Tasks done

Provide Adam with information on managing planet.l.o. Keep in mind at present time we still only have one person manning the planetmaster@l.o address that I know of.

Rename "news summary" <http://one.laptop.org/summary/> to just "summary", and "blog" <http://one.laptop.org/news/> to "news". Make the "news" link on the top bar link to "blog"/"news" rather than "news summary"/"summary" [easy, .5hr]

www-staging's admin interface is currently broken and has a security update needed. Do we still care about maintaining this? Is GT responsible for updates etc?
- Missing elements that make the site very very hard to use include: <http://www-staging.laptop.org/sites/default/files/js/js_1bbb809863cac0642b2327e031bcbf19.jsmin.js> and <http://www-staging.laptop.org/sites/default/files/css/css_378eb5dd4aab9b772744e904702acbb1.css>
  - <http://www-staging.laptop.org/admin> mention that those files are "not properly configured"

Fixing <http://one.laptop.org/news> took over an hour and a contact with Upstatement. The text was controlled via a "hacky title substitution". How many other things like this might we find that we want to change in the future?

I remember seeing a Wordpress→Drupal module looks like it has some support for path rewriting.

  WordPress redirects, attachments and custom fields are not imported, patches welcome.

Investigate the means by which we could import feeds a la planet.
- We'll want to have a subset of Planet syndicated, subject to manual approval [medium, 3hr]

Determine a migration path for URLs on the old blog.laptop.org instance to Drupal
- Current URL schemes are incompatible.

Figure out if we want to keep Wordpress for blog.l.o, and somehow integrate it with Drupal. This eliminates the above URL issue, but add new ones, namely:
- Unify visual style. b.l.o looks decidedly un-one.l.o-like.
- Single-user-login between Drupal and Wordpress.

Duplicate database for www-staging if it turns out to be needed, double check this.
