The only that counts is the one on Sun's website. The rest have no bearing on where the project goes,or what it does. > Do you mean the project as a whole or the project as Writer or Uno?

Since OOo is run as a cathedral style project by Sun, that shouldn't make any difference. >>> http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Uno/Meta/Organization >> >> Stuff like that is going to be worse than the current situation. > Could you give more details ? Nobody outside the specific project is going to know the name of the project to find the answer to their question.

If the page describes how a specific project within OOo is organized, then call it either _Project_xwy (organization)_ or _Organization(Project xyz)_. > under wiki/Uno, pages related to but not belonging to Uno are located I am advocating for the elimination of everything between /wiki/and the page name. > elsewhere, categories are tried to be used in an orthogonal fashion, > e.g. "tutorial" for tutorials, "Spec" for specifications etc. Overview > pages are created with the help of DPL2 (Dynamic Page List), querying > for pages belonging to the overview. >> The idea here is that all that one has to do to find >> information is write >> http:://en.openoffice.org/wiki/whatever-the-person-is-looking-for. >> If that page doesn't exist, then they go to search. > That is what I tried to achieve, that you actually can guess the URL. Your design requires that they know what project something is in. [How many people know that the education was a sub-project under Ian, until he resigned that project.] How many people know that the library project is under marketing --- if they are even aware of its existence?

It may be that the page is not perfect and that an image would be I'm talking about the URL, not the content of the page. My criticism is general, because the organization as a whole is incomprehensible to anybody who hasn't been in a bureaucracy for twenty years, that requires ISO 9000 procedures to be followed to the letter. xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
