While I understand that it isn't just one website I would like to think
that there is sufficient technology around that an integrated wiki/cms
type solution is out there for the sake of ease.
While my suggestion of Plone is based on the small amount of information
I have. I personally have not used it so my information is based on
other people's opinions.
My opinion is based on
http://www.gentoo.org/ where they have links to
associated sections. News is on the front page mainly the Newsletter but
at least its a form of letting people know what is going on.
We have a rotating banner with Fedora Weekly News as well as a current
open ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/178
for a news site. Just needs worker bees.
I'm just hoping that there is a streamlined method out there.
Developer
puts a feature page in the wiki it gets approved it gets shifted to a
news item that says we are trying to get x thing implemented by Fedora
x.
Adding process is typically just the opposite of streamline. Anyone can
go and alter the wiki right now (and are encouraged to do so)
