I thought is was about time to share some of the progress that the Drupal website development team is making on the implementation of the development site for libreoffice.org that will be implemented within 6 months.
The collaboration through the wiki has grown immensely, with the vast majority of the development being discussed and documented here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Drupal The LibreOffice Drupal development site can be found here: www.libreofficeaustralia.org Key to the long term success of the Drupal site and linked to it, the health and size of the LibreOffice community, is the underlying structure. I thought that I might share some of it here. (-) Basic information about LibreOffice and each application is easily accessible and understandable (-) All languages will have the same content, some of which will be automatically translated so collaboration can occur across languages. (Forums, News, Extensions, Templates) (-) Official Documentation and proposed documentation sections are functional, just need some prettying up and filling with documents. http://www.libreofficeaustralia.org/support/documentation (-) Template Library is fully functional - try it out and upload a test template http://www.libreofficeaustralia.org/download/templates (-) Forums are fully functional but not yet linked with any mailing list system http://www.libreofficeaustralia.org/forums/community (-) Twitter Feed has been setup under Support - Social Media, Need FB and others. (-) Community team pages are being setup now. ie website, marketing, documentation, artwork (-) Theme concepts are coming along nicely, but we still require some experts here. (-) You can already submit artwork ideas http://www.libreofficeaustralia.org/community/contribute/artwork Areas we plan to tackle next (-) Translations and internationalisation (-) Regional groups setup (-) Extensions directory (-) 'Features of LibreOffice' pages (-) Social Media integration (-) Consulting with the development group regarding idea tracking and bug reporting - already started (-) Setup a blogroll for the LibreOffice Planet. If you think you can help with any of this, please contact carlos, marc or ben, nino or myself directly. Also, I think it is about time that we approach the Steering Committee with the progress we have made and suggest a "Drupal on LibreOffice.org" launch date in early January. The progress on the site is astounding and I think that early January is achievable for a fully functional production quality site. Note: Development is happening on the English site, internationalisation will occur after the English site is operational. If you try to change the language you will likely get a 404 error due to nothing being translated yet. - First things first. Getting the structure right, then the content. Again, Thanks to everyone who has done such an amazing job so far. Let's keep up the great work.
