Yeah. That's a good question. It's nice to have a proposal and comments
on the same wiki page, but then folks on the mailing list may miss out.
Improving Roller's URL structure is something that we all should be
aware of and discussion. It's a BIG change in Roller.
My personal preference is that we have the discussion on the mailing
list and then export things that seem concrete to the wiki. Having the
discussion directly on the wiki is just too hard IMO.
If the topic is large, like the new url proposal then we can break it up
into subtopics which can work through different email threads. i.e. we
could have a thread about file extensions in the new url structure which
would be separate from a discussion about query params vs. path based urls.

The NewURLStructure Wiki page is getting cluttered (my fault?) -- I
had to open two browser windows to compare Allen URL structure with
Dave's.
I'm to blame for the clutter too. I added a RefactorOK marker to my new
section(s) to indicate that anybody is encouraged to change, move and
even delete what I added.
That said, I'd like to see Dave's and Allen's URL sections merged
(once they agree?) as well as definitions for all the angle-bracketed
words like <list-of-tags> etc. (Sort of like BNF) It would also be
nice to have all the old URLs documented, so we can make sure to
implement all the correct redirects. Are the existing URLs (fully)
documented somewhere besides the source code?
Yes, it would be nice to systematically specify the new URL structure.
Would you like to do some of that work?
