And it is a lot easier to "push down" pages in the category hierarchy as someone maintaining the category has it easier to decide into which subcategory to push a page, where again it can be picked up by a maintainer for the subcategory(*). When I find an uncategorized documentation page, I would like to make the documentation project aware of that, but without having to learn by what logic the doc project uses categories internally. > Then I'd suggest to use another category (like Doc/ToDo or similar) > instead of making the existing Category unusable just for a Test. see http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Ideastorm#Category:Documentation.2FIncoming I would guess that Documentation/Candidate would do? If so, we should consider such a category for all projects (e.g. Writer/Candidate etc.) using a consistent naming scheme so one does not have to search the categories first how this project named their "inbox" (something I really find annoying about the inconsistent naming of the NLC-projects). Best Regards, Bjoern (*)That being said the Documentation and Development Categories are way overcrowded (and also too generic as a "standalone" topics). -- =========================================================================== Sitz der Gesellschaft: Sun Microsystems GmbH, Sonnenallee 1, D-85551 Kirchheim-Heimstetten Amtsgericht Muenchen: HRB 161028 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Thomas Schroeder, Wolfgang Engels, Wolf Frenkel Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrates: Martin Haering =========================================================================== --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@documentation.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@documentation.openoffice.org
