That's exactly correct. Those "many other pages" are all of the active pages on the CaliforniaTeam wiki, including the homepage. Thus, anything linked on there is rather prominent. > From a layout perspective, there's no problem adding another link (or > 2) in that section; it currently has only 3 lines while one neighbor > has four and another has five. > > I look at the current "Get Involved" choices - "Projects" and "IRC > Meetings" and find that lacking. I agree that the layout could do with changing, but I disagree that arbitrarily adding one of our several projects to that section is the way to do that. I'd be more inclined to change the "Get Involved" section to a "Projects" section, and there link all of the active projects that are on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects . The "IRC Meetings" link is a duplicate anyway, so we wouldn't lose anything. In other words, the whole section would be changed to look something like this: '''[[CaliforniaTeam/Projects|Current Projects]]''' [[CaliforniaTeam/Projects/OSCON2009|OSCON 2009]] [[CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts|Contacting User Groups]] [[CaliforniaTeam/Projects/CDSleeves|Ubuntu CD Sleeves]] ... and we'd add the Podcast when it gets on its feet, and other projects as we start them. We don't generally have more than three or four things going at once anyway. I note here the implied view that UserGroupContacts is a project with the aim of contacting user groups to see how we can help them, whose page contains information that helps volunteers for that project organize and document who we've contacted. That implies that the information should not be re-purposed as a page for the general public about LUGs in California, because there are more appropriate places online for that, and because that's outside the mission of the wiki. Considering that I don't think anyone's brought this option up before (and that I didn't think it through much because I'm tired), I'd be interested in comments about it :) ~ Robert -- Robert Wall <robertlikesturt...@gmail.com> Web: http://www.rww.name/ OpenPGP fingerprint: EF31 62BC 85B2 0566 7732 B0B4 7B88 E371 6AB3 FC6C
