Hi people!
What's the status of the Dev Derby web dev requirements?
I remember it was kinda blocked by many bugzilla bugs related to MDN and a
suggestion was based to start with a simple location with the MDN looks.
I also looked at Discourse (where I asked about this long ago) but I
haven't found any news.
So, if it's frozen, lets spice it up a little and clean any possible
blockers.

Thanks for posting this!
Right, so what we need is a lead developer because we're going to have to
build something new to be able to handle different types of submissions. I
posted on the Reps list asking for volunteers and got about 8 (?). I asked
a couple times about a meeting time, if the current Thursday at 11am
Eastern Time (currently 3pm UTC but will shift to 4pm UTC in November) was
good but as I recall only one person responded. A couple of the people who
volunteered also said they wouldn't be able to help until this month, and
I've been busy with travel, so I really appreciate you bumping the
conversation back on track.
If people could dig up the meeting time conversation (don't forget you can
check our archives on google groups) and reply there, that would be great.
It has been suggested I use a doodle which is all well and good, but people
also need to be able to reply to conversations on the list, especially
people volunteering to be leads. ;) I can make a doodle if enough people
say the current meeting time is no good.
In terms of what the site needs, we'd like to be able to accept eg add-ons,
or marketplace apps, so we need some way to build a gallery of submissions,
that probably link to the submission on the host site. This is why we're
stalled because I can't possibly lead this part of the project and figure
out what the best way to do this is.

Ok, Thursdays @ 11am works for me now, if we don't make it too long!
I think the next steps for the first phase of the site would be:
- define where is it going to be located (under MDN, totally separate, etc)
- define the content (at least for an initial stage)
- build at least a rough mockup (pen and paper would do) of the content,
and maybe even iterate over that
Getting the code to work is not hard, the main task is to get the content
right, at least some initial structure and then we can jump to coding which
will be fast.
As for the tecnical aspects of it (how we are going to make the submissions
work, etc), we can ask for the Webdev guys for the best approach, and even
suggest a few.
But first, let's envision what the site should be, work over that and once
we are ready, we'll deal with the IT stuff and coding!
