Hi guys, I haven't read this thread entirely, but here are my 2 cents anyway. I'm sorry in advance if I'm talking about stuff that has been discussed before.
In my opinion, there has to be a distinction between osflash, its usergroups and its mailinglists. While it is preferable to have a seperate space per usergroup, I think that projects, tutorials, etc should stay in 1 place being osflash.org with the possibility of making every single page localized. That way, the structure of the wiki and its content stays the same for every locale which makes it much easier to understand, find and maintain. I don't know what the possibilities are with the current Wiki software, but maybe someone could throw a light on this. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind if every usergroup had its own site on a subdomain of osflash.org. What about belgium.osflash.org, netherlands.osflash.org, italy.osflash.org, etc for the sites of the usergroups vs. osflash.be, osflash.nl, osflash.it, etc. The intention of the usergroup sites should be to form a local community where arrangements and announcements can be made for meetings. Its intention should not be to form a new community with own tutorials, examples, etc. or at least that's what I think. Just some thoughts. regards, Christophe Peter Elst wrote: >>Then if we all drive to osflash.org/user_groups/language it would be >>nice if that usergroup can have it's own (navigation like) structure >>(and i do not mean a TOC here, but in the menu at the left. >>Now it's always al projects in the menu, while it would be wishfull (i >>guess) to have that space in the menu to put the usergroup navigation in >>(then the TOC can be used for it's purposes). >> >> > >Sounds like a good suggestion Folkert -- actually wanted to raise the >question of 'local projects'.
