FrontPage

[Bradley Coleman]

this is great!

how do you guys work on stuff?  i was thinking it would be cool if there
were a special irc channel for our team that we could pop in and talk
about this?

i'm looking at IdeasForNewFrontPageStructure.  a few things.  whats the
point of WIKI USER PROFILES?  do you propose to organize things by user
type?  i could be wrong, but that sounds kind of FAQish to me.  i can
picture large hard to search pages.  this philosophy assumes that people
will sit down and read the whole thing from start to finish.  this may
be, but is it in the spirt of a task oriented hierarchy?  then again, i
have no idea what the intent of this is.

that being said, i don't think there's anything wrong with a few of
those, in fact i can see how they would be very useful so long as there
are only a very small number of them.

i like how to use the wiki at the top.  if its at the bottom, people
might never figure out how to use it.

we should also have another link about guidelines for editing.  namely,
use the structure we make.  also perhaps guidelines can be created that
would prevent what happened to the java page from happening to any more.
or do you guys think that would be against the spirit of the wiki?

this a repeat from part of an email i sent yesterday ...

the Documentation heading, what does that mean?  isn't this all
documentation?  isn't anything that would be under Hardware
documentation also?

it would help if you put in there what was supposed to go in these
categories.  just a general idea.

FAQ.  sorry, just joined the jihad.

Installation Documentation.  this is installing the OS right?

Desktop Documentation, what would go in there?  that seems incredibly
general.

System Documentation, again, super general.
