+1, especially the "overly concerned" part. Seriously folks. Just start |
| 6 |
it. Take whatever you as a person feel comfortable with. Talk to infra, |
| 7 |
if there are concerns about security. Then get moving. Maybe even set up |
| 8 |
multiple implementations and start evaluating, if you can trick infra |
| 9 |
into doing the setup. If not, you'd have to live with what they give you. |
| 10 |

| 11 |
You can theorize all you want about the best possible solution. That |
| 12 |
will just clog up the pipes and piss users off no end. It certainly did |
| 13 |
so for me. I'm now at the point where i'm willing to bet money on the |
| 14 |
wiki request never actually reaching infra. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Can we please go back to happy days where guys and gals worked on an |
| 17 |
implementation FIRST, posted to lists SECOND and ironed out errors via |
| 18 |
peer review THIRD? It'll make us all more productive. |

Please don't make it another project. This will just create a new |
| 23 |
territory and spread resources even thinner. Take one of the |
| 24 |
"user-facing" projects like forums or userrel. |
| 25 |
But don't let this be a blocker to get things done. You can always |
| 26 |
change ownership of the stuff once you actually get some property to |
| 27 |
talk about. |

An important lesson i've learned during the last days as i've taken up |
| 30 |
php stuff: people, users and devs alike, will step up to help you, do |
| 31 |
things for you, work with you and be generally amazing if you |
| 32 |
(1) ask specific, detailed questions and |
| 33 |
(2) provide some of the work yourself. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Usually you have to do (2) before you can do (1). Applying this the wiki |
| 36 |
debate, you |
| 37 |
(1) ask specific, *technical* questions, you ideally answer with yes/no |
| 38 |
(1.1) Do we have an ebuild for it? If no, can i maintain one? |
| 39 |
(1.2) Will infra emerge the ebuild for me? If not, why not? |
| 40 |
(1.3) Who do i pester about my administrator access data? |
| 41 |
(1.4) Who can i use as lab-monk^W^W^Wa test group? How to reach them? |
| 42 |
(2) set up some fscking wiki and let people play with it. |
| 43 |
(3) profit ;) |
