[xwiki-users] [Community] XWiki.org Redesign Planning and call for participation

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.
