It would be nice to have plone upgraded. That's really up to IOhannnes, I think, since I think its only possible for him to do the work, given he manages that server.
About a totally open exhibition, perhaps we could have some kind of feed of people's projects, perhaps, where anyone can throw anything.

Before starting to work on this, could we consider upgrading plone? What i'm seeing from the plone website, the 4 version seems much more easy to use both for admin and users, it will be easier to manage content / and to improve layout / design. Iohannes do you think there is a possiblity of a secure upgrading from the version we have now? I mean with a backup somewhere, if it fails.

- the "software" and "exhibition" must get out of this section cause they are important topics, and have specific tabs in the menus.
I would like to see the whole /community/projects/software section just be permanently moved to /downloads/ and then put redirect rules for backward compatibility. I think IOhannes said he was OK with that too. Mostly, its a matter of someone figuring out how to do it.
ok
- Pd art / Pd music / tracks / ... should go into the "exhibition"
Those are a bit different. The exhibition has one strict rule: no self-promotion. That is the most open yet curated form that we could come up with when we organized it. And I think it still makes sense. Then, there are other areas for self-promotion. As for that section, it doesn't seem to be used much, so it could go awy.
mmm true. Maybe we can have two "levels" here. A featured section that is no self promotion, and an "other projects" category where people can simply add their stuff?
- patchings circles and local pd groups can be subsection of a bigger "meetings" category.
- member downloads should include pd patches / projects that doesn't take the shape of librairies.
I think the 'member downloads' section is obsolete. People can either post things on their own member pages, or they can add them to the /downloads/ section.
every sub section must have a formatted page, even if it's a folder
creating folder should be disabled for standard members to prevent having a complex menu on the left. but users may create page/content in the member download / meetings / convention topics.
One possibility is using Wiki Folders for the whole community section, then everything would be wiki pages, and there would not be more levels of folders. I think there is a way to add a Wiki Page to the left menu under the community section, but I don't know how off hand.
I'll get a look. But i'm not sure if "wiki pages" are not a trap here, i mean which other specificities do they have?
- users can edit all pages. except maybe the "community" one.
As for editing restrictions, I don't think we need any. There has really be very few bad edits that needed to be reverted, from what I've seen. I think it'll be a lot more work for everyone to manage the restrictions than just handle the very occasional bad edits. If it does become a problem, we can revisit that.
ok
- How can I easily know who has worked in that section? when i hit "history" i only have a possiblity to reverse the last edit.
The History browser isn't so easy to follow, but you can go back thru all of the edits if its a wiki page. Other kinds of pages are different.
- I was wandering if there is an easy possiblity to get rid of the "Frontpage" title, i've tested to create a page for my profile and to display it instead of the folder listing:
http://puredata.info/Members/nixhol it's working well, what is the difference with, for example the community folder? http://puredata.info/community
About the FrontPage title, I've gotten into weird loops where plone would then somehow automatically recreate a page called FrontPage, while leaving the one called Home. So I just gave up and went with using the default names.
a pity. upgrade? :) I have a bit of time this week, so maybe i'll start to work on this these days. Best, n
