maemo.org and Midgard

Hello,

We have conducted a study on migrating/integrating all
existing services
of maemo.org with the Midgard CMS [1] framework. Based on
the study we
have decided to go ahead and setup the new environment.

The highlights of the project are:
-centralized account management using Garage
-on-line documentation authoring using Midgard
-proper and robust access control
-automated API generating/publishing
-database based Application Catalogue ;)

There are areas, like improvement to the error management
tool
(bugzilla) or a complete site face-lift which we will not
cover this
time, but we might working on these right after this
project.

The project also aims to modularize and contribute back to
GForge the
current garage hacks we made. These are the tag cloud, the
Debian-maintainer account registration parts, or the new
bounty
plugin [2]. The Midgard project will also benefit (hopefully
 from
some of the work we will do.

During the migration we will move all content from the
"old site",
including the wiki docs. You will not need to worry about
your wiki
account's either.

Our progress can be followed at:
http://test.maemo.org or
https
://garage.maemo.org/projects/maemo2midgard

There is practically no content or usable services yet, but
we will make
regular announcements on the list. Estimated time of project
completion
is at the end of November.

Regards on behalf of the project team,
Ferenc

Will you also have a look at unifying all bugtrackers? Every
garage project has one inside
gforge, and maemo has its own bugzilla, which makes moving
'bug in maemo, not in
maemo-mapper' type bugs time-consuming.

regards,

Koen

Btw, as some people (including me) will want to see a
screenshot of
any given app before giving it a whirl (or just to judge the
UI ;),
are screenshots planned to be  included in garage?

No app can be succesful without pretty screenshots you know!

We will not focus on this at the 1st phase of the project.
As I wrote we
may continue the work and then this unification has one of
the highest
priorities.

Screenshots? Hmm, why not? We could actually have a section
at the
project's homepage [1]. It only requires a 'www' directory
in the
subversion repo as described in the MaemoGarageStartupUp
how-to [2].

But before that we really need to do some work. Perhaps
TigerT could
also draw us some fancy new layout graphics if we ask him
nicely ;)
