community section modifications
by Nicolas Montgermont 01 Mar '12

Hello all, After examining the community section, here is what i plan to do: * pdwikiwiki : change state to private * deleted wiki page : change state to private * add folder : member downloads - move : Pd art / Pd patches / Pd music / Pd logos inside the "member downloads" folder - add in this folder a "Pd projects" smart folder that list all content with the "project" tag * move the organization folder and the patching circles wikis in a common "meetings" folder. * Remove the "Projects" folder, for that - remove the automatic listing of "Project" tag (why is this listing different projects when we are logged in?) - remove duplicate folders of the 3 conventions - move "Paradiddle", "Rradical" and "Assembling dedicated pd computer" in the "member downloads/Pd projects" page - move the "Software" to a root "/software" folder - what is the state of the exhibition folder here only accessible to members?? Is it somehow related to the root "exhibiton" folder or can it be simply deleted add redirections, specially for the download section. In a second step, i'ld like to try to use page to describe local contents instead of "Frontpage" element. I'd first test in some testing subfolder before to modifiy existing folders. But I think the layout of a page is much more simple than the layout of a wiki "Frontpage", specially when we are not logged in. Please, if you are ok with that or not, tell me. Same if you see something else, or if you see something to add aor to remove. I'd like to work on it these days, after that i won't have much time. Can one of the other admin do the most dangerous part: - move the "community/projects/software" folder to a root "/software" folder and adding a redirection from community/projects/software to that folder?

Pd web site architecture
by Nicolas Montgermont 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hello all, Great to see there is a specific mailing list about the pd website. I'm writing a mail here, in reaction of the discussion on the mailing list. I also feel that the pd web site is too complex to be easily used. I think there is two important problems: - the lack of symmetry between the menu on the left, and the main content. For example, if we click on "community" http://puredata.info/community in the main content, we have a page titled FrontPage (I know this is due to the plone architecture) and then we have a beautiful detailed list, but it's not the same with the list on the right. Worst is the "Subtopics" in the end of the Page that is often not so much related. This is specially visible in the "Documentation" category: http://puredata.info/docs where the effort of the FrontPage has not been done. I think this is an important step to facilitate exploration of the Pd website. - The complex sublevels / and unclear hierarchy For example : in the "docs" category, I think there is too much subtopics. "Tutorial / howtos" should be united with "workshop", and "style guide" must be a subtopic within this category I think. This problem leads to a hierarchy problem that makes categories important, when they should not. For example "Pd-logos" is at the time as important as "mailing-lists". I find this difficult for people to find informations, as well as to add informations in the good categories. Having a clear hierarchy, persistent over the years should improve both. These two topics are somehow related, what I should propose is to discuss a tree of the website, and then to create an architecture that could only be modified by admins, and that should last nearly the same for years. But adding articles in most of this categories / directory should be open to every member. The main problem I see, is how to move / reorganize all the existing content in a new architecture. and how to modifiy plone in a way i described first. Anyhow, I'll be glad to help to any evolution of the site, even if my knowledge of plone is limited. Best, Nicolas -- http://nim.on.free.fr
