Hi group,
Last week I created a new site http://epfwiki.net
with the Wiki technology that was donated by LogicaCMG and that is currently
under Eclipse Legal Review. The trigger for creating this site is the
translation effort, but of course it can also host regular weekly builds of
published sites that can be downloaded from http://www.eclipse.org/epf.
I like to consider this site an unofficial EPF community site, sponsored by
LogicaCMG, created using software that will eventually be EPF software, after a
positive Eclipse Legal Review.
There is also a demo site http://demo.epfwiki.net
with a demo account demo@xxxxxxxxxxx with
password demo where you can try out
this technology.
An interesting was raised by Ricardo while we were
discussing use of it for the translation effort: how Wikis can be accepted as a
means of contributing as expected by the Eclipse organization. Of course this
is an unofficial site but it would be nice if contributions made there would
also be recognized by the Eclipse organization, similar to Bugzilla and the
official discussions lists.
I think there are a number of approaches to this interesting
issue. I like to present what I think is a pragmatic approach: send every Wiki
contribution to the epf-dev mailing list. We could do this real-time or send a
daily, weekly or even monthly report. Do you think this is a viable option,
good approach? If we think it is, I like to ask the committers to make a
decision on it and maybe put it to a vote?
Best Regards,
Onno
