NON-FUNCTIONING TEMPLATE
+ I was unable to get to the Hosted Service page? http://
wiki.osafoundation.org/Journal/OSAFHostedServiceSidebar
I must have forgotten to create one at the time. I just created one,
so the link should work now. All I did was add the News.
ADDITIONAL TEMPLATES
+ Should we have a template for the Ops team as well?
I'm guessing Katie can answer this one, but I can create one if you
need me to.
+ Should we have templates for each Wiki area? Product, Planning,
Engineering, Teams, Notes?
Isn't that what I originally did w/ the one column and the two
column? http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Journal/
PreviewWikiTemplateHome
Or are you saying they should all look the same?
EDITING TEMPLATES
+ Is there a way to make the Title of the include a part of the
include?
I'm not sure what you mean by the 'Title'?
I find that to make changes to an include, I need to edit the
include title on every page *and* edit the include page as well.
I think originally there would not be so many things to edit. You may
be updating the 'News' regularly, but the Apps side bar, QA side bar,
etc., most of them will stay the same.
+ Is there a way to make a dividing line at the bottom of a
template? In particular, the OSAFSidebar template?
Add '---' at the bottom of the wiki page?
TWEAKS TO THE TEAM TEMPLATES
+ I changed the 'Team' header on the Team templates to 'People'
because sometimes, we will be using the 'Team' header to denote
what 'Team' is affiliated with a particular wiki area (e.g. the
Planning Wiki area is managed by the Team: PPD)
Using 'People' as a title just doesn't seem right to me. I might
suggest 'Teams' and links to the 'Apps Team' or 'Platform Team'. And
when you click on it will take you to a teams page. Or the Teams web
home, which is giving the user a high level view of the organization.
If you want to be specific of the team members, then perhaps you
could use 'Team Member' if you're looking at the PPD team (wiki
homepage?)
Based on your original taxonomy work: http://wiki.osafoundation.org/
pub/Journal/WikiReTaxonomy/041PPD_Team_Page.png
For example in Cosmo, it may be useful for users coming to the wiki
to understand who the committers are so if someone comes along and
are interested in contributing some code to a particular part of the
app, they would know who to ask. A link on the right hand side bar to
the Cosmo team page is sufficient to me. Listing all the team members
and identifying who the ppl do not seem necessary to me.
From my understanding the rights side bar is not supposed to be a
right navigational element, but more of an aid for announcements and
perhaps relevant cross links to the wiki page you are looking at.
+ What else should go in the Team Templates? We can discuss this at
tomorrow's Wiki Gardening Session.
Ok.
TEAM INCLUDE
Priss, how do you imagine we'll use http://wiki.osafoundation.org/
bin/view/Journal/PreviewWikiTeamInclude?
Like I said, I originally built the template based on your taxonomy
work. You'll notice you were using 'Teams' in various different ways:
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/Journal/WikiReTaxonomy (which is why I
had built so many includes and had them be customize-able for each
wiki section).
