I'd really like to have an instant notification if a port is not maintained anymore; as far as I can see, this is only done by the "not modified in 20 days" check, which again is rather dangerous for ports which hardly ever change (even though aterm has a beta out, and blackbox an RC ;-)).
Just an idea: what about looking at the REPO file instead? Either at the REPO timestamp or at a var inside that file (maybe auto-generated by httpup?). That would 'gently invite' the contributors to update the repo (say once a month), even if by simply adjusting the 'lastgenerated' var, just to tell us the repo is still maintained as a whole. Oh, and since we're on topic, a sort of blocking mechanism by CLC maintainers could be useful to disable a port/repo that does stupid or nasty things as quick as possible.
The next most pressing issue I think would have to be merging the CLC portal and CRUX website, altho I don't see it on the list it was something we talked at length about at CruxCon. I don't want to start rambling off ideas without knowing what other people are thinking of doing, but we need a plan ;)
Yeah, and some commitment I guess. I've heard people complaining about the CLC wiki in #crux... I guess if we build up a new page, we should really try to make those people help us to build up the new wiki, since there really is some interest.
I'd like to help with the website design / coding, but some technical question has to be discussed before starting anything: - where will the site be hosted? - what kind of services are available (db, language, webserver...) - what level of integration between cvstrac / wiki / website do we plan to have? (ie, an independent wiki integrated with the website would probably be more user-friendly than the cvstrac one) Personally I'm quite busy with my last exams at the moment (until feb 24), a slightly more detailed timeline would be of great help at this point. Per, is it possible to plan / postpone the 2.1 release to a more or less defined date? Regards, Simone -- Simone Rota WEB : http://www.varlock.com Bergamo, Italy MAIL: sip@varlock.com
