Wiki migration

[Louise McCance-Price]

Hi guys

I'm Lu (IRC:lulu) and have just subscribed to your list.

I've been responsible for setting up the websites, defined the structure 
of the site with Alexander Limi and Mako, and then have been inputting 
the content and maintaining it with others.

I'm very encouraged to see how the doc team is doing so well and getting 
lots up there on the wiki and I'd like to work together with you guys on 
this, so we expand the site in a structured way. There's lots of 
development work happening.

A huge cleanup is required as you can see after SteveA's migration 
(thanks Steve :o)  We already have a documentation section in the 
Support menu. Are you using this yet?

Could we begin with moving documentation to the Documentation area, so 
that we don't duplicate content.
This is a standard plone Help Centre. It also has a search function. I 
have been migrating FAQs to this area over the last few weeks on an ad 
hoc basis.

If we can move the How Tos and FAQs into the Documentation area, that 
would be great.

There is a content type - tutorials, too. Adding new content types like 
guides/demos will need customisation, so let's use what we have so far.

== Standardising inputs ==

We need to have a standard way of structuring the inputs - take How To 
as an example.
The short title should not have any capital letters - this short title 
is what becomes the URL.
The title - do we say How To - xxxxxxxxxxxx or xxxxxxxxxxxxxx How 
To.........?
spelling is an issue - I've picked up quite a few, so we need to be very 
careful to check our work after putting it up there.

This help centre has a slightly different work flow to the rest of the 
site. Work can be in progress and therefore not published or visible, so 
we can work on stuff in this state offline.

The rest of the site is a mix of HTML and Structured text. For the 
average user, Structured text will be easier to learn.
We need to decide on one or the other, as with the Zwiki.


Please don't hesitate to get in touch if I can help in any way.

all the best
Lu
