Here's a list of tasks for the Web Team. If you don't like my naming convention in making this page, well, one of the points below is to establish style guidelines for the wiki. So there.

Please add stuff below.

Web Team members: please move things to your own to-do lists prior to working on a task.

Wiki

[1]

• Use CC license on wiki instead of GFDL
• Enable upload on wiki
  • Allow uploads of all FC.o-recommended filetypes
• Write style guidelines
• Write naming conventions
• Make the wiki nicer and more useful
  • Improve special pages
    • Main Page
    • Current events
    • Get started on this wiki ( = Help:Contents)
    • Help:Editing
    • Community Portal
    • About
    • Copyrights
    • General disclaimer
    • Policy
  • Purge, merge, and wash: Delete stuff, clean things up, get organized
    • Special:Shortpages - the shortest pages on the wiki. Excellent candidates for having their content moved to another page or being deleted.
    • Special:Lonelypages - pages which are not linked to from any other page.
    • Special:Deadendpages - pages which do not link to any other page.
    • Special:Ancientpages - the oldest pages. May be outdated.
    • Special:Wantedpages - pages that do not exist, but are linked to from other pages.
    • Special:Categories - all categories. We should use categories more, and better.

T-shirt ordering

[2]

• There are no XL size shirts, so please remove that option
• There's no way to pay for international shipping; please add a button for international orders that charges $27 instead of $20
• It'd be nice if the site wasn't so "lo-tech", e.g. more integrated with the rest of the site.

Planet

[3]

• Make it work
• Display small graphic for each blog (e.g. photo of author)
• Display first name, school of each blog

Blog

[4]

• Display small graphic per category (a la Slashdot)

Version Control

• Install CVS / Subversion.
  • J.C.: Install CVS and enforce the use of CVS for all website changes. The intention here is to make sure that we never lose data, and add accountability for website updates. I think the site is just large enough to benefit significantly by this approach. Using a version control system for the web pages adds overhead to designers, but there's no more worry about clobbering a whole host of work on accident through a erroneous install and having to manually restore the site, or simple human error with breaking a script.
  • Abhay: Subversion. My version system of choice.

Comment Submission

• Clean up and annotate J.C.'s code on the orphan works comment submission site for future use
• Add / ensure appropriate functioning of blog comment filtering (see hated jobs)
