Yes, it should be honed. The way to go in the long run is meta data. I'm just now trying to get a topic to work where Keyword=="Track" is the criterium. But somehow this doesn't work out yet.
Okay, now I figured it out: What is named "Keywords" in the Poperties view of a content item is called "Subject" in the criteria of a Topic.
Now it works just as expected: If you want to publish a track, you need to upload it, then go to edit the "Properties" of the file and select "Track".
Yippee! I think this is the Right Thing (tm) to do. Now keep the tracks coming.
We should agree on Keywords/Subjects for the other topics, soon, and make a list in a WikiPage.
Now that the site is open to the public, and people are starting to sign up, we need to quickly create the default members setup. Each member's folder should have a download section, a tracks/art section, an news/events section, and a Patches section.
I think that the section under each member folder should not be called 'tracks' since that would exclude video, sound art, interactive pieces, and people who don't like calling their music a 'track'. And I don't think we should have different sections for each type of art in the members' folders since most of them would then be empty. I, for example, don't have any video/graphics work (yet?). I think it makes sense to have separate sections under the 'community' section though, since people generally browse within a certain media. Then the news/announcements would be for more general posting.
The best we came up with before was 'art', but that might be a bit vague. Here are suggestions off the top of my head: "works", "pieces" ....
