A more complete description of some ideas I'm planning to work on is posted here : http://murrayfreebsd.blogspot.com/2008/04/thoughts-on-wwwfreebsdorg-2-of-2.html If anyone is interested in helping to implement any of these ideas please let me know. Some of the concrete things I'd like to see in the near future include : * Better integration with CVSWeb, P4Web, ohlone.net, and cia.vc. A number of sites offering third party open source metrics have become available in recent years such as ohloh.net and cia.vc. We should ensure that our content is available on those sites and better utilize some of the features they provide. For example, customizable RSS feeds of code changes in specific subtrees should be made available, perhaps even only those changes that match complex search queries. Dynamic lists of the most active developers, or the parts of the source tree that are changing most rapidly could be displayed. * Better utilization of our own structured data. We have geographic information about usergroups and events, and so it is natural to display the information to the user as a map rather than an extremely long list on one giant HTML page. It would be even better if this could be displayed as an image map or with javascript popups or integrated to one of the large online maps services. * Enabling comments and feedback on items posted to the site. Readers of the site should have the opportunity to comment on newsflash entries and vote on development project ideas/priorities. Requiring updaters of the site to manually edit news.xml may not be the best way to handle this. Perhaps some kind of blogging software could be used which is then scraped into a static newsflash.html file while providing links back to the official blog to facilitate user comments. * Integrate with other web sites. Since we have structured data representing events and other content on the site, we could construct links to videos or photos tagged as 'freebsd' on Flickr or YouTube during the days of each conference. There is no excuse for the technical content from any recent BSD conference not ending up there. Likewise, we should automatically update public Google/Yahoo calendars, and allow anyone visiting the site to instantly add an event to the calendar software of their choice. I've written a prototype web application to replace the Ideas database (ideas.xml) at http://apps.stokely.org/ideas. This application allows users to add new development project ideas, to comment or vote on existing ideas, to search the database, and to subscribe to RSS feeds of a specific search or the comments and activity on a specific idea. - Murray From owner-freebsd-www@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Apr 27 11:39:07 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-www@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4DBC4106564A for ; Sun, 27 Apr 2008 11:39:07 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from danger@FreeBSD.org) Received: from mailhub.rulez.sk (mailhub.rulez.sk [IPv6:2001:15c0:6672::2]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F23748FC17 for ; Sun, 27 Apr 2008 11:39:06 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from danger@FreeBSD.org) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mailhub.rulez.sk (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4391D5C027; Sun, 27 Apr 2008 13:39:06 +0200 (CEST) X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at rulez.sk Received: from mailhub.rulez.sk ([78.47.53.106]) by localhost (genesis.rulez.sk [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id R7C9gIIMDA-C; Sun, 27 Apr 2008 13:39:05 +0200 (CEST) Received: from DANGER-PC (danger.mcrn.sk [84.16.37.254]) (using TLSv1 with cipher AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (No client certificate requested) (Authenticated sender: danger@rulez.sk) by mailhub.rulez.sk (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id A15CB5C020; Sun, 27 Apr 2008 13:39:05 +0200 (CEST) Date: Sun, 27 Apr 2008 13:38:55 +0200 From: Daniel Gerzo X-Mailer: The Bat!

This can be handled by our forum. It's already set up and possible to use. For each news item is being created a new topic so that users can talk about it. However I am not sure how far we are from launching it publicly. It is now mostly stalled because the forum rules are not documented and nobody took care about this stuff yet. Maybe Joel will be able to post a status about this in more detail as he volunteered to handle it :-) -- Best regards, Daniel mailto:danger@FreeBSD.org From owner-freebsd-www@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Apr 28 11:07:13 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-www@FreeBSD.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 31D3B1065686 for ; Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:07:13 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::28]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 272318FC24 for ; Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:07:13 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.14.2/8.14.2) with ESMTP id m3SB7CE0056314 for ; Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:07:12 GMT (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org) Received: (from gnats@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.14.2/8.14.1/Submit) id m3SB7C8l056310 for freebsd-www@FreeBSD.org; Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:07:12 GMT (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org) Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:07:12 GMT Message-Id: <200804281107.m3SB7C8l056310@freefall.freebsd.org> X-Authentication-Warning: freefall.freebsd.org: gnats set sender to owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org using -f From: FreeBSD bugmaster To: freebsd-www@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Current problem reports assigned to freebsd-www@FreeBSD.org X-BeenThere: freebsd-www@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: FreeBSD Project Webmasters List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:07:13 -0000 Current FreeBSD problem reports Critical problems Serious problems S Tracker Resp.
