Hi Priss,

Sheila, if you're okay with the new PPD Team page, I can replace
the old Design Group page with this one. http://

I realize this is really Sheila call, but there is just way too
much information on the right side bar for this page. I'm also not
familiar with what a 'Hub Server' is, perhaps just Server is fine
if you're currently linking to 0.7 release page.
I changed it to Server. I've also removed a few items. Does that feel
better? I know it's still a lot. I agree that we don't want to jam
too much in the RIGHTNAV, but I think having the x-links there are
preferable to having them on a separate page or in the body of the
wiki. It seems onerousl to make people go a separate page just to
list out 3-5 links. Keeping content that is concise (not too many
characters) out of the body of the wiki page also decreases the total
# of sections in the body content and shortens the page.
I think we just need to find the right balance of content in the
RIGHTNAV. Does anyone else have any thoughts about this issue?
My recommendation is to just keep to the high level pages and have
them link from there to the pages needed. Otherwise everything is
just getting lost—at least for me trying to access info on this
page. Also, I seem to have lost my left side nav on this page? It
seems to be located at the bottom of the wiki page.
Ooh, I figured out why this happens...it happens if you forget the
all-important %OSAFTEMPLATEEND% at the bottom :)
Priss, FYI, I have created a new OSAFSERVERSIDEBAR to replace the
old OSAFCOSMOSIDER. http://wiki.osafoundation.org/Journal/
OSAFServerSidebar
Ok. If you are going ahead and changing everything from 'Cosmo' to
'Server', then we probably want to change the titles in the quick
links as well. Or at least have Chandler Server (Cosmo) Blog—if we
are not going to revise the blog right away.
Done.
This conversation probably coincides with your request earlier to
remove the Cosmo name/logo entirely from the wiki.
I have created a new OSAFSAMPLESIDEBAR so that we can use it as a
RIGHTNAV example for instructions without it getting in the way of
any SERVERSIDEBAR pages. I can send out an updated version of her
instructions to the Wiki Gardeners.

Priss, are you okay with that?
Ok. I think I'm confused. So where/when do we use this side bar?
For other pages which may need a side bar besides the high
level teams page? Or is this a suggestion for adding the includes
to a sidebar?
This is just so that when you or I want to create example pages for
how to use the various wiki templates, we can do so with the
SampleSidebar, without contaminating real content.
Oh, I also started to notice changes in the left nav. Could I
request for a 'glossary' under Coming Soon?
Done. :)
Looks good. =)
Thanks,-Priscilla
