We want to better our communication with the world. That is why we have set up a WordPress-Blog at
http://foswiki.on-the-net.de.
MartinSeibert has an admin-account and a valid FTP login. We have a virtual Server with 512MB RAM and 5 GB hard disk space.
The following tasks are open:
- Find out, if SvenDowideit and ArthurClemens will help with WordPress solution. (MartinSeibert)
- Update the WordPress 2.6 to WordPress 2.7.1 (IT colleagues of MartinSeibert or anybody else, that can do the job)
- Set up a nameserver entry for http://blog.foswiki.org, that points to the IP address 81.3.45.113. That is where the blog is. (SvenDowideit)
- Start blogging. (MartinSeibert)
- Offer WordPress accounts for everybody in the community, that wants to joing blogging. (MartinSeibert)
- Integrate last 5 blogging entries on Foswiki homepage. (SvenDowideit)
- How can we insert the RSS-Feed of the weblog on our Website?
- I would like to exchange the Project Update section with the future blog posts as soon as we have 5 news.
- Integrate blogging entries in our Twitter feed and on the Facebook page and other possible syndication platforms. (MartinSeibert)
- Integrate WordPress in Foswiki.org as much as possible
- Tweak the WordPress templates, so that they look similar to our Foswiki homepage. (ArthurClemens)
- Sync login credentials from Foswiki.org to WordPress.
- Work out the benefits of WordPress as a separate solution. (MartinSeibert)
- We could save a lot of effort by using a Foswiki blog solution (i.e. the styling and login credentials sync no longer needs to be addressed). It will also show how flexible Foswiki is. It looks bad to have a Foswiki blog extension that even we wont use. -- AndrewJones - 25 Mar 2009
