- Wiki: 1) In order to fix the wiki quickly ,the board approved the idea of deploying the latest version of mediawiki on a new server without branding 2) branding can always be redone later
Can you please elaborate on what it is that needs fixing?
- Blogs/Planet: 1) Only a handful of people use Planet, but it takes a lot of resources to keep it running. We want to shut it down, and encourage it's users move to their own blogs, which will then be aggregated on planet.opensuse.org
I'm guessing you are talking about lizards that you want to shut down right? I think it would be an awesome project to attract web-developers if we could maintain an openSUSE Lizard theme for a number of the popular blog engines (wordpress, ghost, jekyll, tumblr). This would also help people on Lizards to migrate more easily.
Yes, I'm talking about lizards, not planet And I like the idea, and think we should do it, but openSUSE doesn't need to run those blogging platforms
- News.o.o: 1) Wordpress consumes too many resources and poses too many security risks
Can you elaborate on how you came to this conclusion?

- Legal layout of Board/membership: The current layout of the Board Election Rules, Membership Rules, and such are sometimes confusing and missing some details The documents will be updated and restructured to be more clear This should set the framework for discussing any reforms of the Membership process once the Membership tidy-up is complete
I hope you are aware that this would need approval from all Members. Please do not fiddle with the rules that govern the Board on your own.
The intent of what we describe above is primarily a restructuring about which document which rules live in, because the current ruleset is somewhat fragmented. The intend is to have little or no practical changes. Any changes to the Election Rules will require a vote by the board with a 2/3s majority including the Chair, or a Members vote with a 2/3s majority, as stated in our rules https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election_rules#Amendment: -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
