I had a recent discussion about website landing pages on irc, we are discarding the whole idea and replacing it with wordpress-based news page and integrating news and landing page
I like the idea, except the "wordpress" part ;-)
We would have to redo everything we did for wordpress over again and would have to throw away years of experience with the most popular CMS on this planet. For what?
(I'll avoid jokes about the "most popular operating system" and phpBB as the most popular exploit provider^W^Wforum software ;-)
I strongly object to this. Lets base the future on what we do today instead of throwing everything over board once again.
Henne, I understand your point, and I'm also not a big fan of changing everything for little reason. That method would have saved openSUSE lots of trouble in the past (ZENworks anyone? ;-) - but OTOH we wouldn't have the wonderful libzypp based package management we have today. Sometimes there are good reasons for a change, sometimes there aren't. Seriously: Can you give a short summary about what is "special" in the openSUSE wordpress installations (news.o.o etc.) compared to a vanilla wordpress? I'll then try to give a rough estimate how much time a migration would take. I know the migration to S9Y would cause some work (template, [your_list_here]), OTOH there is a big security win and Matthew would save lots of time when it comes to installing security updates ;-) (and more important: the risk of getting news.o.o hacked/defaced etc. would be much lower) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Unix: Alles ist ein File, und was kein File ist, hat sich gefaelligst als ein solches zu tarnen.
