So you're a webmaster for a website that doesn't exist and your first task is to create it? There are several options of getting this done within the MPDL infrastructure.
Use Cases[edit]
- Need a collaboration space on the web to work on a project application?
- Want to publish something like the sengbusch collection?
Wordpress μ Blog[edit]
Wordpress isn't only a blogging software. It can easily serve as CMS. New blogs in our installation can be created by Lars and Robert, same goes for user accounts.
The Good[edit]
- relatively easy to change the layout, in particular because there are lots of themes to choose from.
- something like a "news" section is pretty much built-in - it's a blog after all.
- Interaction with the general public possible via comments.
The Bad[edit]
- when it comes to support for collaboration
And The Ugly[edit]
Examples[edit]
Colab Portal[edit]
As you currently read this information, you already discovered the colab wiki. It is a publicly available installation of the mediawiki software. Everybody can register for an account and start to create new pages or to modify existing articles.
The Good[edit]
- probably the easiest way to publish "single pieces" of information
The Bad[edit]
- layout is defined for complete installation
- very weak measures for access control
And The Ugly[edit]
Trac instance + Subversion repository[edit]
https://dev.livingreviews.org/projects/ Initial setup and user management can be done by Robert and André.
The Good[edit]
- very good support for collaboration, including relatively fine grained access control.
The Bad[edit]
- relatively hard to change the layout.
And The Ugly[edit]
- Served via HTTPS using a root certificate which isn't pre-installed in most browsers. Thus, not the first choice for public facing websites.
