Tony,

I was actually thinking if we shouldn't have some sort of contest to find
a new default Geeklog theme since I, too, am growing tired of XSilver.
Obivously, we can't offer much more than fame as the first price, but
maybe someone has some nifty idea ...

And in that same general direction: I think we should reduce the number
of themes that are included with Geeklog to, say, 5. The size of the
Geeklog tarball has been steadily increasing over time and with 7
standard themes, we have a LOT of files in there, which even seems to
have ticked off a few people on occasion. Uploading them all via ftp when
you're installing Geeklog for the first time and you're not sure what's
needed and what not can be tedious, I guess.



>Also, I'd like to use this as another push for recruiting coders.


Posting a followup to last year's "How can you help Geeklog?" <http://
www.geeklog.net/article.php?story=20030803155454822> may be a start.



>Dirk,  for that section it 

>would be nice to get from you what you have planned for the 1.3.x branch 


Well, shorter release cycles, for example ;-)

I've finally upgraded my last remaining 1.3.7-based site to 1.3.9 two
weekends ago and was already missing stuff that's in CVS. I think we
should slowly start to wrap up 1.3.10 feature-wise, fix as many of the
outstanding bugs as reasonably possible and start testing the hell out of
it ...


Sorry, Tony, that I used your post to go off on a few tangents here. I
promise to come back to you on the other issues ...

bye, Dirk

I agree.  Maybe us developers could anty up a small amount of our own 
$$.  I know that sounds a bit ridiculous but at this point I'd be 
willing to part with, say, $25 of my own hard earned money if it meant 
getting a good, high quality theme.  If 3 or 4 of us could do that then 
you have a pretty good incentive.  Just a thought, I'm OK with the "do 
it for clout" concept too.

Lol, I say we go down to one.  Seriously, I know the pain of having to 
update a bunch of theme files to complete one bug fix.  It's a big pain 
and, frankly, the users should be downloading themes.  We should treat 
Geeklog like XMMS.  With SuSE, RH, etc, you get the main XMMS rpm and 
then XMMS-SKINS rpm separately.  So as to not alienate existing default 
themes, we should find people willing to maintain them and, if there are 
no takers, then we should simply kill them.  We could optionally provide 
a script that could download a theme into the layout directory...that 
would be a 10 minute deal since the gets of downloading, uncompressing 
and installing was already done by Jason's installer.

Geeklog used to be one of the portals on the above site; it seems to 
have vanished. I used to send people there to do head-to-head with the 
other CMS projects, but I guess I'll stop doing that. Anyone know where 
it went / why it vanished?

Didn't vanish.  The site went to Pair for free hosting and faster 
servers (even though they are recently down a lot there too). And the 
CVS/development is done on donated servers in charge of Tony.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that Geeklog had vanished from the net. 
Geeklog vanished as one of the installed CMS products on 
opensourcecms.com ... they let you "test drive" a bunch of them 
head-to-head, and Geeklog used to be amongst the list.

Ironically, his site was just hacked and defaced because he was running 
an old PHP Nuke (sigh).

-rob.

Oohhhh.  Brain fart.  I thought you meant on sf.net (I saw "opensource" 
and associated the two instantly).  No idea why it's gone, that was a 
great site to test drive Geeklog.
