We all know that connect sucks, but that's not really PHP's fault ;-) Connect is "just" an old system and didn't get enough maintenance, and I'm afraid that a lack of maintenance causes problems in all programming languages.
Oh, and I'll scare you a bit more - our wikis run with MediaWiki, which is written in PHP - and works ;-)
Yup, there is nothing wrong with PHP, inexperienced developers will shoot themselves in the foot with whatever they get their hands on. (speaking from personal experience).
Personally, I already have most of your proposal implemented by using mail notifications everywhere. I fetch my mails anyway, and reading some more mails (which get filtered into lots of folders) is easier than going to a website.
Push instead of pull. Absolutely. I do the same.
Even if that website has everything in one place, I still have to go there,
Plus another umpteen websites.
The current usage of connect.o.o is (quick summary, I hope I didn't miss anything): - membership management (can be simplified if everybody likes the reforming proposal, but is still needed) - profile pages aka "phonebook" - this can mostly be replaced with user pages in the wiki.
How many "profile" does one individual need? I have an entire collection. Linkedin, Xing, google+, connect.o.o, I probably one on my blog, in wikipedia, IEEE, RIPE, our local Gewerbeverein, all kinds of places, many of which I have forgotten. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (1.6°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
