We're depicting he wiki as if it was a maze of twisty little passages, all alike :-) If it seems so confusing, we should work on improving usability rather than helping people escape from it. I can't believe average people can't get used to Mediawiki, since the #2 most popular web site in the world is also based on it. > Other fixes that are necessary for smooth integration: > > * The wiki logo needs to link to the intro or "main" Ok. > * The menu bar at the top of the wiki should start with "main" or > "introduction" before "wiki", and link to the homepage Ok, I have a bug open for that. > * The wiki landing page http://sugarlabs.org/go/Main_Page in becoming > http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Main_Page will be clearly understood as > the main page for the wiki, but the title text needs to be updated to > reflect that: "Sugar Labs/Welcome to Sugar Labs" -> "Sugar > Labs/Welcome to the Sugar Labs wiki" It's currently the opposite: wiki.sugarlabs.org becomes sugarlabs.org. I'm not entirely against making this change, but the rationale for it shouldn't be protecting visitors from inadvertently seeing the wiki. > It's not a big problem that the wiki landing page has some redundant > material with the intro; streamlining can be done later.

I agree, but so far none of these points has been impeding users from finding the static web site by typing a canonical "www.sugarlabs.org" URL like you'd do for any other web site. -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://www.codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://www.sugarlabs.org/ _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
