Tom, Thanks for helping to move Tuscany website content to CWIKI. I like the the left navigation bar. We could use this opportunity to simplify the site and make it more user friendly. For example, we might want to re-think the way we handle languages and put some thought into how to highlight scripting languages. First step will be to move the data and then we can re-arrange a lot of this to make it more readable. I'll work on the simplification of the presentation in parallel with what you are doing. I'll probably do a mock up on another page and move it once everyone agrees to it. Haleh

I like the idea of having a side navigator; a little concerned of the potential maintenance overhead of this on each wiki page that needs a navigator (although I guess it isn't needed on every page ?), but we'll only find out once we have a reasonable body of work, so I'll go with Simon's "give it a spin and see how it goes" There is/was also a thread about wiki versus web site @ http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg12431.html which I'm not sure reached any conclusion about what content (if any) should remain on the web site and what should move to the wiki.... It seems a shame to loose the Tuscany L&F; perhaps the number of people who have offered to help with the wiki based documentation outweighs the value of the Tuscany L&F - it's not like the cwiki is ugly :) On 14/02/07, Simon Laws <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 2/13/07, Jean-Sebastien Delfino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > [snip] > > Tom Seelbach wrote: > > > If the wiki was switched to a "left menu theme" it would probably > > > apply to the whole space. > > > That would not work well for Tuscany since it has 3 separate projects > > > (sca, sdo, das) as well as 2 implementations (java, cpp). > > > i.e. the site is very complicated and it wouldn't be worth it to carry > > > that left menu everywhere.
