FIG.org Task List

These are roughly in order of priority...

• Finish rewriting the Vision.
• A glossary, to reduce confusion for new people. Link the acronyms page to the definition of FIG.
• Here are some specific roles that need to be filled:
  • web page guru (HTML and layout wizard)
  • graphic artist, for logos, and anything else they feel would fit our project
  • creative writer/visionary
  • legal beagle - somebody who is authoritative on international copyright laws
  • journalist/editor, in the sense of being able to clearly and minimally communicate written ideas, including refining other peoples' shots in the dark
• Help Michael put together a home page, since he doesn't know much about computers.
• Switch from Texinfo to DocBook when it is stable enough, or another SGML equivalent that would allow us to make really spiffy HTML and printed output.
• Work on standardizing digital pedigrees, and writing more tools.
• Computer resources are also important: we want to administer our own mailing lists and web site (preferably GNU or GNU/Linux boxes, but we'll accept {Free,Net,Open}BSD boxes, too... just so long as we can run only free software)
• FIG.org needs strong crypto (just for authenticity and integrity, not confidentiality). Support the psst... and GPG projects to replace SSH and PGP.
• Write some HTML coding standards that FIG.org adheres to, so that other FIGs have some general guidelines on how to make their site work well. Implement as much of it in software as is possible, much like Autoconf and Automake did for the GNU standards.
