[Cc-webedit] "Be The Media" & Website - More info

[theinnercityhippy at riseup.net]

hi,

was thinking that myself. I've installed on a debian and ubuntu system
both with and without a graphical environment with no problems. Are you
following the instructions on the hyperactive project page? What distro
are you using?

As for access, i was going to suggest that if a few of us are working on
this i set up a git repo on the server and we can safely commit changes to
that whilst the site is live as the form of the site will be quite
different to the indymedia environment that the core code needs to adhere
to. This means that we need to set up a hyperactive/mods/climatecamp/
folder and work in there, which will override default settings, views,
controllers etc and mean we can still commit core code in a meaningful
way. In the meantime, if everyone gets a local copy running in a git
branch we can merge changes more effectively. Do people have experience of
git versioning or should i give some pointers as to its use?

In order to get the time off for the camp i'm working a round the clock 72
hour shift til thursday morning so i might not be too responsive until
then, but i will be in london briefly on saturday and sunday if anyone
needs to meet up with me from there.

In terms of access to the server and admin interface, we need to come up
with a plan fairly quickly as to how we decide who has this and to what
level as that offer to be collectively decided. As i have a secure line of
communication with jon, and he has an overview of who's doing what and
stuff, and as i don't really know the rest of the web edit team very well,
can i suggest that he sorts out the decision making process as to who
needs it and verifies public ssh keys are authentic, then he can pass them
to me and i'll put them on. It's best i'm removed from the decision making
process for the above reasons and to guard against any kind of heirarchy
forming where i alone get to make those decisions.. It's not a snub to
anyone, just an important process decision that needs to be clarified
fairly quickly.

In the meantime, feel free to email me or the list with any questions or
requests and i promise i'll do my best to respond as quickly as i can. I
have all of next week off to devote to this too so it is ready for the
camp.

Solidarity
