Those are the things we need to do in >the short term if you can contribute. > > Nope, I'm sure it's my fault, but I don't know where that is, and if it's in cvs, how to get at it. Alexey posted a tarball of his source, but after my last contribution via email to the current Lucaz design went completely unnoticed and didnt even receive a no-thanks, we'd rather keep it the way it is, I'm a bit out of the loop on what it takes to actually get something done. Add to that lack of documention to coding standards, and Alexey's clear stance on such things, and not wanted to step on Alexey's toes to get it anything done.... well here I am. >I realise I'm probably one of the people you accuse of being rude and >shooting down ideas (and if I have been rude to anyone, please excuse me > > To be honest, I can only come up with a few people off hand and you werent one of them Dave ;).

I can only state that in the past I've seen many offers to help, and if it's not in line with "Finish Alexey's code" it's shot down *right away*. There are many ways for people to do things, and for example, when the tinysofa ppl came up with a new design, the "official" response was basicly for them to get lost. Too little too late. Unless something is overly complex and wrong with Alexey's code, applying a different theme should be fairly easy and could take less than a day. >As one of the oldest -www members, I have tried to lead as much as I >can, and each time I try to focus people on getting the job done, I get >flamed for not listening to different ideas about tasks we have already >discussed or even done. > I've been on here a while, and I notice the flame wars. I try not to stir them up. Without a clear person in charge, it's collective group think, and in collective group think people will always disagree and stuff won't get done en masse. >So, here's the current plan again: > >1) Finish the new website, specifically the items on the todo list. >2) Make the new website live. >3a) Merge in the advocacy and developer websites. >3b) Review/update/sanitise all content. > > Point me to the todo list and put up with my questions about how to get stuff put in approved, working, etc and hopefully I can contribute. Ultimately I would prefer to see the tinysofa design instead of Lucaz's, sorry Lucaz... >In addition to which, I've have suggested to a number of volunteers that >a good standalone project would be a good replacement CMS for techdocs. > > That would be nice, I know of one that works really well ;-) Gavin
