[Imc-drupal-dev] New Drupal6 IMC site

[levin at riseup.net]

hoi,
i'd like to propose that the IRC meeting to discuss possible  
co-ordination of drupal upgrades etc be moved two hours later, i.e.  
May 17th from 14:00-16:00 UTC/GMT in irc.indymedia.org#drupal-dev

i've also written a proposed agenda here (and included below):

http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/ImcDrupalDevSurvey

Proposed agenda for meeting Mar 17th 14:00-16:00 in #drupal-dev

* preconditions: survey. finish and email it. if no one responds then  
don't bother?
* if yes, what (cvs/svn?) and where (server?)
* how (e.g. cvs tags, branches?) and who (whoever can!)
* and where for a dev and testing installation?
* setting up an announce list for upgrade and bug fix announcements.


i suggest a precondition to doing anything is doing a survey and  
seeing if there is real interest and getting details about how the  
almost 40 drupal IMCs are actually doing things. my first go at the  
survey is also on the wiki.

please edit/change/suggest anything...
