This page documents issues, policies and plans with regard to the evolving OSGeo Portal front end.
Portal Site
The OSGeo Portal site contains stable documents and lives at http://www.osgeo.org/ and is managed by WebCom. This Wiki is the place to collaborate on new documents, refine and revisit existing policies. Once approved they become stable and migrate to the Portal Site where they are translated and maintained using the Portal Translation Status page.
LDAP and membership
- A mechanism for new users to join the web site and for this to update the LDAP backend database is currently being set up. This work is integrated with the Membership Application project.
Policies
The portal site is hosted by a professional provider. The Infrastructure Transition Plan and Migration Documentation details the installation. CSS file access, patches, LDAP connectivity and lower level system administration are amanged by SAC.
- WebCom is responisible for the content, and content management policy.
- SAC is responsible for maintaining the software, and host system.
CMS Permissions
The role defines what a user is allowed to do and what she gets to see. WebCom votes for users to get roles.
admins
Users with role "admins" can check permissions when logged in.
- "admins" can create (currently only local - yuck) users, configure all modules that are installed, edit all settings and perform all operations.
anonymous user
- "anonymous users" can read pages, this is the public, unrestricted view.
authenticated user
- can look at other user pages
- can see pre-releases
- can create "own events", what is that, do we want that?
project manager
- "project managers" can create pages and add content but cannot change the structure, layout and cannot activate or take away modules. All members of VisCom should have this role for the VisCom "instance", "pages" or "sections".
translator
- "translators" are somewhat more resticted in creating new items than project managers are but they can access the translation tools.
All roles can be combined and adding functionality up. If you are intersted in translating content please read the description on Drupal Portal Translations and contact WebCom.
