[Evergreen-web-team] Content Census

[Stephen Wills]

Hi Webby Folk,

So, here it is, a month later and because we have a board meeting  
today, I am dragging my lazy bones through the web team/communications  
group mail list looking for something productive to say.

I can't find my copy of Alexey's spreadsheet so I dropped back to  
the .git repository.  I propose another strategy for the coming month:

Why don't I study the .php in the current repository and see if I can  
write a quick extraction tool that will parse the checked in PHP and  
produce raw Drupal nodes in XML format that we can batch load into the  
demo?  We use similar techniques to move content around the  
Computerworld and sister sites here all the time.  Using this  
technique will eliminate the initial need  for developing more content  
target lists and whipping up the volunteers to cut and paste that  
content onto the site.

Once that is done, hopefully by next month, we can take another look  
at the site and see what is still skin and bone and put out a call for  
help in specific content sections.

If I can accomplish this Goal, we will still have two months in which  
to pull together a presentation for the conference.

What does the team think of this idea?
