              I was confused by that Writeboard. It seems like a Wiki Discussion page, but without a datestamp next to each comment it’s confusing, and it’s really odd, given that there’s a comment facility at the bottom also.

              We have to decide what the document is.

              I think it would work better as lists of things to change, with the arguments summarised afterwards, like this:

              Home Page

              Lose the “100% buzzword compliant” Why? Ryan has heard negative feedback. Ryan thinks it’s true but perhaps a bit arrogant and cutesy. Paul agrees. Why not?

              Start with the release copy and add to it or combine it with what we have on the current home page. Why? Paul agrees. Why not?

              Dim the “Ajax CMS” bit until we really do have greater AJAX integration (especially in the manager). Why? Susan states elsewhere. David agrees. Why not? Ryan: "Our index-ajax makes things like configuration-free livesearch (via ajax by the way) possible. It was the first that I’m aware of. We’re also #1 in Google for Ajax CMS, and I’m not quite ready to give that up. wink"

              Rewrite : “MODx is 100% buzzword compliant, and makes child’s play of building content managed sites with validating, accessible CSS layouts – hence Ajax CMS.” Why? David: "Our target audience knows the difference between javascript effects libraries and AJAX strictly speaking." Paul: "Because it’s just nonsense."

              --

              This is then effectively then a ticklist of objectives, and they can be crossed out as they are actually done.

              Agreed?
                No, I don't know what OpenGeek's saying half the time either.

                You’re right Paul, it’s confusing.

                The document was blank to start with. Ryan posted some thoughts here. Then I did. I thought it was better to put names on what we had written.

                The thing is, I think maybe a writeboard should be created for each page that needs being rewritten.
                Then we could copy/paste current pages content and edit it.

                How about that ?

                  That would make the most sense to me.

                    If you guys dont mind, I have another option of collaboration with unlimited authors, wiki type system, task lists etc. ?

                    Ooops! David already did it! ... zi did it too tongue

                    check out: modxteam.stikipad.com/site/ , if this looks better, use it otherwise stick to writeboards.


                    Writeboards! smiley

                      I look forward to the day when the obvious answer is MODx itself...

                      Stikipad looks good, but the benefit of Writeboard is the easy password thing. And it has all the content in it now...
