Magrathea's Workshop - Site Structure
Created | Updated Jun 21, 2011
21st June 2011 - We interrupt your browsing with some welcome news:
When you read what's on the Magrathea pages and the conversations here, please remember that they were written while the bid was being worked on, so some things have changed.
We now return you to your original programming
About this page
This page is one of several pages compiled by the Community Consortium in Magrathea's workshop.
There is a google document about the topic of Site Structure.
Read the document linked above and comment on it in the threads below.
Scope
Site Structure is everything concearned with the h2g2 site itself, it's layout and usability. This topic is related to many other topics on Magrathea's Workshop because whichever new things are decided about how things should be in the future, the site itself has to enable people to do them.
Where we are now
You can see the current Site Structure all around you.
What's already been said on the subject
This topic has already been discussed in the h2g2 usability thread which is connected with pictures about h2g2 layout and h2g2 skins.
How do we describe this, then?
We have to find a site structure for NooHootoo that everyone can work with.
How to use Magrathea's workshop
We take as our starting point what has already been said and done on this topic, but there may still be differences of opinion, of course. We hope to reflect a consensus, but occasionally we'll have to go with the majority opinion.
The threads attached to this entry
All the pages in Magrathea's workshop have the same basic structure and at least the same three threads:
- one about how it works now
- one where we discuss how we want it to be
- one where we discuss the document itself
We may ask the Editors to move relevant threads to these pages if they are on topic. And of course you can start a thread on the page yourself.
We are working to a time-table which will be dictated by the BBC's timetable for disposing of the site. We'll make an announcement on each page when we think the document is nearly done, and again when it's finished.
We've said it before, and we'll say it again - Don't Panic!
