At the NLC meeting in Beijing, we discussed many ways we can improve
things on the Wiki for all the people who use the Wiki in all the
different languages.
One thing we discussed was standardizing the way we group pages into
subpages by topic and by language. The proposal is:
Group each language group on the Wiki under the ISO language code
for each language, and move existing User content under the
appropriate section of the Wiki.
- Advantages:
- Each language group then has a "base" or landing page for a
translated Main Page. eg for German it is http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/DE
- The standard structure means that breadcrumbs work consistently
across the wiki
- You can use Google to search inside a specific language group
- This should make it easier to navigate specific parts of the Wiki
- Interwiki linking is easier to standardize (using Wiki templates
etc)
- Disadvantages
- A lot of Wiki pages will need to be moved, but this can be
handled mostly by a WikiBot
- The new structure will need to be communicated to everyone so
that we all start using the new structures as they are implemented
- Other?
If everyone agrees to this structure change, I can start working
with each NLC group to move existing pages to the new structure.
NOTE: The Wiki engine will take care of redirecting links as pages
are moved. This change should not affect existing links (to old
structure) or external webpages that link into the Wiki. Those
links will be quietly redirected by the Wiki to the new page
locations.
I am in favour of this but we will also need to work on the users's
pedagogy. All these changes will be complex to train users. How-tos
might be very useful here.
best,
Charles.
