Infrastructure

My hope is to move the docmentation website to the extension/template/documentation OpenDesktop implementation under discussion these days.

I'd like to have a landing page in OD for the web visitor (books, join-us, etc..). If not possible in OD, perhaps we will have to keep the SilverStripe entry page. I hope not.

So this fix and energy spent in SilverStripe, depends on OD outcome.

I'm not sure if OpenDesktop is actually providing what you are looking for - to me it's more a catalogue of extensions rather than an overview website/landing page. Heiko Tietze should have more information, but my guess is we'll rather have to stick with the existing documentation page and fix this ticket :-)

Any update if OD will satisfy our needs in this regard, can you judge already, or is it too early?

On discussions the week 25 in Munich, a solution will be designed in Silverstripe, not OD.

Heiko, is this something you could help with?

The usual navigation would be [link] [link] [language v]. The first entry on the localized items is actually the translation of the site, so it could become <English>, <Spanish>, <German> instead of <English documentation>, <Documentación en español>, <Handbücher>. The "Join us" and "Support us" entries are not consistently used and could become the <links> (see above) if needed. But I would prefer Getting Started, Books, and Community publications meaning a quick link to the page content.

Since the decision to move away the extension website from Plone, I asked to handle the Documentation products, because it carries a lot of synergies (all are files to donwload). Task#3074 has been added to fit the site to Documentation requirements and are trivial in my opinion.

I hope to deactivate the current documentation website and move all contents to the extension website, so spending energy in the current website is better used to set the new extension/template/documentation website.
