1. GNOME Website Plan for 2.27/2.28

This page summarizes the GNOME website development plan for the GNOME 2.28 release which will be out on September 21, 2009.

1.1. Mission

Release a beta version of the new GNOME website featuring the reviewed content in a refreshed design using Plone as the underlying Content Management System (CMS).

1.2. Scope

For the 2.28 release, we'll be focusing on delivering a website containing:

This is based on the previously proposed content for the website. There might be changes on the actual content of each of those items as they get reviewed by the Content team. This list represents the major topics which are essential for the first website release.

Our efforts should be directed towards getting those items done by the end of the 2.28 cycle. Any additions to the 2.28 scope should be explicitly proposed so that we avoid losing focus during the process.

1.3. Task forces

The project comprises three task forces with well defined goals: Content, Design, and CMS. Those task forces should work in parallel and integrate their work with each other when possible.

1.3.1. Content

Goal

Produce, scope, review and cleanup the new website content to get it ready to be released.
