[haiku-web] Re: Trac (reevaluated)

Sorry for the rant. Maybe I am missing something, but in spite of Haiku
being an open source project, I find it to be closed in the sense that
it does not seem to be organized to funnel the motivation of potential
contributors into tangible contributions.

If you really want to grow the community, I think that fixing that
aspect of the organization is much more important for its success than
which CMS packaged is better than which.


The project is currently very losely organized. Who wants to do something 
just
does it. I really wish Michael would add a news item that we're searching for
web developers who can help with RailFrog or maybe also Trac (if Charlie and
Miakel need help).

If you want to help and think that you can write text that has a high
information/noise ratio please help us. At:
http://www.haiku-os.org/wiki/index.php?title=Website_Team
you can find the list of pages that must be finished for the new website. Look
what is missing and write the text. I can try to make suggestions.

For example, the introduction does not really satisfy me. The "what does easy to
use mean?" section should probably be moved to the top of the Human Interface
Guidelines (as a simple summary). Also, we might add a screenshot. Basically,
the intro should state:
* what is Haiku?
* who is developing it?
* which problems does current software have?
* what are our goals?
* how do we want to achieve this?

There's a lot of work, but I want high-quality (and *short*) content. Not
something that a 14-years-old child slapped together on a weekend. This is the
reason why we're not crying for help.
It's clear that as long as the English content is not finished we can't work on
tranlations.

Bye,
Waldemar Kornewald
