Re: Content Milestone - Mapping

[Paul Cutler <pcutler foresightlinux org>]

I'll be honest here - I don't really think like a developer, so any help here is appreciated.

Right now, we have two pages scoped - Platform, and it's sub-page, Why GNOME Platform?

We can put the high level links you mention on the Platform itself, or as Lucas mentioned on Support -> Developers.  Off the top of my head, I would think the content would be a Platform introduction, and at least "Learn More" with those kind of links, and lead into the "Why" page.

If you have recommendations on subpages that should be included in 2.28 / 2.30, let me know what your recommendations are, and then the key is finding writers who can help bring that content to life in our timeframe.

I think this kind of content would go in Support->Developers. At least
that's what I would expect.
