Or... Is this thing on? <tap> <tap> <!feedback!>
I hope there are more of you out there than just a couple of people who can chime on, but let's get on with it.
Mac and I have continued this discussion a little out of band, but I'd like to bring it back here. I'd really like to do something with the forum index structure - more than just the little tricks of moderator listings, RSS and such. What it boils down to is either a very short main index page of the major categories and then flat on the subsections, or a lengthy main index, intelligently organized into those same major sections.
The current setup requires too much knowledge of the forum structure. It is uninviting. I'm leaning toward the lengthy main index as a necessary evil. Some of it should be straight-forward such as:
Code: Select all
Main Index
OpenURU.org (section)

Resources & Tools (section)

Mac offered something like this set of major project sections to start off the discussion. I'm not sure where to put some of the current forums, so I'm leaving it generic:

Also, things can be adjusted if the reality of what comes out of this doesn't match expectations.
However it ends up, I'd like to match the structure outline on this wiki page:
