2. New Motions
2.1. Change doc.tw.o menus
Discussion: see that doctwo revamp page.
marc: I hope top menu will one day be used for global *.tiki.org navigation
In Favor: Rick, Xavi, luci
Opposed:
Undecided: lindon (I like having the All the Documentation site map link somewhere, also like the current choices under Author Resources. Depending on how reduced TOC in side menu looks, some keywords might still be helpful since lots of things are covered in keywords that wouldn't show in a reduced TOC or freetags. Otherwise menu proposals seem okay.)
2.2. Change doc.tw.o modules
Discussion: see that doctwo revamp page.
In Favor: Rick, Xavi
Opposed: lindon (I don't mean that i completely oppose but i do like the registered users online, and search by page name modules for registered users. Also assume the developer menu would remain for those users.)
2.3. categories for status
are there but not being used. Do we use? or do we nuke?
I (ricks99) would like to continue to use them (to alert readers as to the "correctness" of a particular page). However I see a potential issue: How can we "split" the category of a page when using the VERSIONS plugin? For example, the 2.x information may be "LIVE", but the 3.x information may be "TO DO." Currently (I think), Tiki allows only 1:1 — category:page.
I (ricks99) would also like to see the categories be simplified. Maybe something like:
- Stub — Newly generated page; no real content.
- In Progress — Being worked on, not up-to-date or complete.
- In Review — Content complete. Needs to be reviewed/verified.
- Complete — Page is done & published.
Maybe also use Staging feature?
2.4. Remove en-uk as a possible language
just causes confusion. When we filter by language, there are uk english pages which are not really different to English pages
There is no en-uk version for Wikipedia, with over 250 languages
In favor:
marclaporte
Opposed: luci
-1 — color is different than colour (ricks99)
2.5. Remove my footnotes
to simplify interface
need to check in db if any data
Discussion:
+1, i never used it myself — luci
-1, I like having it. It allows contributors to work on pages without actually editing the "real" content. If we implement the Staging system to doc.tw.o, then +1 from me (ricks99)
-1, I haven't used it but think it could be useful. Not sure if staging would replace it for me.
2.6. Use proposal plugin for future EBM
