Re: Signing off the wgo goals

[Claus Schwarm <c schwarm gmx net>]

Hi, Quim!

I'm glad you mention it: I added the goals to the GnomeWeb page
because they were listed elsewhere, and made sense, basically. However,
having a few more opinions about them can't hurt. ;-)

My 2cts:

 * Easy navigation
  
   The draft structure for wgo is derived from the WebUseCases [1] which
should make navigation easy for most people. Of course, a critical
review would help.

 * Easy Modification

   The best solution for wgo would be a system that enables editing via
a rear entry [2], has proper URLs, needs no db, and allows for some
dynamic daily updates on the frontpage and elsewhere.

   In fact, we have so many different sub-sites/services running that
it's an illusion to think wgo could be much more than a yahoo style
directory structure.

   Our current way of doing wgo just sucks due to the complicated
makefile stuff. Changing the content shouldn't be easy, IMHO.

   The only service we're really missing is an "events table service"
that delivers a feed to update our frontpage, and where people can
enter, and maintain GNOME events worldwide.

 * Enable the use of multiple languages

   All multiple language sites I can remember to have visited sucked;
especially the ones we currently have. It may be better with automatic
browser language detection and a web design that allows and remembers
manual switching to all other languages by default; inlcuding a English
fallback for none translated content.

 * Access for disabled people (eg. Blind, Color Blind, etc.)

   Shouldn't be a problem.


Cheers,
Claus
