Yoper Devs,
First and foremost. I like the Yoperstuff page. I think it'd be a nice spot for developer blogs, etc. It brings to mind many ideas though: -----Original Message----- From: mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 2:02 PM To: yoper-dev - open minded discussion Subject: Re: [yoper-dev] Yoperstuff.com is ready for your usage On Wednesday 17 May 2006 17:53, Chakkaradeep C C wrote: > Hi all, > > On 5/13/06, Chakkaradeep C C <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Walter, > > > > On 5/12/06, Walter Hieber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I have brought back the tabled Yoperstuff.com site to serve as a news > > > site > > > for Yoper Linux.

Personally, I'd like to incorporate this into the main Yoper website. The design we have going now is currently not serving our needs, and it needs to be moved over to a CMS of some sort so that it can grow nicely, and so that it can provide very active content to readers. I have been busy this school year. It will be over in a day :) So I'm sorry for the lack of work done on the main site, but I have been silently evaluating CMS systems. Two which I like: Drupal 4.7 -- php_template is very nice and with enough skilled workers behind it, we could have a very unique customer php theme to our site. So despite the fact that it's powered by Drupal, it won't look like every other Drupal page out there. I have not done adequate research into seeing how well our forums and bugtracker can be encapsulated into the design. Joomla -- As you can see from Walter's site, it can be themed nicely to suit our needs. I haven't looked into how well our forums or bugtracker could be encapsulated into this either. I think that a CMS is essential though. It provides easy RSS, Drupal has great album plugins that we could use for screenshots, existing information can be moved and expanded on like we want. I'd like to see things like a static-content install guide on the main Yoper page, not "hidden" (people often don't look to far) in the wiki. > > > > > > Walter > > > > > > www.yoperstuff.com > > > > The www.yoperstuff.com looks kewl.

Once moved to CMS I think we'll all be much happier with the website serving our needs. All those interested in helping out please email me... I'd like to start a team on this one. Other feedback is encouraged as well :) Soon I'll be back and ready for action! Finals are over tomorrow! --Reid Miller (oreo_masta) _______________________________________________ yoper-dev mailing list [email protected] https://morpheus.pingos.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/yoper-dev
