the Gluster website and to connect it better with the Gluster<br>
community. If you are interested in this, read below, and pitch<br>
in with your insights. We should continue the discussion on<br>
gluster-infra list to avoid fragmentation, but I wanted to cc -users<br>
and -devel to invite more people into the brainstorming.<br>
<br>
The goal: To better connect the website with the Gluster community<br>
<br>
I think we should list what generally goes on in our community,<br>
and also what things we would like to improve. Then we can try to<br>
figure out how the website could support that effort better.<br>
<br>
There might be many approaches to this, and everyone of you can help<br>
by pitching in ideas and things that you think could help Gluster<br>
community. Creating a smoother path for new people to install<br>
Gluster and get familiar with the community would be good.<br>
<br>
Here's what I've been thinking about, from the point of view of<br>
someone new to Gluster. Feel free to improve the list:<br>
<br>
I've been thinking of four main areas here: Gluster (the software),<br>
the Community, News, and Events.<br>
<br>
The Software (installation, learning about it)<br>
==============================================<br>
<br>
## Discover Gluster<br>
<br>
* Explanation of what Gluster is and what are the strengths<br>
* Some good showcases that clearly show the strong points<br>
where Gluster makes sense<br>
* Some introduction videos / screencasts to explain the<br>
principles and concepts<br>
* Maybe a link to a QA forum's "newbie" section where<br>
we can help with questions we did not know about ourselves?<br>
<br>
## Installing Gluster<br>
<br>
* Instructions to get initial installation going easily,<br>
this should be really straightforward and sensible<br>
default settings should work.<br>
<br>
## Learning more about Gluster<br>
<br>
* Detailed admin guides / howto-documents that explain<br>
what kind of setups make sense for different uses etc..<br>
* Community QA and mailing lists and irc for more questions /<br>
and also to get involved<br>
* Consultancies and companies offering support<br>
<br>
## Improving Gluster<br>
<br>
* Reporting Bugs<br>
* Sending Patches<br>
* Companies offering Gluster development services<br>
<br>
<br>
The Community<br>
=============<br>
<br>
## Communication and Hangouts<br>
<br>
* Explanation and the idea about open community development<br>
* IRC channels, Mailing Lists, etc?<br>
* How to get involved<br>
<br>
<br>
Events<br>
======<br>
<br>
* I don't know much about what's happening in this area,<br>
please fill in details :-)<br>
<br>
News<br>
====<br>
<br>
* Security alerts<br>
* New releases<br>
* Development blog / newsletter?<br>
<br>
Do you have other ideas? Are there other things that the<br>
community does that I am not aware of? Let me know. Or if<br>
you disagree with something, explain why I am wrong in my<br>
thinking :-)<br>
<br>
Tom, you also likely have some ideas you want to drive forward?<br>
