Web Page Audience Site Structure

This is a proposal for a new twiki.org site structure. Its content is derived from the Personas we created on WebsitePersonas. Please see these topics for background information on the process. Work items are listed at TWikiOrgRenewalWorks2008ToDo.

High level site structure

  • About
    • About Foswiki: general introduction, user stories, costs, installation and maintainance
    • About the community
    • Practical information: downloads, requirements, user documentation
    • 'System' information (installed plugins, technical details)
  • Documentation
    • From the release. It must be clear that additional documentation exists, and additional Support questions can be very useful
    • This should be re-organized as
  • Extensions
    • Browsable list of extensions by usage / type / problem domain
  • Community
    • Community pages: focus on contributing, who's who, learning Foswiki
  • Development
    • Development pages: focus on programming, writing good code and documentation; feature requests, roadmap
  • Examples
    • TO BE CREATED
  • Support
    • Support questions organized by problem domain
    • Supplemental documents
    • Known issues
    • FAQ
    • Consultants

  • Main - contains only user pages
  • Sandbox - just to try out, not the general Sandbox of TWiki
  • Tasks - for developers
