Re: [Tikiwiki-users] submissions to tw.o news (articles) by tw.o users?

[Marc L. <ma...@ma...>]

Hi Xavier!

Thank you for your email.

tiki_p_submit_article was given to Registered group but "Submissions" 
was turned off. There are 6 submissions there which are either tests, 
inappropriate or outdated...  Anyways, I have changed it back. Thanks 
for pointing this out. I am looking forward to reading your news!

Yes, Gary has done an outstanding job with themes.tikiwiki.org 

Batawata is adding the final touches to mose's new InterTiki feature. 
(http://tikiwiki.org/InterTiki) The goal is that users won't have to 
create a new account to use all *.tikiwiki.org sites  This is gonna be 
very very useful.

Let's start thinking about a better, more scalable way to manage news 
about TikiWiki. We have 17 official  *.tikiwiki.org sites now and more 
are on the way.

How do we publish all this info? Some ideas?

Maybe a monthly new update which is on tikiwiki.org and in a 
tiki-newsletter? It could contain:

At the top:
A few paragraphs of editorial content. This content would be prepared 
collectively during the whole month on a wiki page and transferred to 
the article/newsletter just before publishing. (or using the wikipage 
include plugin!)

In the middle:
Some RSS feeds from all *.tikiwiki.org sites (articles + blogs).  
(However, I don't want info to appear 2 months in a row for a site which 
has little news)

At the bottom:
Some automatically generated stats about Tiki. For example:
# of developers
# of open trackers
# of cvs commits since last months
etc

What do you think?

M ;-)
