Talk:Main Page

[edit] Main page structure

For a wiki, I think that the main page should be accessible to newbies, medium-level and advanced programmers. At the moment, I can't see any newbie making the difference between IDE, framework or language !!! This doesn't mean that everybody should participate to all the "levels" (newbie, not-too-bad and expert) but I think we should clearly make the difference right from the main page.

Do you have some suggestions? charles

It's a tricky question but finally articles are not really different than files in a filesystem. IMHO, we should use metadata (i.e. categories in the context of a Wiki) to sort the articles. Also this would allow to properly find articles which contain data of different skills. Something like categories "skill1", "skill2", "skill3" should do it, of "beginner", "advandeduser" and "expertuser".

Then we could propose on the main page an access by skill (possibly with a list of recently modified files) while keeping a direct access to other categories. SteffX 13:12, 18 February 2008 (EST)
