Thanks for the feedback so far on the mockup. When I was doing some thinking I thought about just creating better 'layout' for listing and finding different sites but realised that would likely mean double up of entries. To some degree this is already happening with the Coworking Visa page and the 'Local Efforts' page.
I agree that the 'resources' links are hodge podge (grab bag) of links with varying degree of usefulness. They are also one of the major areas spammers hit due to the range of content/key words. Another area is I get emails from people asking for help adding/updating pages on the wiki as people are not used to it. This often happens after a spammer has come in and changed links etc. My comments are that we should take some of the new copy I did move it to the new site as an easy first step then think about how to maintain and sort the different areas on the wiki (I think we have three main areas, locations (active or in formation), Coworking Visa and resources. I tend to think that the locations (active, in formation and closed) and the Coworking Visa is very much benefit from some structure which a wiki is not the best suited to provide. Can I propose that some form of database is used for creating and updating coworking sites around the world that can then be linked from the wiki? Would coworking.com not be the ideal place for this? This means that the status and Coworking Visa aspects are just fields in the system and can be changed/updated as required. Also would be abel to track a location through its entire life from forming, opening, and for some closing. So in summary: Update the copy on the home page Think about how to represent the lifecyle of coworking locations Having right tool to do the right job (ie db vs wiki vs ?)
