[Ubuntu-be] Flemish ministry of education distributes Ubuntu

[mongolito404]

Hoi,

I'm the tech webmaster for the Ubuntu-be website, but anybody can have
an access to write/edit content ( (just ask me), as long they do
participate here and tell us what they are doing. But this is the
theory and only a few people did participate and edit the site (this
is not a negative critic, just a fact, I'm nut judging anybody).

I think this clearly show that the current solution used for the
Ubuntu-be website (that's it, CMS-MS, the chosen CMS engine) doesn't
work when it comes to create an asy to use, easy to get in,
collaborative environment to maintain our website. I'm seriously
planning to search for another solution. But, as I'm working on the
next-gen Ubuntu supporter map I don't have a lot of time for the
website.

Maybe plain XHTML files (with minimalist template system) in a
cvs/svn/bzr repository would do it better. For tech people, it
shouldn't be hard to fetch edit and commit XHTML files. While non-tech
people, could work either at the XHTML level or use a WYSIWYG tools
(Nvu ?) to edit pages and send them to tech-aware people who would do
the tech part of the job. And most of those who tried the current
system (CMS-MS) dislike having to learn "yet another tool" to simply
edit XHTML pages/files.

If a planet-like solution is planned for Launchpad, wa can probably
start  an ubuntu-be news blog (either hosted by ouself, or using a
free blogging+hosting platform). But as usual, this is not a technical
problem. We can easily have a "space" to publish Belgium related
Ubuntu news and events, the real problem is to have people feeding it
with content.
