Bug 152375

Thanks for your feedback.

Unless you step up to do this, I won't hold my breath that this happens before 4.0 is out. The Oxygen team is working on the desktop itself right now. Webpages are currently not a showstopper.

I have experience with webdevelopment and would like to get involved with KDE - this would be a place I could start I think. Who shall I ask to get more information?

And converting to something like Drupal or similar would mean that all old articles and comments have to be migrated. I could write a script for that.

Of course I'd also fix bugs, update templates and remove quirks in the comment system.

Please, get in tough with me!

I might be able to put something into this, depending on what skills are required.

It would be really nice to have a Drupal codebase and a common (or at least similar) theme / look for all kde pages. I think planet.kde.org doesn't look to fresh neither. But they work, and it would be some work to setup apache/php/drupal correctly (proxy, bytecode cache, drupal cache etc.). I really doubt it could be ready by the release of KDE4.
I guess the hardest part is the Design part though. If you're going to tackle it and got anyone for the design, contact me at gmail (same accountname) and i would be glad to help out with module programming or some CCK/Views stuff.

Just send me the new icons and I'll update it.

I wanted to change the look of the dot.i get the zope and squishdot.im trying to look how their look could be changed and i will try to create a kde'sh theme for it but really, there is no reason to use Squishdot and Zope at there.really they have no special feature.
I think we have two possible options:

1)continue using Squishdot: maybe someone at least will succeed to make it look better, but its hard to do.Zope stuff is too much complicated...
2)Migrate to another thing, maybe Drupal? I think this is our very best option...

If there would be a migration please don't forget to convert all the articles.
The history of dot.kde.org is very useful.
I don't know any details about zope and it's cms, but I am waiting for some work now for years. I am the webmaster of kde.de and we often translate news artices to german. But I hate to grep the website for articles. I want to get the articles in an XML-Format. With Drupal I am sure to get this done, cause I can code php a little.
Navindra seems busy all the time.
I agree with Bartemius. The page layout looks a little outdated compared to kde.org and other pages using CI.

The XML thing is really not hard to do.  True, I haven't done it myself yet but it's not hard at all theory... just do it the same way the RDF code does it currently.  

I'm going on vacation from work in a couple of weeks, so with some luck I could look at this in December if you guys still refuse to work with Squishdot.  Squishdot is not hard, here is what the RDF code looks like.  It's not rocket science... if you are able to understand the messy PHP stuff, you should be able to grok this too!

Changing the look should not be that hard either.  Just give me some HTML code templates and the new images to use.

Somebody told me this is still open. With the new dot online, I will close this ticket. Thanks to everyone involved in the transition and setup.

Until old links are not working again (redirects) it is not ready in my opinion.

So I open it again.

I already wrote an email to Kyle (Cornelius dit it as well), but nothing happens.

What is the status about that?

I fixed redirecting the old urls a month or two ago.
