[osflash] Disseminating OSFlash (was IDE mon amour, the poll results.)

[João Saleiro]

I think we should give the next step, and start thinking on the creation 
of another web-site (introductory, for newbies) and keeping (or 
improving) the current wiki. Or improving the current wiki.

For that, i think we should discuss on the ML the structure of that 
site, and how to implement it.
[1- Discuss the structure]

This is not usual, and maybe it's not the best solution, but i think it 
would be funny if the front-end was Flash - we are osflash, aren't we? 
:P The sections (tutorials, case studies, etc) would be served as RSS, 
and the front-end just had to consume this and show it on screen. So we 
could use existing tools for the server side, and we would only have to 
implement the interface. And share the "web-site" code as an example of 
an osflash project :P. Well, it's open to discussion!
[2- Discuss the technologies]

The design should be something simple, but appealing.
[3- Propose some layouts]

The most important thing is the content (general info, the tutorials, 
etc), so we should start creating quality content. And also, keep it 
simple to add more content.
[4- Create content, like tutorials, and more things to be decided with 
the structure)

After closing the discussion on this subjects, we should stop talking 
and start working. Everyone who is available to work on this should 
apply for a work-force (is this the word? Argh, my english...). I think 
that within one/two weeks - or less -, if we are organized, it will be 
finished.
[5- Create a work-force]

I am willing to help on this, despite having a tight deadline for the 
current project (is there any osflasher available to work in Webfuel? :P).

Waiting for your reactions....
