Just as a small start I've made a collection of notes using a collaborative editor which I will dump project ideas into. Anyone with the link can add notes, please try not to remove any notes that are not yours. Its not going to scale, but its better than nothing.

Its some pretty heavy javascript, but I trust the developers not to include any (stupid) external scripts.

Hello Genodians,
Is there an interest in organizing a list of small projects and tasks that can be prioritized somehow? This would be applications to port or new langauges to support, projects that are orthoginal to the Genode base system and don't belong in that issue tracker. ...
I've been thinking about this for a while, and Joel has mentioned it also. I think it really is time for something like this, especially after the release of Sculpt CE.
I'm not really the right person for this, but if no-one else volunteers, I am willing to set up a quick set of pages to track things like this, as a temporary, stop-gap measure.
I am thinking of a set of static HTML pages, using client-side JavaScript to display info from XML files that contain the actual data. I'm not a graphical designer, so the page will be very basic (unless someone wants to do a simple design).
(As the community grows beyond a certain size, this model will obviously not scale - hopefully someone will step forward to take it to the next level before that time.)
Here are the sections I have thought of so far:
Getting Started : Links for new users to Genode
News / Announcements : New versions of packages, Genode releases, etc.
Wish List : Tally of wish list items, tracking number of
people interested; links to external bounty pages
- Current Projects : Descriptions of projects that people are
working on, current status, whether they want collaborators, etc.
Unfortunately, using static pages, this will all be pretty lame. (E.g., votes for wish list will have to be submitted by e-mail, without back-end code to tally votes.)
Everyone, please let me know your thoughts. If you think this might be useful, I will try to slap something together.
(Give me any ideas for names also. I was thinking of "Genode Central" or "Sculptor's Workshop", but you guys can probably do better.)
Thanks!
