[jdf-dev] Site Roadmap (was Re: "Edit this page" links)

Dan, Aslak et al, very nice idea :-) But I will ask you to file this in http://issues.jboss.org/browse/JDF for now, as before we start adding much more to the site, I think we need a "consolidation" phase, where we try to untangle the many hacks that went into it. These range from locally fixing awestruct extensions, that had bugs, through to the fact I didn't really know much Ruby when I started, so some of the code is basically Java written in Ruby, through to the fact that we're sharing a lot of custom extensions with Arquillian.org and I think we should try to merge them and push to an upstream [1] these extensions. So, my proposal is to 1) let the dust settle for about a week, and see what falls out 2) do some consolidation (probably all the issues mentioned above except the shared upstream bit) 3) start adding new stuff Finally, I think that something we all could benefit from is an "identity service". IMO this would be a REST service, that you could hand as much information as you know about a user (e.g. real name, github id, email addr, blog url etc.) and it gives you back their full profile if it knows about it. This would save us each building an identity database locally, and I would also make attaching identity into the dynamic, javascript embedded, bits that we have much easier (e.g. Nabble, we could change the profile page you get, to include links back to the JBoss Community profile). Pete [1] Not sure if this is awestruct itself, or an awestruct-extras package of some sort? or just awestruct-guides, awestruct-identity etc. On 5 Jun 2012, at 22:49, Dan Allen wrote:
