It seems that denemo.org is in a somewhat disabled state - we have
people trying to setup accounts and getting no email, and people unable
to view pages.
Are you able to look into this?
I looked over the code on the server and scanned over the tiki documentation. The documentation demonstrates configuring the website through tiki itself. Unfortunately I don't see all the options so I can make any changes. I think we may have to do something like re-install the website have it point at the old database. The problem with having a website though send out email is that I would have to set up the server to use a MTA (Mail transport agent) like postfix or use smtp to have the mail relayed by another server. Most email providers will through our emails into the bulk or spam folder if we are not relayed by a reputable or white listed name. So this will take some work if that is really import for us to have a website that sends out emails to people. I think we need to think about the future of our website and what we truly need. I personally have never used the forum but maybe once. Then I forgot about it. I did not see any rss for the page so that I could be notified if there were changes made to the page. That would mean that people have to login to find out if anyone has written in the forum. If no one ever writes in the forum then they will quickly decide not to come back. We also have a facebook page that has its own news feed and members. So we have #irc, mailing list, denemo.org web forum, and facebook. I find this to be overwhelming. I can't keep up with all of that. Part of me says we should just create a highly simple website with minimalist features in git. Maybe we create a simple template in php or shell script. What do we need the website to do? Why would people go to it? Why would they want to comeback once they initially went to it? I would like to see documentation articles that contain youtube video demonstration on the documented features. Opinions anyone?
