Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Call for Volunteers: Redesign OpenACS.org inside and out

Ok, so we need a plan. I was going to suggest creating a documentation component in bug-tracker, but we already have an openacs.org one. We can use this component for creating tickets for things to do on the site... including documentation. Documentation items can be assigned to "unassigned", and volunteers can choose to fix that ticket.

For this to work we need visibility of this todo list. Not many venture into the bugs section, so we need to bring the bugs section to them. So we should create an "Action List" on the front page of OpenACS that just pulls tickets from the openacs.org component in bug-tracker.

This is where personalisation would be nice. Ideally I would like to see a personlalised Google-like home page where you can drag around blocks of content from bug-tracker, wiki, forums, blog, etc. That way developers can display a bug-tracker block, and casual users can choose not to.
