Relaunch diasporaproject.org as central starting point for the complete project and community overview

I totaly agree with this. Also I think drupal is a good choice. I've got some experience with it and could help.
A discussion about the documentation platform I already opened here:

http://loom.io/discussions/626

And I'm still in the opinion that mediawiki is a good choice!

@groovehunter I think we should just go with the mediawiki syntax, which is more powerful and wide-spread anyway.
It would also make sense to do an automated github-to-mediawiki conversion and then start working on improving the imported pages.

Same goes for the Drupal page; for now it's probably best to replicate what's already there and then start to work and improve upon that. (I really have no experience with Drupal, so I'm hoping you can import stuff there, too)

If there are no blockers until this proposal runs out, I'd also suggest you announce this on the mailing list(s), to let people know about the plans and get them involved, if they want to.

From my point of view we are just chasing tools, and not discussing why we need them. I don't see any improvement from before the community-driven mandate was made.

Seems more of the same. Sorry...

@Florian I wanted markdown extension only for the beginning. So I enabled one markdown extension which works quite okay but unfotunately it switches everything, one cannot choose and start new pages in mediawiki syntax. So a markdown-mediawiki conversion is needed. The amount of pages is still possible to do it manually with 2-3 people.

@Jakob great you like to do some drupal.
Where do we go on with the plans? Is right on the site okay http://diaspora.openspirit.de/node/2

The former discussion you started had no posts for a week and can easily be subsumed in a new thread. At the moment I don't want to open, first do some conceptual work on the wiki structure.

@Florian @all Could anyone post an abstract of this to the google group!?

I think that Diaspora Project should contain a page "How subscribe to Diaspora" explaining the difference between pods and how to choose one.

@groovehunter let's wait for the proposal to finish, but it's looking good right now ;)

39% have stated their position. I can close the proposal right now :)

Just an idea : we should ask to everybody on Diaspora if they can help us. There is a lot of web dev in. We have the list on the pad but we don't have an easy way to talk to them.

My idea : each time someone wants help to do something, he posts it on Diaspora with the hashtag #whatcanidofordiaspora or something like that.

We just have to spread the world with Diaspora HQ that people who wants to help have to search this hashtag :)

Altruism : 39% < 51% :p
