Hi, team.
Firstly, just let me say that my hat is off for you, Geoff, for yet
another
magnificent idea.

I agree with Svetlana. And I still tend to want to designate parent
pages separately from other important pages, although this may
simply be
due to the way I process information. If we do decide to include
non-parent pages in caps, perhaps something like putting "parent" in
parenthesis after the page name.
That would work since you are already inserting the wiki page's link
along with the text. PAGENAME (parent) works.
Svetlana Belkin
Goeff and David, what do you think about that?
I agree with Leigh and Svetlana. I think it would be preferable to
have a
way of distinguishing between a parent page, which by itself is
important,
and important pages that aren't parent pages, and the solution of
using the
term "Parent" between parenthesis after the page name is perfect.
Regarding the insertion of a note/warning in the Face-Page, Geoff
is right.
There is place for that insertion, without cluttering the Face-Page.
Maybe something like:
"Pages listed with the word *"Parent"* between parenthesis after their
name, are parent pages of the page's topic.
Pages listed in *CAPITALS* are generally considered of greater
importance
or interest."
When we all agree on the final wording version of that banner, I'll
add it
to the Face-Page.
As for the decision process to be taken, on which pages are
important or of
interest, I'm inclined to a vote/poll held on the forum's thread. That
would not only bring an extra focus on what we're doing but a
continuous
one. Desirably people would get a feel of participation and
commitment with
the NewDocs project and maybe it could turn out to be a sort of a
recruitment process.
And last, but not the least, I see as very important the NewDocs'
"consumers opinion of what is/should be regarded as important.
Cheers,
David

Hi Team,
Having thought the matter over overnight, I admit I had gone a
little off the idea, but I am back
on board now. Personally I think the simpler version is best. I'd be
guessing, but I had thought the
pages in Capitals would maybe make up 2 - 5 % of the total. As it is
most likely that the choices
would be Parent pages, I don't think they need to be labelled such
at all. If the Page is important
but not a Parent then it does not matter. The change over would take
some time. The users could be
advised of our intentions and asked on the thread to let us know of
any pages that should be in
Capitals. Anyway those are my current thoughts - now off to do the
regular Posting.
Cheers,
Geoff.
Hi Team,
David, just wished you to know that I agree with the points you
raised in your last comments.
Also wanted to thank you for your kind words about me, although they
were not necessary.
Cheers,
Geoff.
Hi team,
Should we take a vote on whether we go for marking a Parent page
between parenthesis? My vote would be no,
mainly because I think as I think that as most of the pages would be
Parents, it would be unnecessary. I think that
the general appearance would also be spoilt with so many pages marked
with parenthesis. Anyway I will leave it
to the rest of you to make the final decision.
Cheers and have a good weekend,
Geoff.
Hi again Team,
Having read the thread a little more carefully, it seems that I would be
outvoted. Finally though, would users expect
all Parent Pages to be so marked? If that was the case and if
implemented, that may be a relatively high proportion
of pages.
Cheers,
Geoff.
