The decisions as I understand them:

1) The current "Engineering Area" was to be renamed "Developer Area". All engineering documentation will live in this area, for example. The home page of this area will have a link like:
http://chandlerproject.org/Developer/WebHome (not active yet)

Jared is looking at picking the string in the URL, and the string that is used at the top. Until Jared pushes it out, it lives here:
http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/EngineeringArea

Ted and I are working on it.

2) Where we want links called "For Developers", the links should be to the top level of the developer wiki area:
http://chandlerproject.org/Developer/WebHome (not active yet)

Older content on existing "for developers" html pages is essentially depricated, it should be covered by this section. Ted and I are responsible for making sure that happens.

3) Ted is also working on a "Get Involved" page, which will be aimed at multiple audiences. This page should be linked to from various places, including the "developer area" home.

Cheers,
Katie

I think Ted's proposal was to change the Developers Area to a more generic Get Involved area. Ted?

I think "Developer", "Develop", or "Development" would all be reasonable options -- I don't feel particularly strongly about one over another.

The EngineeringArea is due to be pushed out as a new chandlerproject.org wiki area, at the same level as "Product" and "Teams". There are a couple options for the specific name to be used. "EngineeringArea" is due to become "DevelopersArea", which suggests "Developers" as wiki web area name. But "Develop" is shorter, and does not overlap conceptually with "Teams".
"Development" is also an option.
PPD are the drivers for the wiki taxonomy, but anyone is welcome to chime-in. Right now, I personally favor "Develop" for its brevity, but it doesn't feel perfect.
