This is a quite simple and basic idea i had today. Some of you may have noticed that when oss developers are releasing it they have to put in a lot of time to design a proper website for it. So if we could have a bunch of php scripts together that would do the following things(more if you have suggestions):
Did you recently see Avsap's homepage? KG is using Plone for it. http://www.avsap.org.in/
in fact, for avsap i'm trying to do something on these lines - a lot of ppl interested in the development are non-techies who feel uneasy using CVS or subversion, so i'm trying to use easier tools like wiki's to help them contribute painlessly. It is still in the begining stages, but in a month or so, the main devel will still take place in the cvs/subversion repository, but *all* development will be reflected on the website so contributors can decide which medium they use to contribute. It means more work initially, but less work eventually especially when the translation to local languages start where anyone can translate bits and pieces and see the results almost in real-time on the demo.
We have plans to develop something like this, and we began developing one already. I found it very difficult to get people trained in cvs, so we do need an alternative project devt concept particularly when more and more developers are coming forward to contribute. It is good that new developers begin to contribute initially through some painless process, and slowly we can orient them to hackerdom.
Anurag, why dont you add project management stuff on our site, on top of gnowsys, and if necessary take some help from other people in the list and make it. Since you know gnowsys and can also use savane, you will be the best one to demonstrate this.
please see two of the websites, www.gnoware.org, and www.gnowledge.org/gnowsys both sites are still under development. These sites are already in template form, creating one more site is very easy.
