It has a cost (flexibility and work), sure, but it +has a payback too. + +Look here: <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=web#list_of_registered_people">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=web#list_of_registered_people</A> + +There's a huge pool of skills in PHP, Ruby and Django, comparatively +to Perl (that is quoted only once). + +It's not by sticking to a single stack mostly only handled by +sysadmins (Catalyst in this case) that we will achieve that delegation +and growth. I'm not saying it's crap, I'm saying it does not fit the +pool of volunteers we have for contributions in web development. + +That's precisely why I suggested that other stacks may be considered +(Rails, Django, Symfony) for maintainers db.

And +that forces developers, sometimes, to migrate their apps to higher +revisions. + +But it's not the same context as here. Still, and this is why I asked +Kosmas to see with packagers, it would help somehow to find a +solution, if sustainable, to get packages a little bit more up to +date. In this regard, it helps maintainers to have feedback from +developers I guess. + + +Romain +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000138.html">[Mageia-webteam] Initial hosting requirements for maintainers db +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000140.html">[Mageia-webteam] Initial hosting requirements for maintainers db +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#139">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#139">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#139">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#139">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-webteam">More information about the Mageia-webteam +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
