“KM Weblogs” project was started towards the end of 2005 and we have not progressed due to various challenges like issues in finalizing the technology, availability of and central development server and varying objectives of project team members. One may go through the discussion forum that we had during the project at sourceforge project home to understand the challenges of the KM weblogs project team.  I would like to take this project forward by analysing issues, the lesions learnt from the project so far and suggesting the way forward. Scope and Technology Options: This project has shown us that it is very difficult to finalize the scope and the choice of technology by discussing the feature requests with all the developers. Hence the team is required to appoint a technical architect / development manager who should be allowed finalize technology options / Scope changes after discussing them with the project team members. Offcourse team members should be given enough opportunity to express their opinion within certain deadline. Development Platform: As we don’t have any central portal server, developers are required to install the sneak preview edition of Portal. Sneak preview Portal can be downloaded at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloads.   What are we trying to do? We are trying to create a web log system using the features of SAP Portal Knowledge management. If you understand the process of creating a weblog at SDN website, you know the requirements of this project too.   Webblogger will use WYSIWYG editor to create a weblog; the generated XML file will be stored in SAP Portal Knowledge management repositories. These XML files will be transformed either using KM Flexi UI or some other technology to the users.  Way forward: Having worked with multiple Portal & KM projects, I once again volunteer to be an architect / development manager and I invite my SDN colleagues to join me to take this project forward. We can have more than one architect/development manager, but it requires extreme co-ordination between the architects/development managers to run the project effectively.  Who can join the project?Any SDN member with SAP Portal / Web Programming experience How do I join the project?. Register yourself in sourceforge and join the project at http://sourceforge.net/projects/sdn-kmweblog
