Re: EU, FB, and the Playdogs (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) | Well, I would´nt go as far as saying that all public servers and goverment computers will run on Open Source in five years. However there is a strong movement towards just as good solutions - just a lot cheaper. The School Department in Sweden switched from Microsoft Office to Suns Star Office and saved 650 million Skr - in one year. Not Open Source but away from Microsoft.
When it comes to Php-Nuke let me start by saying that FB has done a great job but he now has to let people helt and he has to get things moving by the help of teams and get a proper project organised. One team that takes care of bugtesting, security and patching, one team that takes care of actually documenting the system - "how to install" and "how to use" it and finally one team that actually develops the CMS-part of the system.
There are a lot of stuff stored in the database that is not being used and we have seen little development of the core of the system.
. UserGroups
. Link associated articles to one another with a droplist
. Preview in Content Manager and Sections
. Picture upload (there are modules, sure)
. HTML-filter or BBCode in news etc. etc to get rid of security problems, or solve many of them
. Better and more stable ways of upgrading a system
. A better patch system for bugs and security problems
. Rip out parts and create modules of them - rating is one of those functions
. Associated links - possibility to edit them in admin
. A better, tighter security system
There are a lot more than I can think of and it´s alredy being done. We (a small team) are alredy working on our own distribution (in Swedish) with user documentation, everything translated and with a lot of tweaks and changes from the original, wich by the way is 6.0 since we felt that PhpBB was not that great idea many others seemed to think.
We will off course not change anything that will lead up to that this distribution will not be compatible with modules and blocks created by others but we will add several functions that we fell should be there
If FreeNuke or NukeFree will take off we are willing to help out and contribute any wich way we can but untill then we have decided do create our own version/distribution.
FB really has to understand that users need support and at this point PHP-Nuke is used by so many that it is high time to let others in on the project and let others help.
Finally, instead of publishing new versions at a high rate - how about spending some time getting everything to work and clean out all the bugs?
How about alpha-, betatesters and goals set up with Milestones?
How about a bugreporting system?
Create a project - get people involved and get each team to be responsible for different parts - take a look at Mozilla and use parts of how that projects is organised and then get this show on the road again. |
