Hi Sheila,
At a high level your proposal looks fine to me. See inline for some
questions on the details:

So I have been tasked with driving the effort to organize the Get
Involved wiki areas. Of course when I started to look at this,
there are a bunch of related links like For Developers, the FAQs
etc that we should look at too. As a first step I wanted to do an
inventory of the current links and what pages they go to. Here is
the current hierarchy....
+ We have a desktop landing page with links to....
+ Get Involved page
+ For Developers page
+ Product FAQ
+ We have a Cosmo landing page with links to....
+ Get Involved page
+ For Developers page
+ Product FAQ
For each of the landing pages, these links point to different pages
which are customized specifically for the particular product or
project.
+ The Product, Teams, Projects all have links on the left nav to
Get Involved, For Developers and the Product FAQ. but they are not
currently active. These pages are more general so we don't have the
context of pointing to a particular FAQ or Get Involved page.
Mimi and I chatted and we came up with the following proposal for
Preview.
Proposal:
+ Create single main pages for Get Involved, For Developers and the
FAQ. This means we can link to this single page from the main
landing page as well as all the wiki pages. We are looking at a
single centralized landing page for Preview anyhow and won't have
the 2 main pages that we do now.
+ Obviously there is different information specific to the end-user
related info and the server specific information so we would
structure these pages with sections or a table of contents so users
can easily get at the information they need. Alternatively, we
could keep the main page brief and create links to secondary pages
for product specific info.
+ In keeping with this structure we would generalize the "log a
bug" and "report a problem" information as well.
Mimi and I did a brainstorm of what type of information would go in
each page....
- Get Involved
- IRC
- Lists
- Feedback
- Log a bug
- Roles - ways to contribute
- Projects
I'm not sure what would go here - is this just a list of the various
OSAF projects?
- Help us page
I think that we need an overhaul of our approach to "Help us" -- I
was expecting to tackle that -- is that in line with your thinking here?
- Governance
- FAQ
- One FAQ with sections
- End user chandler desktop/hub/casual collaborator
- Server
What about Developer FAQ questions? Does that go here or under For
Developers
- For Developers
- One page with sections
- Server
- Web front end
- Desktop
I think that we could start with one page here, but that we will end
up needing a page each instead of a section each. But this is
probably a good start.
