Um... James is offering to pay/donate 'money'. Maybe the AUD isn't attractive to anyone... Perhaps it would help to know approximately how much...
As you know, with Open Source it is just about priorities. I'm just a bit tied up with paying clients at the moment, and they of course take precedence over any generic Midgard work.
Too true. It's not for the light hearted.All kinds of modules, libraries and applications are out there, but it takes quite much knowledge and work to bundle them together into a working website.
Midgard could and should be more useful out of the box.+1
+1We should gather together a real "sample site", maybe built on MidCOM, that would combine many of these modules in a sensible way.
Yep. All the things James mentioned. Nuke on Midgard. Polls, Forms, Mail a Friend, etc. It only takes a quick search with google to turn up the PHP for this kind of thing. Understanding how it should mesh with Midgard requires inside help.In essence, the sample site should be a production-ready website/portal/intranet, where you just need to add your logo (or layout), and write the real content.
+1I think it wouldn't even require much effort, and would make Midgard a much better alternative to all those who want to get something working quickly instead of developing a big project from ground up.
Who would be interested in helping me with this process?Absolutely. Show me the way and I'll do anything I can but as you know I'm still a little wet behind the ears :D.
But where does this leave Aegir? Are you talking about an Aegir plug and play sample site or a generic Midgard site? To what extent can one be used with the others?We should actually develop this "sample site" using CVS and rest of regular Midgard app development methodologies, so it would also get maintained (unlike all the current example stuff)...
Where does Aegir currentl fit into the Midgard development program. I hear it's the best interface for newbies to date but it still not 100% in itself.
