Review and suggest improvements to the plone.org Information Architecture #11

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

plone.org is a large (and old!) site. It has grown organically over a long 
time. In parts, the 
placement of content and information may be sub-optimal.

The task: Produce a report analysing the information architecture of the 
plone.org website with 
clear recommendations for how the site could be improved.

I claim this task.

Do you mean the whole plone website, or just the documentation?

Cheers,

David

I've attached a partial draft of the review here. I know it's not much yet, but 
I'd 
just like to know if I am headed in the right direction. Thanks!

I am finding quite a few "stub" articles, that just include a link to another 
page. 
Should I list them, or are they already being worked on by the issue 
titled "Identify and fix errors in plone.org's error log"?

The report looks good, but the recommendations aren't very clear.  Could you 
produce
a simple layout of how it should be structured.  

eg:

Plone.org
            Section
                        Subsection
                        Subsection
                        Subsection
                        Subsection
            Section
                        Subsection
                        Subsection
                        Subsection
                        Subsection
            Section
                        Subsection
                        Subsection
                        Subsection
                        Subsection

I wouldn't recommend a huge restructure of the site, so there's not much in 
terms 
of the major structure to be done. As most of my recommendations are fairly 
minor, 
they don't show up on the scale of the whole site structure. But I've attached 
the 
document with a revised Site structure added below my report for you to see 
anyway.

I have written my recommendations throughout the document in the format "** 
(recommendation) **" so that they are easy to find. In this revision I have 
also 
listed each of them at the bottom of the report.

Hope this helps!
