- Best Practice I: How to accomplish a staging/production publishing workflow setup
I would love to know the best method to accomplish a staging/production publishing workflow setup. We have such inconsistent results when publishing we’d like to know all the ins and outs…how to set it up, how does the asynchronous publishing process work, what are the limitations, what does it do and what does it not do, etc.

- BP II: Setting up forms on a site using RedDot
I would like to learn/know/read about the solutions for setting up forms on a site using RedDot. It would be good to know the good and bad of the solutions available from more experienced users and perhaps a recommendation on the best.
Thanks!

- BP III: How you use Foundational and child projects
I would love to know more about how you use Foundational and child projects. We have experienced lots of pain trying to have a separate “staging” project and then needing to make manual updated to migrate changes from the staging to live project. Can you tell me a little more about how you use this concept? Are there any drawbacks? If this info is already somewhere, can you point me to it? Thanks!! Ashley

- Basics: How to get started with RedDot
Hi Markus,
I think this post is great idea.
My suggestion for a topic is “how to get started with RedDot”. Being still new to RedDot (user for about 2-3 months), I found that it was hard to get started.
Cheers,
Jamie

About the author:
Markus Giesen is a 28 years young, flexible RedDot CMS developer/consultant, formerly based in the south of germany. He was travelling around the world to find and offer solutions for a better world (in a very web based meaning). He just found a way to do that as a new member of the
Open Text Partner Areeba, located in Melbourne. In his freetime you will find him reading, snowboarding or travelling. You should
follow him on Twitter!
One year? Surely combined we should be able to do it in a month, two at most
More importantly – what is the poll deadline?
Hey Markus,
This poll is a great idea! I voted for the staging/publishing strategy which is especially challenging with Liveserver and workflows in the mix.
Happy New Year.

Right Adrian, I meant within a year could be sooner or later than the end of 2009!
But you are right and I added the exact poll deadline above!
Keep up the good work Markus
I’ll do my very best
But it’s no longer my own duty, even if it looks like we haven’t finished hibernation yet, hopefully we will soon publish some new postings.
A more in-depth look into the many uses of render tags would be great.
We know how to use render tags to read the content of a page in a container within the current page but how how going one level further?
For example: How can a list draw up element values from a page contained within a container of a child page using render tags?
I vote for the first one and the last one.
