There wasn't enough access, or interest in that particular +incarnation of those earlier prototyped concepts, or + +2.) We haven't stumbled across the formula with the right zeal and +appeal that we're all looking for. + +Yes I think we may want to take a look at those all but abandoned +vehicles, but also think that we shouldn't try to force the mold. These +parts of our infrastructure were launched way back before Before Beta 1 +IIRC, and if their relative failure is a result of #2 above, then we may +want to keep looking for something that appeals more to ???? + +For example, our original forums were based on FudForum, software I +particularly like for some projects, and not for others. They were +basically buried within a free hosting solution, which wasn't +acceptable, but no attempts were made to migrate any of the discussions +to the current forums, and no links were provided when we finally did +settle on the forumware we are using now. + +I would like to avoid beginning to move forward with real and exciting +content, forced into a software solution that will simply prove once +more, that it is for whatever reason unsuitable for our purposes. I'm +not saying that what we already have is unsuitable, just that we need to +think, and brainstorm, and sandbox without restriction until we all go, +"Hey that's pretty bitchen! Let's use that". + +I don't get the whole "Planet" thing. never did. But really, anything +ewboontoo leaves a bad taste in my mouth anyway, and we're really trying +to set ourselves apart from others anyway. + +in an earlier post, (and I think this was you Romain, who pointed it +out), there needs to be some style applied to planet.mageia.org. This is +going to require the coordination of MarCom w/the web development team +along with the artwork team in order to accomplish, and there's really +no point in even pursuing that until Trish is provided with the +credentials so that she can delegate administration of this resource to +members of the team here. + +It is pretty bland, and ugly, compared to the news and blog sites of +other distros - even when compared to the minimalist approach used by +debian GNU/Linux. + +Let's get these credentials to Trish, stop this nonsense with the +infinite transferring of extension to extension, and get on with it. + +In the meantime, if we add content to the forward face of Mageia, let's +make sure we can abandon the software at anytime and fold that content +into software that in the future we may find more conducive to our needs. + +It was a fiasco, because there was no response, little direction, and +ambiguous command and control related to the administration of this +so-called *existing* infrastructure. The initiative that Josh and +Sebastian showed in this was, albeit politely, shot down because we +currently have an existing, yet perhaps inferior software service in +place, for some of what we're talking about. + +Like Josh indicated, an SQL dump of the MariaDB database and a push from +whatever RCS he used to deploy his POC beta is simple enough to migrate +to a VirtualHost container under Mageia.org's HTTPD farm. + +heh. We do incorporate *MariaDB* INSTEAD of *MySQL*, don't we? LOL! Or +are we using EllisonCo software, missing yet another opportunity to set +ourselves apart from other Linux distros? ;) + +Kindest regards, + + +- -- +Bradley D.
