Some discussions to date about the sidebar:

  • How to limit the number of fields
  • Where to put the search bar
  • Whether "Email and IRC" should be one link or two
  • Where to put a help link for using the wiki


from arjs

Consider moving the current 'Content-url|Content' to the 'about olpc' box and call it 'Content principles' or similar, and then have a new Content link that goes to the Category:Content page (or a prettified version of it) or an expansion of or enhancement to the Template:Content-nav table that provides links to the major content project pages. You may eventually need to use a collapsing table to satisfy all the demand for sidebar billing. --FGrose 14:18, 26 February 2008 (EST)

  • or better overview pages...

The Health project needs a link on the side toolbar (left). I think since it is a project, it could perhaps come under the Projects category. What does everyone else think? --Arjs 13:24, 26 February 2008 (EST)

  • A whole nav for content subfiels would be appropriate, perhaps at the very end --Sj talk 16:21, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

Emulation

I find this ink invaluable, and something that visitors are always asking for. but perhaps it belongs moreprominently on the main page? --Sj talk 16:21, 13 April 2008 (EDT)
