Hello all,<br>
<br>
I think the main question is concerning the upgrade of plone. Shall
we upgrade or not?<br>
If we want to upgrade the website, many modifications will be made
another way (css, footer, ...) and really simpler, so I'm not sure
they are useful to work on now.<br>
But as we have discussed before the upgrade is a complex process,
and Iohannes has to be involved for a few key operations.<br>
<br>
here is a copy of one of my mail of last november, that is still
pertinent:<br>
--<br>
1 - installing a new hidden plone.
<br>
2 - thinking the architecture of the new site
<br>
3 - filling the architecture with the "old" content
<br>
4 - graphical design of the new site
<br>
5 - filling the website with member contents
<br>
6 - checking and switching to the new version.
<br>
<br>
A proposal on how we should do that:
<br>
step 1 : handled by Iohannes/Andras?
<br>
step 2 : discussion on this list
<br>
step 3 : handled by section responsables (if we agree on this kind
of organisation)
<br>
step 4 : discussion on this list and marco's implementation.
<br>
step 5 : maybe we can send a mail to every member of the actual site
to have them move their own content?
<br>
step 6 : pdweb-list and maybe pd-list help.
<br>
<br>
I think it's no problem if we have all this switching lasting a few
months. The longest step for me is step 5, and I think it's really
better if we let a long time to people to switch their content.
<br>
An intermediate part of the website between members and architecture
is the community section, where it is good to have people create
their own page for patching circles and others. I am ok to write a
little tutorial to achieve an homogen creation of specific pages,
and to write individual mails to each local groups member.
<br>

<br>
I think it's a very important point to upgrade plone, for now and
future years...<br>
best,<br>
