[General] Get Involved and related wiki areas

[Sheila Mooney]

So I have been tasked with driving the effort to organize the Get  
Involved wiki areas. Of course when I started to look at this, there  
are a bunch of related links like For Developers, the FAQs etc that  
we should look at too. As a first step I wanted to do an inventory of  
the current links and what pages they go to. Here is the current  
hierarchy....

+ We have a desktop landing page with links to....
	+ Get Involved page
	+ For Developers page
	+ Product FAQ

+ We have a Cosmo landing page with links to....
	+ Get Involved page
	+ For Developers page
	+ Product FAQ

For each of the landing pages, these links point to different pages  
which are customized specifically for the particular product or project.

+ The Product, Teams, Projects all have links on the left nav to Get  
Involved, For Developers and the Product FAQ. but they are not  
currently active. These pages are more general so we don't have the  
context of pointing to a particular FAQ or Get Involved page.

Mimi and I chatted and we came up with the following proposal for  
Preview.

Proposal:

+ Create single main pages for Get Involved, For Developers and the  
FAQ. This means we can link to this single page from the main landing  
page as well as all the wiki pages. We are looking at a single  
centralized landing page for Preview anyhow and won't have the 2 main  
pages that we do now.
+ Obviously there is different information specific to the end-user  
related info and the server specific information so we would  
structure these pages with sections or a table of contents so users  
can easily get at the information they need. Alternatively, we could  
keep the main page brief and create links to secondary pages for  
product specific info.
+ In keeping with this structure we would generalize the "log a bug"  
and "report a problem" information as well.

Mimi and I did a brainstorm of what type of information would go in  
each page....

- Get Involved
	- IRC
	- Lists
	- Feedback
	- Log a bug
	- Roles - ways to contribute
	- Projects
	- Help us page
	- Governance

- FAQ
	- One FAQ with sections
	- End user chandler desktop/hub/casual collaborator
	- Server

- For Developers
	- One page with sections
	- Server
	- Web front end
	- Desktop

Comments, suggestions?

Cheers,
Sheila
