----

todo list to be completed before announcing the public availability of <http://www.ocamlcore.org>

* having a working forge service, in turn this means:

  - test the creation of a project with all the corresponding services

      * vcs (svn at the very minimum) (2008/02/06 -> OK)
      * forge mailing list (2008/02/27 -> OK)
      * upload/download (2008/02/27 -> OK)
      * tracker (2008/02/06 -> OK)
      * avoid creating forum (newly created project should follow template project)
      * ...

Note: This have not been tested 'in-a-row'. Still needs to be checked against a fresh project..
  
  - <s>do some clean up in mailing list/forge project (don't want to have a test-cvs-1 and bl
abla project when we released)</s>
    * removed blabla-2etez, blabla-commits, test-cvs-1-commits (using /var/lib/mailman/bin/rmlist -a)
    * removed test-cvs-1 and blabla from the forge

  - <s>fix mailing list admin moderation... (doesn't work since SSL enablement)</s>

  - have a specific theme (it could be simple, but we need one, inspired from INRIA/Caml one)

  - <s>check that feature requests via the forge interface do work</s> (done through the link below, a feature request for the forge itself)

  - <s>move the gforge data under /srv</s>

  - <s>backup the postgresql database using pg_dump daily instead of relying on the backup of `/var/lib/postgres/...`</s> (see incr_backup/full_backup, note that it doesn't dump "LARGE OBJECT", so i keep the backup of `/var/lib/postgres/...` for now)

* <s>write the terms of services for ocamlcore.org</s>

* <s>install a planet (planet.ocamlcore.org)</s>

* <s>get SSL certificat from cacert (S. Le Gall)</s>

* create at least hosting for darcs/git/hg(.ocamlcore.org) even if it is not integrated with the forge

* Web redirections:

 -> <s>HTTPS only once logged into the forge (connection with SSL), no need to overload the server when doing non authenticated navigation</s>

* what else?

* things that should be done on the long term (i.e. after the public annoucement) should be registered using [forge tracker](http://forge.ocamlcore.org/tracker/index.php?group_id=1&atid=102)

* Well done zack ! openid auth actually works !
