Re: [Orgmode] Worg needs some reorganizing

2011-01-15 Thread Samuel Wales
I am glad to find that Worg will be reorganized.  Great content there.

A strong recommendation for accessibility: if you try a sidebar,
please test it with the maximum value for minimum font size in
Firefox.  Check for hidden text, overlapping text, and annoying
scrollbars.  This is true for any website, actually.  Tou can put this
recommendation in any place where you do standard reviews of websites,
including Worg.

Thanks.

Samuel

Shaking up this great thread.

A small idea: maybe we can use more tags/properties/categories in Worg
and define some agenda views that everyone could use?

Of course, org-issues.org is the first file I would like to have agenda
views for.  I will post the one I use when set.

Thanks,

Yeah, this sounds neat. I'd like something for my own web. I use
wiki-style linking for site navigation so far (like worg), but if we
could use tags to organize posts and then have a sidebar or top
tab-style navigation auto-inserted into the  element, that would
be ueber-cool.

Ohhh -- that's fantastic. Categorize so that each entry can be found in
multiple ways. I really like that. Somewhat of a blend between wiki
intra-linking and bloggish tag cloud browsability?

Maybe if these different organizational schema (usage level, function,
etc...) were captured as tags in the Org-mode files, then the respective
indices could be generated as part of the automated publishing.

I think that part of the problem is that worg has now grown so big (a 
good thing), it's quite hard to find things just by browsing. The front 
page is basically just a big list. Once you have browsed around for a 
while, it's very easy to get lost.


Eric's idea of a sidebar showing where you are and making it easier to 
get somewhere else is a good idea.


Maybe we are reaching the limits of what can be achieved using 
org-publish alone and should consider some other tool as well, such as 
jekyll? This would need to be done in a way that still allowed easy user 
contributions and an automated build process.

Great topic. I agree. This will be quite the overhaul! Perhaps we should
propose some type of organizing scheme? By level of usage (beg,
intermediate, adv?), by functional use (notes, todos, exporting, math,

That's a great idea as well. We should definitely find something that is
self-updating. I would think that really thinking through the structure of
Worg and integrating that into the directory structure of the git repo would
help with that?

Worg could do with some reorganization. It is not at all easy to find
stuff in there (at least, using a web browser). I don't currently use
Org to publish a website so I may be missing lots of tricks here, but I
see two problems at least:

1. There is no clear distinction between files in the root folder and
   files in org-tutorials/. Probably also org-configs/ and org-contrib/
   could be added to this list (people don't know what's in contrib and
   what is in Org and what is just somewhere else on the web)
2. Worse, aIui we are relying on manual maintenance of index pages, with
   results like the above.

This suggests to me firstly that we should do away with some of the hard
directory structure and place most/all of the config/tutorial type files
in a single directory.

Secondly, does Org possess any technology that can be used to
automatically generate a useful index for Worg? Or
alternately/additionally a sitemap or other automated representation of
the full file/directory structure (e.g. using org-fstree[1])?
