Hello fellow Neufreistadters!
I am glad to be here.
I have been brainstorming up a possbile outline for the proposed web portal described here:

Thanks to some helpful citizens, I have been piecing together the organization of our fine city and have come up with this:

I would love to see some discussion and comments on this proposed sitemap.
Is anyone working on the website now?
I would like to help build the proposed city government website.
I am a freelance web developer in RL and have quite a bit of experience designing and implementing complex websites like this.
I own a Linux server that is hosted at a professional datacenter.
I think that the best way to implement this is using my favorite development environment: the Catalyst Perl framework.
[url:2tvvrqi8]http://www.catalystframework.org/[/url:2tvvrqi8]
It easily allows complex projects comprised of many separate modules to be built, using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design paradigm.
This allows the module brains (the controller) to be completely separate from how the website looks (the view), and also separate from the database (the model).
In addition we could set up a Trac on the project, allowing the full contents of the codebase to be viewable by all citizens.
[url:2tvvrqi8]http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki[/url:2tvvrqi8]
This is a great project management tool for code, integrating an SVN client with a Wiki. It also allows tickets to be created describing bugs to be fixed or new requested features.
