So please let us focus on the present work - when it is done, any other 
tool can be considered if it fits better.

Thank you Michael for these well-thought words.

At the moment we're in the end phase before our release (you all know 
that RC 4 is out?).

The Features page needs to be finished before the release - so we should 
stick with the present solution.

Please again: Let us continue working on the *present site*.

Here we need to find out, what is necessary to finish before the the 
release.

There are areas that need urgent work, others are not so important, but 
should be addressed too.

Christoph wanted to come up with a structured wiki page where these 
tasks can be added and prioritized. I don't know if he already did some 
work on this...

Perhaps the most urgent tasks can be addressed before the call - 
everything else should be discussed IMHO.

Best regards

Bernhard

PS: Proposing Drupal solutions for any task seems not to be the best way 
at this very special situation. Even if there might be modules for such 
tasks, this doesn't help at the moment. The SC asked the Drupal 
proponents to step back with these proposals - not because Drupal is no 
solution for LibreOffice, but because these proposals caused lots of 
mails in the past, leading to unproductivity and bad feelings on each side.

Please let us keep focused on the work at the moment. When the present 
site is in a final state, the team has shown how it works and Drupal has 
lost it's "red rag" meaning to some community members, we can consider 
all of these possibilities. To keep the proposals in mind, they should 
be added to the wiki.

Does this sound reasonable?
