Hi all,
Some time ago we discussed [1] a proposal
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2
about changing the way our community website (
www.xwiki.org) looks like
(improved homepage, improved navigation, new logo [2], new skin, community
wiki [3], etc.).
Since then there have been some small collaborative efforts to make this new
site come true and I want to thank for their help to Sergiu Dumitriu, Marta
Girdea, Jean-Vincent Drean, Raluca Stavro, Vincent Massol, Silvia Rusu,
Raluca Moisa, Stefan Orzu and all the people that gave feedback.
In order to speed up the process we also created a development wiki
http://newxwiki.xwiki.org/
where you can log in with your
xwiki.org credentials and work on the
improvements you want to make. After the work is finished it will be ported
to
xwiki.org. This way you can experiment the way your code looks like and
behaves without interfering with the live site.
Also me and Silvia created a planning for the development of the new site
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgPlanning
and we have split it into 4 stages. We are currently in Stage 1 of the
development.
Each entry has it own link with more information/mockups/code about the
feature. Also features that have been started have also a JIRA issue
attached to them.
We would be very happy if the community could get involved in helping us
making this happen. We still need work on deciding the content for some
sections, we need better design proposals for some elements and we need lots
of implementation work to make everything a reality.
If you want to participate you should pick something from the planning and
announce it on this thread so that we know what feature is taking care of.
Thank you,
Caty
