[Protux-devel] Mustux.Org

[Fabio dos Santos]

Hey guys,

I'm temporarily back until next week, when I'll be in Rio de Janeiro --
so wish me warm weather! :-D. Anyway, I'd like to put two issues on the
table.  

Apparently the issue about mustux.org and protux.org is a consensus. We
should do it as soon as possible (ASAP). However, I did not become clear
exactly what was to happen. So IMHO, there are two available options at
the moment.

         Option 1: To keep the sites where they are at the moment:
protux's page on savannah, and protux's fori on Remon's servers) and
then just redirect the page from one to the other by means of
registering the domain and redirect the page.

         Option 2: Find us a server somewhere, (bought or rented).
Create Mustux.org  -- So mustuxlib will have its own page -- and also
put protux's page and protux's fori on this server. The advantage to
this is that we will no longer have to administer two computers. 

I'm in favor of the second option because it releaves Remon's computer
of a lot of workload (that is, if we expect a lot of people to start
frequenting the forum, which is quite possible -- and I hope will
happen!).

The second issue I'd like to put on the table is related to
administration of this page. I have always thought that we could make
Protux page much similar to what is Footnotes
(http://www.gnomedesktop.org) at the moment -- this would make protux's
page more dynamic. The problem as it stands is that the page changes
very little, and thus, people are not encouraged to visit. Using a web
administration program would allow us to change protux's page without
actually editing HTML code, making updating a lot easier, and much
faster, leaving us a lot more time to make the protux and libmustux
"rock really hard." 

Also, I believe it would be possible for us to make integration between
PHPbb and the web administration program as to have the most important
issues always on the front page. This attracts attention, and this could
be very interesting for us at the point in development which protux
stands. It signalizes work, and that, I believe, attracts interested
developers and testers.

RFC. 
Fabio.
