on tims post!
- +1 for moving wiki into redmin if Otto is agreeable
definitely +1 from me .. spreading it all into different pages while the infrastructure is already there and could be held on one place is not very good (otherwise - single point of failure - but i think thats not that important for us). and of course there will be another move then (svn->git, trac->redmine and now wiki->redmine) I already had some talks with people that do not follow qgis week by week that they are a bit confused now where to search for information.. And I should also blame myself having some people asking for a new translation language (estonian) and asking if they are correct in using SVN ... no wiki page update - or at least there are 3 places to find that info .. So I highly recommend also a consolidation of the Wiki pages and not only a move ..
- Regarding joomla logins - we dont really encourage community logins / commenting on posts etc on the joomla site so I would not worry about spending time on it (for ldap integration I mean). Ultimately I would like to discard joomla and use our Django infrastructure to do the content management. Then we would really only be managing two web infrastructures: redmine and django. But that is something for the future.
Yeah - allthough I like joomla I feel it's a bit displaced now and I myself would have made the suggestion to "redesign" and move the webpage to a better place .. and like tim said - as we already have django - why not moving it to django (I would like to be a programmer on that place, anyone willing to teach? ;) )
- Regarding the forums I would alos like to get rid of it but have also come across people in Real Life who have found them (and Anita, forum Queen :-) ) to be extremely helpful in getting started. I would suggest to make the forums read only with a big banner asking them to post to stack exchange rather as an interum solution. Also the fine folks from the Russian FOSSGIS community (Maxim et al) have offered to maintain the forums for us if needed.
As I know that there is always the problem with a lot of forum spam I also agree to make it read only and shut it down (within a year or so) suggestion with banner +1 - I think people will feel well moving to stack exchange .. It's just a pity that we probably will loose all the already answered questions in our forum.
I think Anita is the one who will decide as she puts most of her time into the forum..
