Jonathon may be overstating it a little but not by much. Finding stuff on the Wiki is a mission, possibly it was designed by the same ones who designed issuezilla! ;) We do need a rethink of the way everything is mapped on the site. I don't however know how much (if any) we are restricted by the Collabnet framework. There is an Art wiki for instance but no link or explanation about it on the Art frontpage. The Sitemap http://www.openoffice.org/sitemap.html doesn't mention the wiki at all There is a marketing wiki but again no mention or link to it on the front page. We need to define what people come to the site for: The three largest headers would be off the top of my head: Download Learn Contribute It seems to me that the Wiki has been an addon which we haven't figured out how to deal with in terms of promotion and so forth. > > > xan > > > > jonathon > > Regards > > Kay Cheers Yo > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "GET LEGAL - GET OPENOFFICE.ORG" http://why.openoffice.org ISO 26300 compliant Graham Lauder, OpenOffice.org MarCon (Marketing Contact) NZ http://marketing.openoffice.org/contacts.html "GET DRESSED GET OOOGEAR" Promotional Gear for the discerning OOo Advocate http://www.ooogear.co.nz INGOTs Assessor Trainer (International Grades in Office Technologies) www.theingots.org.nz --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
