[Web Comm] Project Owner for www.osgeo.org project

[Jason Birch]

Thanks,

I'll need permissions to delegate authority to the CVS access at least.
I'd also like to at least have view access on the project that controls
the domain's styling, etc, so I can get a better understanding of how
that works.

For the news.osgeo.org project, would it be possible to have the current
announcement titles, dates and summaries automatically displayed in the
main content section of the page?

Jason

Frank,

I'll jump in as its after hours in Auke's world right now.  WWW is a
special project, as it controls the domain level content (homepage,
right side news, all sub-pages under the domain).  It also is home to
the "one-way" mailing lists such as info@, faq@, feedback@, etc.
Typically, users have "content view" permissions in the WWW project,
just so they can actually view the HTML that is rendered on the site.  I
created a special role in that project so Jason could manipulate the
announcements, but if he needs the capability to update the domain
content as well, then he should have access to that.  There is a special
role called "content developer" that gives someone access only to the
www subdirectory in a project's repo, that is an option for this case.

Personally, I don't think there is a large risk of opening up access to
what's under the hood to competent engineers who take the time to learn
the surroundings before barreling forward with changes to the
configuration.  If you want Jason to have full permissions in the WWW
project we can go ahead and give them to him (you as well if you want). 

Auke, please follow up with this thread when you get back online.

Thx,
Andrew

Auke,

I'm not quite sure how the "www.osgeo.org" project works, but if it is
not already the case, Jason should be a project owner if that is what it
takes for him to provide SVN commit access to the project to team
members.  I tried visiting
https://www.osgeo.org/servlets/ProjectMemberList
but apparently I don't have view permissions.

Does the www project work like others?  Or does it have a lot of special
properties?

Best regards,
--
