| == Main page drafts ==
| |
| | |
| The current homepage is good for us wiki-folk in the planning stages, but it's sort of plain and not very appealing, aesthetically. I think we should put up a more user-friendly main page before we "launch" the wiki. Therefore, I've come up with a very basic draft: [[Portland Wiki/Draft 1]]. It's mostly to get some ideas and structure down.
| |
| | |
| What do you folks think? We should come up with more drafts/ideas to choose from, if people are willing. -[[User:Kotra|Kotra]] 20:57, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

| === Draft 2 ===
| |
| [[Mark Dilley]] and Dave Myers set up a draft main page yesterday. I think it's a good start, looks nice, clean, functional. It looks a little too derivative of other wikis to me though... people will look at it and think "oh, it's just like Wikipedia" or such. So I would suggest at least some cosmetic changes. How should we proceed with making changes? I think discussion is important here especially in this early stage so we don't step on each others' toes. -[[User:Kotra|Kotra]] 17:14, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

| :Oh! Sorry, my toes are fine by the way. I meant just in case. -[[User:Kotra|Kotra]] 05:13, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

| * I agree with Kotra - that the page looks to [[Wikipedia]] like - please, anyone feel free to work on it. ~~ [[User:MarkDilley|MarkDilley]]

| == Move planning somewhere else? ==
| |
| | |
| Would it be appropriate to move all the wiki planning stuff on this talk page and the [[Portland Wiki|main page]] somewhere else, like a [[PortlandWiki:Planning]] page or the [[PortlandWiki:Community Portal]] page linked in the navigation box on the left? In the more prominent wikis I think normally this page is reserved for discussion having to do with the main page. -[[User:Kotra|Kotra]] 21:01, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :Since the stuff on the [[PortlandWiki|main page]] has been moved to [[PortlandWiki:Community Portal]], my vote is to move the stuff unrelated to the main page on this talk page to [[PortlandWiki talk:Community Portal]]. -[[User:Kotra|Kotra]] 17:24, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

| | |
| :: I agree about moving it. there is an overwhelming amount of information and it might be helpful to break it out a little. --[[User:Psychomia|Psychomia]] 22:39, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :::Ok, I've moved all the stuff about planning and the wiki to [[PortlandWiki talk:Community Portal]], leaving just the stuff about the main page, [[PortlandWiki]], and this page ([[Talk:PortlandWiki]]) here. Anyone feel free to revert me or comment here if this is undesirable! -[[User:Kotra|kotra]] 21:33, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

| :A news item for the main page? Good idea Michael. I've added it. Eventually we'll probably want to devise some sort of system for adding recent news (maybe there's a Google News aggregator for the search term "Portland, Oregon" we could use) but manually adding news articles as we feel like it is probably fine for now. -[[User:Kotra|kotra]] ([[User talk:Kotra|talk]]) 09:17, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

| ::Hmm. We have both a "Recent Developments" section and a "News" section that seem to be both used for Portland-related news. I think the "Recent Developments" section was originally supposed to be updates on the workings of the wiki. I propose we eliminate it for now since it's not being used for that purpose. I've just gone ahead and done that but feel free to revert if you disagree. -[[User:Kotra|kotra]] ([[User talk:Kotra|talk]]) 05:09, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

| | |
| :: Also I wonder if it would be a good idea to transclude the [[News]] page into the News section, by typing <nowiki>{{:News}}</nowiki>, like this:
| |
| | |
| {{:News}}
| |
| | |
| ::That way whenever we update the [[News]] page it automatically shows up on the main page too. The idea is that we wouldn't have to update it in both places. -[[User:Kotra|kotra]] ([[User talk:Kotra|talk]]) 05:09, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
