Bjoern says: We have to decide whether the front page of the wiki emphasises the manual (i.e. "the manual is the main part of this wiki") or collaboration (i.e. "the manual is mentioned on the front page, but there are other important parts to the wiki, such as pages for individual workshops".)

Recent additions and modifications to software:

  • Added a new templates (see Administrator Information): box (for participants reponses), comment (to make comments in main text visible). Bjoern 19:34, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Added a new template (see Administrator Information) to generate page titles that won't print in pdf output (which is still to be added). Example in Session 7 and Session 2, that show page header, page title, and page contents nicely in sequence. (Headings within a page/session can thus start with the top level heading: = ... =, which produces a good structure for the table of contents.). Bjoern 14:10, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
  • I've added this image File:RECOUP book.jpg to the manual header. Bjoern 20:12, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
  • File uploads are now enabled. Bjoern 20:14, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Discussion

Hi Bjoern, the image you have added looks good. I am a little concerned about the visual "clutter" on the main page. I find it too distracting from the main purpose- to showcase the manual. Any ideas on how this can be handled? N

WIki front page

I've tried to clean up the front page. This should work better. I still have reservations against making the front page part of the manual: If the community is successful, the front page will place less emphasis on the 'original' manual, because there will be additional materials, experiences from workshops, translations etc. However, perhaps for now the front page should become the main page of the manual. What do you think? Bjoern 17:35, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
