Tried to hit this but it is 404.

Please, not Drupal. Anything but that. Seriously.

Agree with Martin, just let the site evolve.

I think this would be helpful for everyone, not just Doug and other
Alfresco managers.

I am confused about why this site needs to list add-ons when
addons.alfresco.com already exists.

Agree with Martin's suggestion.

I added Richard as a "Candidate". On the one hand he is our contact in

A common way to flag people who are involved but not "voting members" would
be to call them "observers".

Any ideas on who we should invite? I thought about inviting all community

The single most important thing that needs to be done before inviting
people or letting people sign up is to define what this group is for in a
way that everyone agrees on. It seems very blurry at the moment. Once
that's clarified and made public, we can start pushing people to the site
to learn more and then they can sign up (or whatever the process is
supposed to be).


Who is ready to work on the first activity? It's very important but looks

I agree with Cristina that a coordinating call of some sort would go a long
way.
