[NA-Discuss] limericks

Tue Jul 3 12:39:06 EDT 2007

Could keep on the Mambo fork or switch to Joomla - both are being
upgraded/worked on.
The problem has been that if ICANN pays for content management, then it
won't be independent, and the consultant who is paid (Jean) will need to
pass stuff by the lawyers. If ALAC members update it, we don't have to pass
through the legal stuff. So as ICANN hasn't paid for content management,
it's been languishing - no one on the committee has had time  to manage it.
As well, the site never got the traction that it needed to be truly
valuable. One major question asked was for the plan to get it to the stage
where it is well known and used. The forums were empty, even ALAC members
weren't active on them.
If anyone is interested in volunteering for this task, please let us know.

Have though about upgrading the site to Joomla? Nobody mentioned the
existence of this site until now.

Hi, I'm on the list so I'm following things.
It would be interesting to know if the limericks (which I read over 
at Facebook!) would even be allowed on the official ALAC site.
I have to wonder if all the ALS's and the RALOs even know that there 
is a place for them on icannalac.org. The idea that ALAC originally 
had was to create a space unfettered by ICANN  legal staff that had 
to vet everything going on the official ALAC site. The independent 
icannalac site was paid for by At Large. It uses the content 
management system Mambo and the intent was that ALAC members would 
take it up where I left off last Dec. When that didn't happen, ALAC 
submitted a proposal to hire me to do what I had been doing as a 
member of ALAC, namely, run the ALAC's ALS  voting tool and run the 
independent website. Last I knew, staff had many questions about this 
and since it's now been over six months, that proposal is probably a 
dead issue. I have not heard anything since I was copied on the 
questions.
My husband is still under contract to do the Mambo updates and 
technical aspects of the site, but the site hasn't had any updates 
since last Dec. Anyone with Mambo skills and interest could take over 
the editorial side.The idea was that each RALO and each ALS would 
have author privileges in their own areas of the site.  The word is: 
independent.
thanks
JP
