[Evergreen-web-team] [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] adding a page to the wiki

Fri Mar 30 12:29:45 EDT 2012

Hi Lori,

I like using community and contribute.

However, I would be inclined to put Chat under community rather than
contribute. Also, I prefer the old language "chat" to calling it a
"Developer Chatroom". There are non-developers who participate or just lurk
in IRC, and I wouldn't want to discourage other non-developers from doing
the same. It's also used for DIG, reports task force, and community
meetings, so I would say the audience goes beyond developers.

Otherwise, it looks good to me!

Here's what I propose for changing the Menus on the Evergreen Home page.
Instead of Communicate and Contribute, we make them Community and
Contribute.

Here's what I think should be under Community:

Mailing Lists

Official Blog

Community Blogs

Users Groups  (note new addition)

Calendar 

Under Contribute:

Develop Code

Report Bugs

Developer Chatroom (note new language and new position on menu)

Donate to Evergreen (note this is slightly different language)

Committees and Working Groups

Request Feature (note new language)

Thoughts?

Drupal has a section called "community" and under that:

Online and local groups

Events and Meetups

Chat (IRC)

Planet Drupal

Community Spotlight

Commercial Support

Forum

Mailing Lists

Maybe the "Community" would encapsulate what we are trying to do as well?

Thanks!

I love the idea to have user group info in the wiki!

I'm a little concerned about moving from "Communicate" to
"Participate", because the latter seems closer in meaning to
"Contribute" and thus muddies the navigation a bit to my mind. But I
guess one could argue that to communicate is to contribute, so things
are already muddy.

Has anyone checked what other projects (that we admire for their
community support & clarity of their web site) do? Drupal.org &
Fedoraproject.org have some interesting similarities in their
navigation wording choices...
