h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I've drafted this, but I feel it's not that useful at the moment. However, if someone wants to connect it to one of the workshop pages, please do.

It's about what the site can do, should do, could perhaps do, and might be nice.

I think that's really very useful. I'll read it more closely later.

Part of it has connection with the stuff about Site Structure:

I had seen your (and Mal's) Skin pictures, and layout images, but I wasn't aware of this document you linked!

I tried to capture the things the system should do, regardless of how it looks and where on screen things are...

Yes, I know. For some of the things you mention there are new ideas in this document. In some areas you get into much more detail.

I'm doing some different stuff at the moment, but I'll have a look at where the Site Structure doc can be improved with the help of your document later.
We should let them stay in two different documents I think but I hope that in the end we can have two pieces that fit together.

It also connects with

"Volunteers and Processes" here : http://docs.google.com/drawings/edit?id=1sEvWFOO5HteALDWtmiL9bqxA0jSAUDT0CI7pUzwkdMU&hl=en&authkey=CPrBujg

"Roles and Responsibilities" here : http://docs.google.com/document/d/1OwlgXi4njNHCFPPpk4_EOAgGvQkjNrXvuFerUErdyFo/edit?hl=en&authkey=CMLM2NwK

"Input to h2g2 User Requirements" here : http://docs.google.com/document/d/1pMGEqNfeX94qn3zJGoKVCHF0Y9ykevEgLig_p7YKVFs/edit?hl=en&authkey=CICJ5pkG

I think it's a formalised way to present the User Requirements.

This could well be tied in with the 'Nuts and Bolts' Entry (not yet written) about the technical aspects of h2g2.

Except, I don't think the "users" would (or should have to) have a clue about what kind of servers, database capacity, load balancing of access, and other things that will be necessary for the actual operation. That's a system specification document, or configuration specification. Not really about functionality.
