[phoenix-dev] Database-driven content on www.eclipse.org
|
Committers,
Nathan, Wayne and I had a brief conversation yesterday about data-driven
pages on www.eclipse.org. When writing such pages, we agreed that it's
our own responsibility to write web/gui tools to manage the database
content, and to restrict (or not) such tools to the appropriate
audience. We also agreed that to use MySQL tools to manage live SQL data
(such as PHPMyAdmin) involves risk, and we won't do that.
The best place for these tools is in Committer Tools
(https://dev.eclipse.org/committers/), as that location is already set
up to handle Committer authentication, database access and LDAP
querying. For instance, to manage the Resources pages, Wayne
could/should write some PHP-based forms that only allow Phoenix
committers to update the Resources data. To do this, I have opened
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=164125 to request I extend
the LDAP api on Committer Tools.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
