Website unification
- website should be driven by the community and the needs of the ecosystem, not by "marketing and sales dudes"
- need to strike balance between open source being good and need to drive sales
- make it easier to find tools from the ecosystem
- grow the ecosystem
- talk to Cornelius about inqlude
- Also make available from Creator and the installer/maintenance tool
- Accounts should also be unified: Qt Account, JIRA/Gerrit, Wiki/Forum
- There are 22400 JIRA accounts and most of them might be stale
- Same identity, not single sign-on
- Old Wiki (Media wiki): needs to be shut down
- Lots of deep-linking into it
- But Tero would prefer to keep a Mediawiki instance instead of the Expression engine one in the main site
- Changeover should be progressive
- Start with the most needed pages
- DevNet has 40000 threads and lots of comments
- Deep-linking
- Painful to keep the forums running due to expression engine
- Building of binaries is a separate discussion
- Cornelius might help with OBS
- Danimo has experience with it
- Need to vet binaries coming from third parties (no malware)
- Blog aggregation:
- Planet Qt continues as it is
- Planet's feed should show up on the homepage, headlines only
- Homepage should have project-wide news
- Could be an aggregator too
- Calendar / events:
- Would be nice to consolidate a calendar of events
- Needs to be a main section of the main website
- qtdeveloperdays.com needs to be consolidated too
- Need to have governance rules for editing the websites
- Open Governance, same principles but specialised for the website
- Similar to the Social Media Guidelines
- Separate topic: better coordination with packagers
- Linux distro packages, Ministro and mingw.org builds should be available at release time
