Forum/Web-base/Email list integration
A basic use case scenario
- User emails pcgen_developers@pcgen.org with Subject "New UI", it pops up in the developers forum as a post by that user.
- Another user replies to that post via the forum interface and an email gets send out to the pcgen_developers@pcgen.org mailing list (with the same "New UI" Subject).
- A third user might reply to the first reply via the pcgen_developers@pcgen.org and that reply neatly pops up in the forum. The software would cleverly match Subjects if a User's email client adds the "RE:" prefix to the Subject.
Discussions that need to be addressed
- New Webhost Provider
- WHY?
- Webspace is a necessity that must be addressed currently we have 500mb allocated
- (It should be noted that the Webteam would like an 'alternate' testing capability before migrating to the 'production' side. This was possible with the old wiki [located at pcgen-test.org/wiki]
- WHY?
- Features for future capabilities
- Java support aka Tomcat
- Support such items like JIRA (SF Tracker system)
- Pet projects mentioned
- (Tom would like to participate in this discussion, also need James and Tir in it)
- Limitations - As a volunteer group, money is always a concern and the organization relies heavily on donations and free man hours
- Webhost should offer a vast array of features, at a reasonable price. The lower the cost the better. Shooting from $5/mo to $20/mo
- Limitations - As a volunteer group, money is always a concern and the organization relies heavily on donations and free man hours
- Current Webhost considerations based upon the above criteria
