Personal notes for reworking wiki pages, but open to comments. --Larry Sanger
I'm convinced that the whole set of introductory pages need a complete reworking. Here are some observations, questions, principles, etc.
- The landing page is simply too complicated. Too many links, too many words, will be off-putting to many people. It's all right to have a lot of links, perhaps, but it's not all right not to have a very simple presentation.
- It would be fine to have most of the detailed links on pages prominently linked from the main page, but they have to be quite obvious. They have to be clearly labelled, clearly placed, and most importantly, the whole set of them has to be clearly conceptually organized.
- Some candidate "top topics," i.e., categories of stuff' that someone landing on CZ might be interested in: a few good articles; approved articles; entry points; an entertaining summation of "what we're all about"; donation; recent changes; project home; a welcome letter; explanation of how to get started as a contributor (for general public and for editors); policies.
