it seems to be a good start but probably some more main categories

reworked main page would help to navigate in and through the wiki.
Without categories, there will be an ever-growing number of obsolete,
outdated and orphaned pages. This is not a problem for navigation from
the main page, but it will make the search functionality of the wiki
more and more useless.
I think a common agreement on how to use categories and sub
categories would be more helpful.
Like:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Experience/SOP/Wiki/Categories
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Experience/SOP/Wiki/New_Wiki_Pages
for starters?
Yes, I think every new page should be in at least one category that is
a project (or a subcategory of a project).
Take a look for example on Tutorials. Clicking on the category shows
a lot of tutorials and when you expand the node in the main index you
get a sub category Basic:Tutorials. What does it mean, no other
tutorials or only a different usage of categories? Looks confusing to
me.
Yeah, right. But I think ordering the categories is the second step,
first we will need to get stuff into at least one category and make each
category a direct or indirect subcategory of MainIndex. Then we can
really see whats there and consolidate. That being said, I already did
some obvious cleanups along the way (like merging the "Project" and
"Projects" categories).
I miss for example the category "Conferences" and a related entry in
the main index. The same for "Marketing".
Huh? MainIndex -> Project -> Markting -> Conferences seems pretty
straightforward to me. That being said those _are_ already listed on
the frontpage.
ah i see, but Marketing is so important from my point of view that i
wouldn't have searched under "Project". Well but that is my personal
problem with all the "sub" projects.
For me it's still more natural to see the OpneOffice.org project with
several main entry points independent of any sub project.
Related to a "MainIndex" i would expect entry points like "Development",
"Documentation", "Marketing" ...
