Ok, I think I know where I got lost. You proposed we combine Get
Involved and For Developers (I think) and we had discussed /
decided earlier to combine For Developers with the Engineering Area
and call it Developer Area instead. So now I guess I'll go back to
asking why we need to have separate Community and Get Involved
pages. It seems like the 2 are 2 sides of the same coin. (Here's
how to get involved...Here's why we care about you getting involved
and what does it mean to get involved.)
Look at the difference in content between:
<http://chandler.osafoundation.org/getinvolved.php>
and
<http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/CommunityArea>
Assume that we delete the section called "get involved" from the
Community Area page. There's then very little overlap between those
two pages. I think that the two pages serve very different
purposes. One is a set of gentle onramps for people to find a way
to get involved based on tasks. The Community Area page is one level
above that -- it includes the governance, the various roles, etc. I
think that combining those pages puts too much information in a
single place.
Perhaps it's a matter of balancing the elements on that page? De-
emphasize the notes for example and blow up the Get Involved area.
I imagine this as a destination for understanding our open design
process, mailing list etiquette and best practices for discussing
issues and making decisions, etc...

Nope, that's not my proposal -- I think we need a developer area
and the more generic Get Involved page

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.
