<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear HOT:<br>
<br>
I think this is my first post to this list, so I should introduce
myself: I'm Felix from Germany living in Nicaragua for some years
now. I came to HOT as I was invited to speak at SOTM-US in San
Francisco about our Managua (Nicaragua's capital) mapping effort
on transit mapping [1]. I attended the BoF on HOT during the
conference and Mikel asked me to help out with the HOT website, as
I'm a Drupal developer for work. You are invited to check my
website [2] or drupal.org profile [3] for more information about
my person.<br>
<br>
Lately, I have been working together with Clara on the migration
of the Drupal 7 port and would like to get things pushed forward.
But please let me explain my motivation for that:<br>
<br>
IMHO the website is as good as it the actual live site, or even a
bit better, although there are some open issues. We have not
getting reported mayor concerns so far for the Drupal 7 port. But
we have a somehow a little annoying situation: We already migrated
content and everything from the old site to the new Drupal 7
version. So any new content and comments have to be added
manually now to the new website (or we would need an automatic
workflow which would be quite a lot of work). Therefore I spent
several hours on migrating newer content and comments form the old
site, added after the migration work started and I would rather
prefer to spend work into improving the website and fixing bugs,
than manual content migration.<br>
<br>
So I would like to ask you to check the new website [4], report
problems to our issue queue [5] And give Dražen and the website
team (Clara and myself) a thumbs up, so we can migrate anytime
soon, please.<br>
<br>
Thank you and have an excellent week.<br>
Felix<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
we are currently updating the HOT website (Drupal 7) - and we are
currently checking whether everything works as it should.
For now it's mainly a software upgrade, and we need some people to look
at it to see whether everything still works as you know it.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.dev.hotosm.org">http://www.dev.hotosm.org</a>
At the moment there aren't many real changes - new functionality will
come as a next step. For now we just need to know whether we have
overlooked something.
One thing that still needs fixing: the small maps for projects will use
the Humanitarian base layer.
-------------
And for those of you who have a login for the page there are three new
things:
*Text editor:* There now is a format called "Text editor" with buttons
to edit the text instead of writing HTML tags.
*Inserting images:* Updates have a new field for images, combined with
an "Insert button" to place them in the text.
*Languages:* All content can be marked as English or French. That's
currently not used further, but already set up.
I'll describe it in more detail once we are done.
----------------
So, please have a look around and tell us if anything looks broken -
either by email or on IRC.
greetings
clara
