WDDM Worldwide Direct Democracy Movement : ScHema

WddmWikiMain :: News : Members : Topics : Links : Recent : All : Grouped : Login
This is a suggested classification of the current content of the wwddm wiki. It could be used for improving the internal organization of the wiki, helping maintain coherence of content and aiding in stablishing a roadmap to its content or site map.

Perhaps the WddmWikiMain should explain about the wwddm and the wiki and link to one page with the content organized by categories and another by alphabetical order (the wiki already provides this with the page index).

I believe should be a page for each category, describing its intent and including links to the corresponging pages. New pages should be added by including the links at each category page.

This icludes information about the wwddm and wiki. some topics currently under discussion should be moved here when solved.

Discussion
These are pages on topics that are being discussion. It's fine that they are very different among them. I would suggest keeping the pages for summaries and revisions of discussion. There is the possibility of using thhe page own comments or adding a blog to the page, but I think it could be a good idea to have a central place for carrying all disucussions. This couls be a discussion forum, either the wiki's own or wddf. This choice is of course under discussion.

Projects
This are actual projects that are being implemented, tracked and acted upon. They all need more clarificacion and some internal structure. Goals, timeline, tasks, achievements, etc.

Links
These should be links organized by country. The only discrepancy seems to be SiberiaLinks. However, I think links inside each countrypage should be somehow organized: dd organizations, legislation, past and forthcoming events, etc. Also, I am not sure we should have empy pages on countries.

News
There is one page I could not easily classify and so I thought of a news category. Probably it could be a blog better that separated pages, except some one wants to start a discussion on some topic derived from the news.

Webring
This includes frames onto external sites. We should decide some criteria for inclusion, including owners' or administrators' agreement to it. We should perhpas think of a better name for this category.

Suggestions
These are suggestion for new pages, resources, etc. Being a wiki, it is in principle better to create something directly than as for something. (?WebMaster)

Categories
This is actually a system for classifying pages, but it needs to follow some general schema and it requires that each new page includes the appropriate code. This is perhaps difficult to achieve.

 Comments [Hide comments/form]
Josep, this page is more or less redundant in its presetn form, in my view. It seems to create a menu parallel to the already built-in Category mechanism. For example, your "Links" already belong into the CategoryLinks category, your "Help" into CategoryDocumentation. What you call "System" is already CategoryWiki. "About" is probably equivalent to CategoryInternal, "Membership" is CategoryUsers, "Projects" is CategoryProjects, etc.
Placing the name of a category anywhere on a new page automatically lists it in the given category (and one can then find it by clicking on the "By Category" in the top menu, and then on the name of the respective category). To get the new page into your list, its author would have also to edit this list (ScHema) and add the link to the newly created page here.

We can have as many categories as we want, but we should take great care to start additional once, to avoid confucion and category prolifetarion. Categories, can have subcategories.

From what you compiled, it seems like we could introduce for example the following addtional categories: CategoryNews, CategoryProposals (this could include some "Suggestions", while other woudl belong to the CategoryInternal category).

Do we need urgently to define soem more additional categories?

Sorry I didn't see you comment before. This page was not intended to substitute the wiki's category system, just to help make it comprehensive. If you think the wiki's own system now includes all categories, this page can be deleted. I will try to check if there is any category left that could be added and I'll let you know with another comment.

Josep, I appreciate your effort. It will help the final classification. This page can stay here until to category scheme is complete and more clear.
