Been a while, but the bug team needs to get organized and happy again :)
So...

Everyone who is interested should sign up for the bug-squad list[1]-
we're trying to get more organized and distribute important work to more
people.[2] It's very low traffic, so if you're curious, don't be bashful
about lurking :)

*Bug Day! It's been too long. Thursday, 9AMEST-9PMEST[3], just like the
good old days. We're going to try to be more organized than we have been
in the past- going forward, we want GNOME programs to have their own QA
teams, and hopefully we can start down that road on Thursday. So... come
on by, say hello, and read a few bugs.

Anyway, hope to see many new faces and some old ones there-
Luis

Bugzilla is for feature requests. That's the intent. These bugs (as opposed to software bugs) are fairly abstract -> what needs to be there, what needs to be improved, etc. These will be extraordinarily useful to us. (More than ranting on gnomedesktop.org, indeed.)

We haven't been looking for contributors for a while, because we're working on the infrastructure, which will allow us to handle them, and what they want to do. It's just like writing a new piece of software; you don't want hundreds of people all over it until you can scale.

When we launch the framework beta, we'll be inviting everyone to work on the design, IA, required documentation, and simple porting of old content. A lot of that work really needs to be done within the context of the infrastructure and specs we've been doing.

The previous poster said something about html/php/perl/cgi gurus... Note that none of the infrastructure includes this stuff, and dynamic bits (php/perl/cgi) will be in very limited use throughout the site. :-)

I posted an update of the site status to a few mailing lists (include gnome-web-list) a while back. That might be of use to readers here who would like to make informed suggestions.
