I'd also suggest we have a div box at the top of each Topic page summarizing what kinds of things should go in that section. To help recipe writers no where to put their recipes. Granted, they'll put them where they want, but guidelines might help some. Also when searching, we might have these topic pages show up near the top, or bolded or something... Second I'd suggest over time, we also put links near the top to some of the pertinent documentation pages (PmWiki), as some people may be looking for stuff already in Core, and just don't realize it. And maybe some things should be moved around. For example, Cookbook.Forms should probably be in PmWiki.Forms, though there are some Tips & Tricks on the page that might deserve to be in the cookbook... There might also be links to special pages that compare the different recipes like the one comparing forms, or the one discussing various approaches to Hierarchical Groups. These should perhaps be listed separately to indicate they help in narrowing down choices without giving actual solutions themselves. Also, Pm, don't forget your idea about having an input form for people to ask questions. That should probably be somewhere on the new homepage of the cookbook, with a careful disclaimer that general FAQ kind of stuff should probably go to the mailing list, while solutions wanted kind of things might do better in the cookbook. Anyway, just some thoughts. As it settles down a bit I'm sure we'll all have clearer ideas about what we like/don't like... A huge improvement already. I like it a lot! Cheers, Dan PS. I would still like to see the FAQ section reworked also, where all the questions are listed in a table, for easy perusing, and then you click on one to see the answer. A special group for this perhaps? It could be done very similarly, using textvars and a pagelist for easy maintenance. (And an input box for asking the question). Just much easier to read. _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
