[OpenFontLibrary] The future of OFLB development

[Daniel Johnson]

Having looked at the required data model more in depth, and looking at my own feature wish list, I'm no longer convinced that Drupal is the right tool for this job. (Drupal doesn't handle hierarchical data models very elegantly.) I'd be curious to see what MediaWiki could do. From my own experience, this seems like something that could be best done in RoR or Symfony2, but I have no MediaWiki experience.

Regardless of the platform, I'd like to remain involved, whichever direction we go.

Cheers,
Daniel
