-
actions
- roadmap/history->about
- add points from loci
- "future development" -> global roadmap? yes. * or embedding them?
- toplevel pages should be high-level overview with links to more content
-
look&feel: main page & forums are very different
- brian & andrew try to work that out
-
phpbb
- only sends email when you get a new topic or a thread
- will this take extra monitoring? (can see what you have and have not seen)
- a second comment "i have the same problem" counts as answered.
-
faq: we've got lots of questions
- how to move forward?
- any questions to be removed? possibly.
- just pointing at the correct page?
- something that looks like the phpbb faq? or plone plugin?
