Website Team

The LibreOffice Website Team aims to maintain and enhance our website, wiki, planet and other web infrastructure. At the moment, it primarily works on the LibreOffice international website (http://www.libreoffice.org), and supports the creation of local websites for our worldwide community.

The next steps for both the website team, and the website infrastructure are currently being planned. If you are interested, then please join the website team.

Contribution and Support

Question: How to provide feedback concerning the website?
Answer: Please add any feedback to the Feedback wiki page. Or, you can contact the website team on the website mailing list.

Question: How to join the website team?
Answer: There is no formal process, but subscribing to the website mailing list. Once there, please introduce yourself and tell us what you are interested in. You may also have a look on our LibreOffice website Get Involved page for Web Admins to get an idea what skills might be helpful.

Question: I want to share an idea, how to do that?
Answer: For ideas that can be described quickly, please send it to our mailing list. Don't send any files (attachments) to the mailing list, since they will get automatically removed. Instead, please upload the files to an other website (e.g. photo website), or to this wiki. If you want to describe your thoughts thoroughly, it will make sense to explain your aim in the wiki - e.g. on your personal wiki page. Then, please tell us via a mail to the website mailing list.

Question: I want to make a screenshot for the website, how to do that?
Answer: Remember some points:

Extensions Website Website layout proposal

Andreas Mantke created with the support of a Plone developer a new website for LibreOffice extensions. This site uses the default layout of Plone and needs to be customized (see the first picture on this site). We need a layout proposal for this new site, that incorporate our colors and a good design.

Roles and Responsibilities

To maintain a high level of quality, the website team makes use on the infrastructure's capabilities to assign different roles: "Authors" who provide content, and "Publishers" who will confirm content to make it publically available. Nevertheless, our goal is to have an open open and collaborative approach - everybody who is both interested and experienced is asked to contribute and to join our effort.

If you need help, then please ask on the website list, refer to the list of tasks and volunteers, or contact:

Next Steps and Roadmap

At a meeting of the LibreOffice steering committee 27/10/2010 a decision was made to quickly implement a temporary site based on the SilverStripe CMS which will provide information about the project until a final solution is implemented. The final solution for the website infrastructure was decided to be a Drupal based installation as the code is very flexible and powerful. Silverstripe has been agreed to be the default website CMS, with an option to consider a Drupal website in the future.
