Yay! Thanks for stepping up to the tasks, Marco and Nicolas. I think this plan makes sense, and it will definitely be worth the effort.
Nicolas, I think your plans sound good. It makes sense to also document the guidelines we come up with on the site. The docs/site_docs section seems appropriate for what you've just written up. I also wrote some comments inline below: On Feb 19, 2012, at 6:35 PM, Marco Donnarumma wrote: > This approach sounds good to me too. > I can manage the exhibition page, Nicholas the community section (I guess we > could collaborate on that, so to swap the needed page), and perhaps somebody > else will come up. > > It might be well worth the effort. > > M > > > > On Sun, Feb 19, 2012 at 6:04 AM, Nicolas Montgermont > <nicolas_montgerm...@yahoo.fr> wrote: > > > Le 16/02/12 03:45, Hans-Christoph Steiner a écrit : > > I think you should take on the structure of the /community/ section and try > to make it clearer.

I would like to see the whole /community/projects/software section just be permanently moved to /downloads/ and then put redirect rules for backward compatibility. I think IOhannes said he was OK with that too. Mostly, its a matter of someone figuring out how to do it. > - Pd art / Pd music / tracks / ... should go into the "exhibition" Those are a bit different. The exhibition has one strict rule: no self-promotion. That is the most open yet curated form that we could come up with when we organized it. And I think it still makes sense. Then, there are other areas for self-promotion. As for that section, it doesn't seem to be used much, so it could go awy. > - patchings circles and local pd groups can be subsection of a bigger > "meetings" category. > - member downloads should include pd patches / projects that doesn't take the > shape of librairies. I think the 'member downloads' section is obsolete. People can either post things on their own member pages, or they can add them to the /downloads/ section. > * every sub section must have a formatted page, even if it's a folder > > * creating folder should be disabled for standard members to prevent having a > complex menu on the left. but users may create page/content in the member > download / meetings / convention topics. One possibility is using Wiki Folders for the whole community section, then everything would be wiki pages, and there would not be more levels of folders. I think there is a way to add a Wiki Page to the left menu under the community section, but I don't know how off hand. > * users can edit all pages. except maybe the "community" one. As for editing restrictions, I don't think we need any. There has really be very few bad edits that needed to be reverted, from what I've seen. I think it'll be a lot more work for everyone to manage the restrictions than just handle the very occasional bad edits. If it does become a problem, we can revisit that. > * How can I easily know who has worked in that section? when i hit "history" > i only have a possiblity to reverse the last edit. The History browser isn't so easy to follow, but you can go back thru all of the edits if its a wiki page.
