The Arquillian project [1] would like to volunteer to be an early
adopter of HyperKitty. We are looking to shift from forums to
mailinglists, but not lose a user-friendly web frontend for folks
just browsing for information.
We're writing to this list because we think that Fedora and Arquillian
share a common goal to see HyperKitty evolve. We can offer to hack on
it and promote it if Fedora infrastructure would be willing to give
us a space to run a public instance of it. (We're also Fedora users,
of course).
We know about
mm3test.fedoraproject.org, but we're hoping to be able
to point
discuss.arquillian.org at to the installation (CNAME
support).
We plan to actively work on HyperKitty to improve the functionality
and user experience. Therefore, we'd like to request a dedicated
instance to give us the flexibility to experiment as much as needed
without having to worry about disrupting the other lists running on
it. In other words, we want to be bleeding edge for a while :)
Let us know whether this seems like a good fit. Although we are
separate communities, I think the common goal of moving HyperKitty
forward gives us good reason to work together. Plus, we're really
eager to see HyperKitty get used for Fedora lists too.
We are just now setting up a
lists-dev.cloud.fedoraproject.org instance
to use for more development/testing. ;)
We should be able to setup a list for you to test things out with and
help with the development. I'm not sure I would say you should fully
switch to using this list full time, but it should be good enough to
test/devel things. ;)
Hopefully we will have that up in the next week and can look at getting
you setup with a test list there. I would think a CNAME would work out,
but we will have to test and make sure we can handle that config
well. ;)
Thanks for offering to help us out... I am really looking forward to
widespread deployment of hyperkitty. I think it could end up being a
really important improvement in helping communities communicate.
