Labs/Site 2.0/Roadmap
From MozillaWiki
Contents
Stage 1: Replacing the current labs site
This is the first component.
Notes
Right now I'm thinking this would be a WordPress MultiUser install with a custom Labs-branded template and a handful of plugins.
Each project and the main Labs would have its own blog instance, with aggregation plugins used to pull in feeds from forums, other weblogs, twitter, etc.
Stage 2: Idea submission tool
See Specs and User Stories for more information.
Stage 3: Aggregation tool
Stage 4: Community framework
See Community Framework for what few details are currently available for this.
Notes
Initial experiment was with Elgg as a possible approach for this. The Elgg team has a commercial services division which can do custom work if necessary. Experimental install is here Mozilla Design Challenge.
- Evaluation: Probably too much for our current requirements. We primarily need a rock-solid and scalable discussion framework, and with Elgg the discussion system is secondary.
Now experimenting with a web forum install.
