There are 2 separate pages. 1 for the Wiki Homepage which describes the

So that was my confusion. We need to have an URL that is not
chandlerproject.org for the Wiki Homepage.
Any thoughts?
I'm solid on the proposal and status now, too.
For next steps, I worry that the two will remain somewhat confusing as
long as they sorta feel like "2 home pages, for different things".
To me, the landing page has more weight and prominence. It's at the top
of the URL space, it's shortest, it's at the "root". It's clearly *the*
homepage, if we stopped counting at one.
The wiki homepage seems to fall into an "about this wiki" category. It
nicely explains the wiki areas, and provides links to all the regular
wiki navigation and even some deep links. But once reviewed, wiki
travelers are likely to favor the the left and top nav.
A couple of thoughts:
* It's a little weird that the landing page has one more link than the
regular wiki left nav (to "Project Wiki"). I wonder if there's a way to
keep the list the same between homepage and wiki while leaving it
obvious that there's an "about this wiki" page (ChandlerProjectHome).
Or could put "Project Wiki" in the wiki left-nav and have it go to
ChandlerProjectHome too.
* It's too bad that really the only wiki nav that's missing from the
landing page is the top-nav areas (Product, Teams, Develop, Notes). I
feel like I'll end up clicking down into the wiki home just to get the
area nav, instead of actually needing the "intro" again.
* It certainly seems like the page could stay reasonably where it is,
and use that as a final URL. I don't know that a new URL would add much
unless we wish to make that page more official than being linked to
* If you've arguments against Product/ChandlerProjectHome as a final
location, we can consider something like Main/WebHome. I've cut-and
pasted the content of ChandlerProjectHome into there (removing the
redirect), so you can try it out.
This has probably been implicit, but where do you see the "Chandler
Project" graphic logos linked to, assuming they do? Probably the
ChandlerProjectHome would make the most sense given the current design.
Overall it feels like we're close to having a perfectly workable
solution to getting the landing page and wiki home resolved pretty
quick. With recent CSS hacking on the landing page, I'm eager to post
it now!
