Hi Silvia,
Good start!
However I feel it's a bit too "corporate".
For ex:
* We don't have newsletter on xwiki.org. Would be complex to do, maintain, etc
I think that in the format the Silvia proposed in her other email, a
newsletter would be good. Personally I don't like that monitoring an
open source project usually involves two far-apart levels of granularity:
- monitoring the mailing list(s)
- coming from time to time to check if something happened
Given that we don't have an announcements(a)xwiki.org list, a monthly
newsletter is a great way of keeping users in touch, without making them
monitor the mailing list.
One thing we do better than most other projects is that we have a blog,
but IMO it is still not enough.
* Events is too corporate too since it's not about
xwiki.org but about the company doing it.
No, I disagree. Of course we shouldn't promote events where XWiki SAS as
a company is clearly involved, but events that interest all our users.
Do you want to say that our presence at the Paris JUG or Nantes JUG were
not interesting for XWiki users, or actually any software user?
* I'm not sure about twitter either. Who would be
allowed to tweet? I'd prefer a news.xwiki.org done using XWatch (if we think we can
maintain it).
I don't like our current @XWiki Twitter account, so I'd be -1 for
promoting it. Another (English) account which would just mirror blog
posts would be good, though.
Also, I'd prefer that we focus on the community.
This is a community web site, done by the community, for the community so we should
highlight new code snippets, new macros, new extensions, updated documentation pages, etc.
I made a proposal for this for the redesign of the xwiki.org home page some time back.
Have you seen it?
+1, but we're seeing the proposed features from different angles. I
think they match this perspective.
Thanks
-Vincent
