Site Map

I am hoping that all this re-organization of the wiki categories will lead to a new site map. I find the site map to very valuable in navigating around and I'd like to see it handle categories at least three levels deep. We could put the whole category structure up there, but that might be TMI (too much information). Great work, BTW. I'm loving it! --User:Mjn 11:41, 4 May 2011 (EDT)

Distinguishing project pages from tool/technology pages

Can't post in the web infrastructure forum, so I'll post here. I think all specific project pages should belong to the category "Project". Other pages that are not explicitly project pages shouldn't discuss the projects, only refer to them. For example, the entry "Tractor" should discuss tractors in general terms and perhaps specifically what OSE needs tractors to do. However, specific implementations of tractors such as "Lifetrac", "Microtrac", or any other tractor projects in the future should be distinct. These specific projects fulfill the needs and available technologies specified in "Tractor". Jason 10:00, 17 June 2011 (PDT)

Wireless category

I'm planning on reorganizing the wireless category, making the root Wireless communications networks which will point to all other wireless areas of interest, including the projects. I'm going to add the wireless projects to the "project" category. Just wanting to know if anyone has a stake in the wireless area as I work through it. Jason 16:51, 20 June 2011 (PDT)

Reorg

We are restructuring the categories using the scheme in this google doc: [1] so that everything will be in a logical place to be find-able. Right now the only main level categories we are using are OSE, Infrastructure (including FeF), GVCS, and Archive. We are coordinating the project here: [2] --Marshall Smith 00:43, 20 August 2011 (CEST)
