Hi,
I have started to work out some plan for the projects (
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/ProjectsPages) as this was not started yet. I
like to know how we will distinguish this. I would like to  know what the
status  of the  Plone Software Center is and how the projects page shuld
relate t the product page (http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/GnomeProducts). my
guess is this the Plone guys are working on the module?

I understand the structure like this:

* Products (these are core GNOME applications, free software which are
hosted all over the world)
* Projects (so this can not be the same - I think this should rather be
ONLY the applications that are hosted on WGO. If not I really see not much
sense in two pages)

I also could imagine that one links other projects on this. As there are the
different teams. But this could be mixed but with "Get involved"

What I really would find important for the future would be more streamlined
project pages (software or not). What I am missing often are links to
standard pages that should be on the same spot (that would be mailing lists,
direct link to bugzilla, maybe news, screenshot,...).  Not sure if these
project pages have already been thought about or anybody works on this. If
not maybe somebody would like to try to make a mockup based on what we have
here http://www.gnome.org/projects/evince/
http://www.gnome.org/projects/epiphany/ and the new design (w header)?

I have read again the threads about gnomefiles.org but I think this really
does not help so much for our pages. I think GNOME itself is our main
product/project - and everything else is a sub project - these are more or
less far away from the GNOME core. What we should not do is to link away
from GNOME.org in 1st or 2nd level of wgo. So rather have some standard
pages for externaly hosted projects like Abiword and then link from these
pages. I think the project pages itself do not need to be moved before GNOME
2.18

Another open question is if we should have a subdomain or not. My suggestion
would be for now that we NOW just try to move every page in /projects to the
new CMS. We can move them step by step with rewrites, so that all old
projects will still be visible (thats how I would do it, but thats on the
sysadmin team to decide)

Any thoughts, comments, suggestions?

regards,

Thilo


BTW: I think maybe it would be better if web structure and GNOME releases
would not be synced because my feeling is that expecially when a release is
coming people tend to have less time, so maybe web restructuring would be
better at half-time of a release. I am not a developer - thats just a guess.
Personally I dont like different projects to have the same deadline.
