[OpenFontLibrary] Open Font Library Summer of Glory

[Dave Crossland]

Hi Everyone!

Fabricatoz Jon Philips and Christopher Adams and Ricard Lafuente and
Ana Carvalho of Manufactura Independente have been working hard this
last month on Open Font Library and the 0.3 blueprint is going to be
marked as 'RELEASED' today!

The big feature is the "Member Roles" - if you would like to help keep
the font collection libre licensed, high quality, and do other
'librarian' tasks, please ask on this list and Christopher Adams will
set your profile on the site to 'librarian' status :-) You will then
see the new management interface that allows you to flag fonts for
review, and so on. I hope Christopher can follow up on this thread
with more! :-)

Work is starting now on 0.4 with 4 goals in mind:

1. Release the design work that Ricard and Ana at MI have done and
blogged about at http://blog.manufacturaindependente.org/ across the
whole site - be sure to check this blog!

2. Release the translation system with the new design

3. Release the notifications system (email, RSS, tweet/dent, etc)

4. Release the new mediawiki Guidebook design and cleaned up content

Fabricatoz and Manufactura Independente will be working closely on all
4 outcomes!

If you want to report bugs with 0.3, please file them against 0.4 at
https://launchpad.net/openfontlibrary/+milestone/0.4 over the next few
