Motivation
The eduCommons project was originally developed and hosted at the Center for Open and Sustainable Learning (cosl.usu.edu/projects/educommons). As the project has moved away from COSL, it is necessary to move the hosting of the project website to a new location. The OCW Consortium has been tasked with overseeing the 3.2.0 release of eduCommons as well as moving the project website to educommons.com. This transition provides several opportunities. We want to increase the visibility eduCommons, making it easier for others to collaborate and contribute code, translations, and documentation.
Proposal
Here are the components involved in hosting eduCommons:
Plone Site with the following:
- Plone Software Center Plugin - Release management, Front end for Downloads, Requirements tracking and documentation.
- Plone Documentation Center - Handles all
documentation for eduCommons including web based docs, screencasts,
howtos, tutorials, sample files, developer documentation
- Need to move help content from cosl.usu.edu/projects/educommons/documentation
Trac Site (http://trac.edgewall.org/)
- Milestone tracking, bug tracking, development wiki
- Browser View over source code repository
Code Repository - Currently using Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/) with apache integration.
Forums
- Currently using PHPBB (http://www.phpbb.com) - If we want to host the eduCommons forum on OCWC we could just merge it with the existing OCWC forums.
- Original forums location: http://cosl.usu.edu/forums
- New location should be at either educommons.com/forums or ocwconsortium.org/forums
Other
- Currently a number of plugins we developed for eduCommons are housed in the Plone Collective (http://dev.plone.org/collective/). It makes sense to keep them there, as there are many other Plone sites that are also using them.
