foobar platform pre-decision

[Ian Weller]

At the meeting today there was general consensus to use Zikula for the
Foobar project, mostly under the reasoning of "kill two birds with one
stone" (Docs Project is also using Zikula) and "upstream is awesome"
(Zikula devs are very responsive to the needs of Docs, and will be
responsive to the needs of Marketing)

We're leaving the subject open until next meeting unless there is a
major blocker that isn't solved by that time. Flame away!

HUGE +1 on this from me... all my experiences with news.fp.o suggest
that working with other teams on a project like this is a must. The
work to ensure that an application is acceptable to infra, e.g. safe
and packaged etc, is not insignificant, neither is making sure that it
is all configured to meet requirements. Basically, the more the
merrier :)

And me - it sounds like this isn't just killing N birds with one stone - 
it sounds like the Zikula effort already *has* huge, rapidly-moving, 
heat-tracking, dead-accurate stones with frickin' laser beams strapped 
to 'em, and is motioning at the flock of birds above and saying "...just 
point to the birds you want. Yes. Any bird..." as the stones slice 
through the flock as upstream whistles directions, dropping quails into 
the open bags of the other Fedora teams...

Er. Well, maybe that's a bit much. But +1 from me on Zikula as well.
