Gnomepal

In case you’re not aware, my name is Hans Dekker. I took the title of Project Manager for Gnomepal a couple of weeks ago. And ever since, I’ve been working to create some structure for the Gnomepal project. This post informs you of my progress.

Here’s the short overview:

• I created a Long Term Road Map
• I created a Short Term Road Map
• I created an Organizational Chart
• I created an overview of different online locations we're using and their functions.

And you'll find them all here.

If you read the last one, you'll realize this post will eventually be moved to dev.gnomepal.org.

Let’s go back...

A few weeks ago, we all realized we needed more structure. We just didn’t know how. There was talk of a roadmap. But what's a Road Map?

Welcome

We hope you'll check in with us often as we grow Gnomepal.org into a definitive resource for communities powered by the Gnomepal project.

As the Gnomepal project unfolds, keep an eye on this space for news, events, announcements, and updates about the project, the community and interesting things people use Gnomepal to do.

In the coming days, weeks and months, watch for revisions both visible and under the hood, such as a new visual theme, the fruit of our informal logo-design effort, refinement of the site's information architecture (especially the Wiki section), discussion forums and ultimately the initial release of the Gnomepal package itself.

Developers and designers - Gnomepal needs you! If you've got mad skills as a Drupal API or module developer, or are a PHP/CSS site design ninja, the time to get involved with Gnomepal is right now. Drop us a line and let us know what you do best.

Gnomepal Project Update

This past Sunday (April 13th) the Gnomepal project's core team convened for a high-level strategy session, baseline assessment and role assignments. Since we're conducting this project transparently, we've published a digest of the meeting along with the corresponding IRC log. If you wanted to participate but were unable to join in the call, or if you're just plain curious about what we're up to - give it a look-see.
