04:59.00 Notify 03BRL-CAD Wiki:Sean * 4954 /wiki/TOC: add my old site map TOC that's been years in the making, recently reworked
05:00.10 brlcad since we have some momentum, there's a hierarchy to get the discussion rolling
05:01.57 brlcad the exact organization isn't critical but a LOT of thought has gone into the different categories of information and various ways they can be navigated most effectively
05:03.14 brlcad critique welcome (I've been mulling over this for a very long time, I'll try to not be too defensive)
05:09.49 n_reed https://www.dropbox.com/s/3nv2nfjm1yj5413/brlcad_web_mockup_v2.jpeg
05:09.59 brlcad n_reed: I recently reworked it to fit the different organization you hinted at in your design, just fyi
05:10.24 n_reed too late xp
05:11.55 brlcad not too late, even v2 has the same organization
05:12.18 n_reed sorry
05:12.26 n_reed i know what you meant now
05:12.31 n_reed just tired
05:12.51 n_reed yes, i saw how you matched the nav bar names
05:14.00 brlcad the only major change to what I had was that I'd had Documentation as a separate top-level because there was so much content
05:14.16 brlcad kind of separating it into active and passive resources
05:14.42 brlcad but that was a weak notion, so I can see it either way
05:16.05 n_reed i was thinking about avoiding confusion about where to click
05:16.25 n_reed can't tell you how many times i've paused between "resources" and "help" at cmake.org
05:17.18 n_reed not quite the same obviously, but that was the feeling
05:27.16 brlcad n_reed: would you also change Resources to Learn with the button there now, or was that intentional?
05:28.01 n_reed actually i did change it to learn, and then changed it back real quick to match your TOC =)
05:28.07 brlcad heh
05:28.24 n_reed if you had pasted a minute later it would have said learn
05:28.32 n_reed s/pasted/posted
05:29.28 n_reed it reads well as learn, i.e. "Download the package, then learn the package, then contribute"
05:29.46 brlcad I agree
05:30.04 brlcad the repetition is a little bothersome
05:30.30 brlcad but could also be a good thing
05:30.36 brlcad on other pages
05:30.47 n_reed you mean the buttons with the nav bar?
05:30.55 brlcad yeah
05:31.41 n_reed yeah i realized that, but 1) you do want those links on other pages and 2) everyone else does that too
05:32.27 brlcad 1) do we? 2) irrelevant ;)
05:32.55 brlcad I mean sure, a separate download page with all the nitty gritty detail is good
05:33.06 brlcad and learn/resources/docs/whatever
05:34.25 brlcad but a big download button right then and there could jump be to a download section on the main page with my platform-detected version, or could download the latest, or something else altoether
05:35.17 brlcad (in which case the menu would probably say "Downloads")
05:36.16 brlcad e.g., http://www.mozilla.org/ does the second
05:37.36 brlcad I really like the quick-register news mailing list link they have
05:38.51 brlcad mm, their website is actually pretty cool
05:39.23 n_reed yeah I was noticing
05:39.43 n_reed I need sleep now though
05:39.48 brlcad there, just do that ;)
05:40.50 n_reed what's the smiley for middle finger?
05:41.21 brlcad ,oIo.
05:41.40 n_reed =) talk to you tomorrow
05:41.44 brlcad cya
