Web ring
In principle...
In conversations with Peter Campbell, we've discussed having a web ring for relevant green/dev sites - especially wikis, but possibly other useful and/or collaborative websites as well. Chief contenders:
- Greenlivingpedia:
- Envirowiki:
- Howtopedia:
- The relevant Wikia sites
The important questions are:
- Is this adding value for users?
- Are they providing similar links back to us?
Implementation
- A template on the main page, at the bottom. Simple, quick to do.
- en.battlestarwiki.org has a row of links to related sites as part of the skin, at the top of every page.
Information architecture
Some aspects of IA (Information Architecture) are hard to separate out from UX, especially:
- Left navbar links - do an initial carding exercise ASAP? (With students? When giving a talk?)
- The Topic categories issue.
