Features on
www.indymedia.org
These pages are the collaborative "working documents" of the www-features working group.
General Info
The
www-features and
www-editoriales working groups are responsible for maintaining the features content of the global indymedia site,
www.indymedia.org. Anyone may propose a feature: you don't have to be a member of a working group.
Background
In December 2003,
www.indymedia.org was moved to a new server. At the same time, it was also changed over to use a new codebase,
Mir:
Callout
Translastions of www-features Call Out
WwwCallOut
Work to be done
There is still much to do following the migration to mir. A lot of work has already been done on languages and trying to turn
www.indymedia.org into a truly multilingual site, but there is still work to be done.
- Updating the start page: currently there are many links to outdated or incomplete information, for example the side panel menus. GlobalMenuIdeas contains links for all of these pages, or go directly to work on updating the links page.
- WwwDesignSpec : somewhere to sort out the specification for the redesign of the www site
Ideas for development
- What and how to translate www.indy?
- New layout: currently step 1 collecting ideas and priorities for functionality
static page
the following pages should go on a static page
Other stuff...
- a 'sandbox' area for features in the making - WorkPad
Meetings
There hasn't been an irc meeting since July, 2004:
minutes
But there was a global features 'work party':
WwwFeaturesWorkingParty1
Currently, there are plans for a 'working bee' to happen on Saturday, 15th January 2005 from 00:00 GMT to 23:59 GMT. We shall use the #features channel on
irc.indymedia.org (use
chat.indymedia.org if you can only access via the web) to coordinate, and try to use the wiki to update documentation, draft new links pages, work on the design of the site.
NOTE: this will be a
working session, not a planning meeting - although there will be room for discussion of other issues affecting the global indymedia website and the functioning of the collective.
