Hi Yo,

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! ;)
So, lets go on to improve it :-)
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.
I somehow have a feeling, but anyway, first we should know what we want
to achieve, technical issues can be tackled later on ...
There is an Art wiki for instance but no link or explanation about it on the
Art frontpage.
You mean http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/index.html ? Never have
seen that before ... couldn't find the Art wiki though.
The Sitemap http://www.openoffice.org/sitemap.html doesn't mention the wiki at
all
Yeah, seems that we want to keep some things secret ;-)
There is a marketing wiki but again no mention or link to it on the front
page.
Some links are pointing into the wiki, but please see below.
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
I for myself basically differentiate between
- users, using Writer or Calc etc.,
- developers, using the API in one or the other way e.g. from Java or
C++, and
- implementors, wanting to contribute to OOos code base.
Different people have different needs, though I am not a friend of
artificially separating these groups, but may be to just provide
different views to the site.
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.
The wiki is actually just a workaround for Collab not being able or
willing to provide wiki functionality for the main site, IMHO we _do_
_not_ want to have more than one site, but just want to use simple
editing capabilities wikis do provide.
Cheers
Yo
Kay
