Hi all, One of the problems we currently have is that we find the barrier of maintaining our site a little bit high. We can do the whole maven trick and all, but just like the WIKI works out well because of the low barrier, I expect our site to be better maintained if the barrier would be lower. We have talked about installing a CMS somewhere for Wicket, and it seems most involved people think this is a good idea to have that.
On my personal wish list that CMS should have: - A blog; we could use for our news/ main page. - Sections; we use that for vision/ FAQ etc. - Support for multiple users. Last but not least: someone that wants to maintain the installation. The first few points should be easy. I don't know much about CMSs but imo something straightforward/ simple would be best. http://wordpress.org/ looks convincing to me, though it might be too blogging specific? The last point: we had some people on ##wicket that said they might be interested in helping out with this. That's cool! Please join this dicussion :) Next step(s): * If core devs DO NOT agree, please voice that here. * Who wants to help out? * What is good software that is not too bloated yet is powerful enough for our use (largely up to the people that want to help out of course)? * Some people want this to be an all-in-one solution (with a WIKI and maybe even bugtracker etc?). I'm not in favor of this as I prefer tools that are just good in their own thing, and rather combine a few different tools instead of having one that does everything but is not great at each seperate part. If you feel different about that, speak up and tell us what you think should be included. * What is a good hosting option? I wouldn't mind paying a little bit for it, but preferably we'd let us sponsor somewhere. It would be very nice if the people that are interested in helping out with the site, can also select the hosting party, so that we have everything in the same place, but that's not a requirement of course. * We'd like to give Wicket a revamp in the process. The current site doesn't look bad, and we got possitve remarks about it, but I think we can do an even better job. Anyone up to this? Any people with designer skills in de house? My ideal is something like the RoR site. I think that's a good site with attrictive, readable content and my hunch is that it helped RoR a lot with their hype factor. Even in software image is important. Your thoughts?
