[General] Re: Portal taxonomy

Mon, 10 Apr 2006 12:04:01 -0700

My seven cents:
  • Regarding The "Sidebar" PDF - I'm sure Newbies is supposed to be replaced with something less colloquial, but is this "Newbies" meaning new developers or new users? Are we planning on user and/or sysadmin docs? i.e. how to deploy, how to share, etc?
  • Regarding subsections.. here's my take on Chander front-end, here's a first stab:
    • Chandler UI
      • CPIA - some very general CPIA concepts - i.e. how blocks and widgets relate, how we use wxWidgets, etc - leaving out BranchPointBlock for now:
        • Blocks and Widgets
        • Events
        • Using wxPython APIs
      • Advanced CPIA
        • AttributeEditors
        • BranchPointBlock
      • The Chandler View (i.e. the root CPIA block)
        • The Sidebar
        • KindFilter buttons and views
        • The Calendar View
        • The Detail View
        • The MiniCalendar and Preview Areas
      • Scripting
      • Testing: Functional Tests
I'm probably leaving some stuff out here, but its a decent first cut I think...

It saddens me a bit that the developer documentation makes up such a tiny part of Ted's graph, but that's probably only a reflection of how we developers need to be giving him more feedback...:)

Hi folks,

I know that people aren't always able to get to messages in general@, so I'm sending this request directly as well.   I just posted a note with the current status of the portal project <http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/general/2006-April/000219.html>.   We could use some help from domain experts on parts of the taxonomy for the portal.   It would help a lot if you could take some time to look at what's there and give us some idea of what categories you think would be relevant to your team and/or projects.   Dont' feel that you need to make diagrams or whatever.  A reply to general with your thoughts would be great -- we'll take care of trying to sort it out.   

You're getting this message because either a) you work in an area that's been hard for us to flesh out or b) I have the impression that you really care about what's up with the portal/website/wiki.  I know that folks are busy right now, so if you feel that you don't have the time, please let me know so (no pressure intended).

Thanks,

Ted
