Project Description

Objective Approach and Plan Progress and Next Steps
  • Discuss the procedure for reaching consensus and making decision for the infrastructure issues that will have effect on large number of users
  • Consider mailing list proposal to move Slicer and possibly several related discussion forums to the Discourse platform.
  • Discuss new community-interaction possibilities such as Gitter.
  • Consider the long-discussed proposals to move to github hosting for the web site

  • Document the procedure for reaching consensus and making decision for the infrastructure issues that will have effect on large number of users
  • Discourse
    • Assess Discourse with broader community.
    • Identify funding mechanism.
    • Logistics to move if chosen:
      • Hosting: fully-managed service? vs DigitalOcean or other provider?
      • Domain name: 'discourse.slicer.org'?
      • SSL certificate for domain: can use Letsencrypt after host and DNS record are configured
      • SMTP service: included in hosted option. For self-hosting: strongly recommended, and mandatory for email-only signup and mailing list mode; not mandatory if using only oauth provider (GitHub/Google/etc.)
  • GitHub

  • Web-site
    • Organize web-site content on github
