Idea

From [[WSF2008 site specifications v4]]

Again there can be various such hub sites, but the need for hub sites conveying social forum identity is there, whereas the idea of a “single networking site” will be increasingly unrealistic given the high level of quality of various networking sites

Really?

Find or make a web app that let's you check off the read, write, execute flags for owner, group, public and see what the chmod number is.

Drupal (with LoginToboggan I assume) does welcome e-mails right. I can't stand sites that ask for your password, and then e-mail it back to you. Sure makes me feel my confidential information is in good hands.

This is an example of a registration e-mail done right:

Hi Benjamin Melançon!

could Dan start working on a few proposals for Banners. They could be generic for now, we are working on the text: "Jan. 26th, 2008 - Another world is possible" - "Participate to the Global day of action", etc.

[I also though that it would be great if we could make some kind of widget that "counts down" the days to the 26th of Jan and that can be used as a banner]

Resolution

The latter would be a graphic that Drupal has to update, and is hosted on our server. I'm sure there are PHP scripts for this if nothing else.

Benjamin:
An aside: I was thinking it would be great if all the events like the US social forum could send their lists to be pre-registered with WSF2008.net. But they didn't ask people permission for this ahead of time, of course. Should we have a checkbox for "Let coming social forums in my area use my registration information" and/or "share with national social forum groups"?

Proposed user menu (functionality) from Pierre:

horizontality
decentralization
accountability
with some minimum rules politically communicable
and light protocols (only individual actions)

see a first proposed menu/action list

Proposed list of user Menu in wsf2008.net

User menu in front page (all actions are one click and do not need further confirmation by anybody)

I just had a "great" idea... but we have to see if it is possible to implement it.
Do you know of any freesoftware online banner creator that could be "integrated" in the website, so people could have some pre-made templates and add their slogans, then press a button and get a .gif file ready for their website?

Something like: http://highpowergraphics.com/bannerbuilder/index.php

Agaric wants configuration profiles, that potentially can be combined, as well as applied later than the original installation.

And it seems like we can have it!

I know I should do more reading and trying before asking, but are partial install profiles possible? Can (parts of) install profiles be used after a site is already up and running? Should this use of canned configuration be tried?
