/me and danimo, too. Good to see someone else caring ...

Here's a list with things and ideas we've been bouncing around:

- We want to move from the current Dot to something more easily maintainable
- We need new theming
- We need some way to moderate comments

To accomplish that, we need to:

- install and setup new system (1)
- migrate the data from the current Dot (stories, comments, users?)
- create theme (graphics, css)

(1) we looked into wordpress since its featureset pretty much matches what we 
need, and it doesn't have a lot more stuff, so little to strip down. We're 
not married to that, though. Drupal might also be a good idea since we're 
already running a site on drupal, so not another system added. Right now, Dot 
is running on Zope/Squishdot.

If you'd be able to help with the Dot, that'd be really (really, really!) 
welcome.

Should we keep this discussion on kde-www?

Cheers,
