ACK, on the concept. Here are my changes.

Before continuing let's lay out some audience principles.
Specifically what is the site audience and how much previous knowledge do we assume the audience will have? What audience do we want to ignore?
If the site is designed for general public with very little knowledge then, site needs to be gateway for both technical and non-technical people to understand cryptos at the conceptual level, and peercoin specifically. This will require having fairly complete "about sections" available.
We wwould also need to provide technical information to empower that general audience and also deeper technical info for people already involved in the crypto world.
The wiki project is probably a reasonable place to warehouse all of the deeper technical specifications/tutorials. HOWEVER we could also include and "advanced user" area on the site with a series of articles if we are seeking to serve that audience here if we want to serve them
We need to decide on the audience and that will make the organization clearer.
For example, In addition to what you propose above, a beginner/ less technical general audience also need (not exhaustive list)
If we don't want to serve this audience, then we need not include this. This is good work, once we have this decided and the organization laid, out producing and organizing content will go much faster
We'll also need to decide on Some editing conventions (ie US vs euro spelling) but that is a conversation for after the core content is decided
I say split the website into various subsites, each with their own goals. Trying to manage the thing as a whole leads to much confusion.
Yup. How about 3 areas
MAIN - peercoin.net as the general interest page High level overview of the coin track news and events press kit material contact us information list of sponsors sign up to volunteer
SUB 1 tutorials.peercoin.net or knowledge.peercoin.net or something similar for articles/knowledge base split into 3 levels
SUB 2 commerce.peercoin.net tutorialsreviews/listings etc for localpeercoins exchanges payment processors Merchants etc
We should organize the project management process. This is especially important so that we can also split content generation from content deployment to keep things organized/less confused.
For different article editing we can establish new gits Each article text is stored on a page and folks can contribute edits etc.
Once articles are finalized we then move to website and mark up. No more edits or changes without good cause.
Appoint 2 or 3 editors to manage this process
List each set of articles as a P4C project and split the current P4C funds across the different articles that need to be written/edited to reward writers
thoughts??
3 Team Roles
1) Back end guys - build/deploy very simple CMS and skeleton of site organized for the different articles that will be posted. Make updates as content needs change
2) Editors oversee Writing projects -> writers contribute to drafts via pull until finalized
3) Technical Markup guys - Take finalized article text and mark up for posting to site, pull reqs to main repo
Folks would prob participate in 2 of 3 team roles at any given time. Some writers might help with mark-up, some mark-up folks prob help with back end. etc
Yes, I think that is definitely a route to go. I think first we need to focus on taking a bit of time to clean up the current website(simply because we can do that now and quickly), then transition to something like that.
The information in Docs, Resources, and Get Peercoin is redundant and disorganized abd references information that is off site
I propose we organize into 3 Sections
Understand Peercoin -About Peercoin -About Mining -About Minting -About Spending
Use Peercoin -Mining Tutorial -Minting Tutorial -Spending/Accepting Tutorial- Other Tools Tutorial
Peercoin Community -Overview/How to get started -Understanding Forums -Peercoin on Social Media (covers best way to contact folks for help) -Volunteer -Sponsor/Donate
This would require merging texts across several of the current pages and continuing to pull in information that was only contained on forum as was done for the news and events page
