Will add "Quick Start Guide" to G1 and G2 sections
Update "Other Gallery projects" section (sync with updated current main page)
All people at the meeting agreed with the new structure. Implementation is next.
Namespaces
Zimzat explained how namespaces / categories work
Neither is auto-generated
Namespace vs Categories
Namespaces properties:
Why namespaces? One can limit search results to one or more namespaces on the search page.
And one can reuse page names in different namespaces
A page can only be in a single namespace at a time
The default namespace is "Main" and is not part of any URL
A page in a hypothetical namespace "Gallery" would have the URL http://codex.com/index.php/Gallery:XXX. Thus The part before the first colon is the namespace name.
A namespace masks all pages with the same prefix, e.g. if there is a "Gallery" namespace, we would have to export / reimport all pages that start with "Gallery:"
Category properties:
A page Gallery2:XXX is neither automatically in the "Gallery2" category nor does it automatically generate such a category. It's just a page name.
Why categories? We get auto-generated landing-pages / index pages for each category. And there are category links on each page that is categorized.
A page can be in multiple categories.
You can create sub-categories.
We will use a template for each category
Auto-generated category pages can be extended with manual content
Next steps
Namespaces are not a requirement for our codex reorganization, but they seem to be a useful feature.
We will experiment with namespaces on codex-dev while the reorgination is in the works in the real codex.
Once we're happy with namespaces and know all the details, we will export all pages in the real codex, add namespaces and import / rename the existing pages.
Proposed namespaces:
Gallery (content that is common to G1 and G2, ...)
G1, G2, GR, for individual integrations
Categorization / Top Categories
Mindless drafted a proposal on his user page: User:Mindless
We'll use that and Valerie's report (survey results analysis and recommendations) as the base
Getting a final list of top-level categories has priority before going down to sub-categories (as per Valerie)
Once we have the top-level categories, we can create templates and start recategorizing existing pages
Then we can create sub-categories
Action Items
mindless to merge the results from Valerie's survey report into his categorization
h0bbel and valiant to go over the report and the proposed categorization from mindless and provide feedback
valiant to update main page structure section in reorg document
valiant to draft a new main page and post link to -docs for final review
