Current revision

This is where we'll collate all the ideas for redesigning the Radical Reference site

Contents

[edit]

Possible Themes

Eric suggested we identify other possible themes for the newly refactored site. One way to do that is to go here and keep hitting random. There's also a giant list on the Drupal site. Click filter by 6.x to look only at themes that are supported on our installation. Jenna 12:19, 31 January 2010 (EST)

Upgrade Notes

  • 1/24/10: Easy to do once the php is upgraded to 6, add link to Twitter. Also Facebook? Flickr pool? What else?

Update: On 1/18/10, the site was updated to Drupal 6!

Notes from the 12/19/09 brainstorming/refactoring session. There was also a work session on 1/5/10 -- some notes are at the bottom of the Rad Ref PiratePad.


[edit]

Site Design

  • Eric removed the spiral (2/26/10)
  • Feedback from a site user (2/8/10):

"it's not 100% clear on the Ask a Question page where to click to actually go to the page where you can ask a question: http://radicalreference.info/node/add/content_question (it only says "question"...)"

  • There is also an online survey -- please fill it out so we can get everyone's thoughts and ideas!


[edit]

Website To Do List

  • Possible anti-spam solution: Mollom, though Eric has reservations. (MRM, 2/26/10)
  • Resolve theming bug (?) that puts the recaptcha above the login fields when you follow the link in comment notifications. (MRM, 2/26/10)
  • The lists page needs updating. (MRM, 2/22/10, via jenna)
  • Something else for the to-do list regarding content: Re-organize the Radical Reference in the News page so that entries are in reverse chronological order rather than alphabetical by publication. (MRM, 1/6/10)
  • Maybe the navigation menu for non-logged-in users could be:
  • Create content

- Question

  • Local Collectives

- [the collectives]

  • Recent posts
  • Presentations
  • Publications
  • Volunteer

- Volunteer guide (MRM, 11/3/09)

Notes

(2/9/06) After several responses on the list in favor of the multi-colored tabs, I left them the way they are. JRJ
