Hello,
We should remove the about box: we don't need to see the creator, modification date and state of a document; it's a useful feature for a small groupware, but not very relevent for a collaborative portal.
ok, I think you are skinning, so just do this (http://testpd.iem.at/manage_propertiesForm )
and also add/remove/edit the right_slots and left_slots properties on in the folders if needed.
Do we need the navigation box, or so ?
Yes. That's the only box that should show at the left, in any context. This box needs room to expand.
ok.
Do we use the event system and calendar ?
Definitely, along with the calendar box.
ok.
I could propose, that if you anoymous, there should be no boxes left (so you can view with a pda too).
The pda view could be implemented as a pda skin and set in the user's preferences. Anonymous users needs the navigation box, so they can navigate ...
I agree.
if you log in you get at least an navigation box, reviewer box (only reviewers) and about box.
The entire site should be accessible to all users (except private or group content), and registered users could contribute. Only some sections could be opened to anonymous users like forums and wikis, but these anonymous features should be in a "Anonymous" folder (or some other name), to emphasis the fact that "real" contributions are possible only when registered. Registered users should be able to create and maintain their own forums, wikis, blogs, etc, and give access of these features to all registered users, selected registered users, or anynymous users.
thats ok. I also have to note, that Collector and Wiki have an own workflow, where subpages or collector can be open to anonymous.
communication sections: About, Info (Exchange)
The Exchange section should aggregate and reflect what registered users puts in their folders. All contributions should be made from personal folders. For example when a new user is created, a hierarchy of default contribution folders would be created (patches, abstractions, externals, art, etc). A master "Exchange" index, with search capability, would list what users have contributed from their personal folders. It's the Plone way...
Ok that has some logic.
there could be the event box and news box on the right side.
Yes, like it is right now in the "about" section, with the calendar box. The about section should be made the default section instead of the news section.
agree too.
