demo site could go to opensourcecms or what was it called. In any case we should have a prominent link to oscms.
Note that Drupal's project page on drupal.org has a "demo link" that points to the demo at opensourcecms.com. In other words, there is a demo, although it might not be very visible.
Now you see how visible it is. ;)
The project.module isn't bad at doing what it was designed for. Quite the contrary. Buit since Drupal grows at a rather steep rate we need to improve it.
The project module has been making progress, and still is. The past three months I added (i) CVS integration, (ii) compilation of a per project developer lists and (iii) automated code reviews/reports.
While I think that all three improvements are interesting and usefull additions (i especially like iii) they IMHO didn't address immediate needs.
Furthermore, we have nedjo's patch waiting to be tested and it looks like Steven and Ber began investigating some of the imminent usability issues. At the same time, we encourage people to make the project module more generic.
Ah, is this the official position now? Good to know.
What is more of a motivation - saying that we're using something of inferior quality and hoping that the pain of using it will encourage developers to meet the challenge?
I can't speak for others but I'd rather spend my time improving the project module than writing conversion scripts or maintaining a separate project site.
Goes without question.
stupid, but if I wasn't convinced I/we could make a better a product than PHP-Nuke, ThatWare, Scoop or Slash, we wouldn't be working on Drupal to begin with. Sometimes it takes some persistence.
Yeah. How about my revisions patch? Apply it. Right Now(tm).
- Would it make sense to use actions/workflow.module for it? - Why does it need to have its own comment stuff? Probably in order to have the extended form that we use. This could be a reason to apply the commentapi patch to Drupal and go from there to removing the extra comment handling in project module. - Remove hardcoded status codes. - Introduce better mailed issues. Issues should be mailed similar to how mailman mails digests.
Great start! :-)
I am glad you like the ideas, but could you indicate which you _really_ like? I created feature requests for the ones that aren't there yet. http://drupal.org/node/21272 http://drupal.org/node/13539 http://drupal.org/node/17052 http://drupal.org/node/21273 Cheers, Gerhard
