Thanks, Roger. <br><br>To sum up, Ton's intervention is critical at this juncture, because with just 2-3 (part-time?) people, we cannot achieve any of those goals you mentioned. <br><br>Unless Ton attracts more volunteers with some incentive or hires a few professionals as a full-time job, the situation is not going to change.<br>
<u><br><b>The worst-case scenario (assuming there is no resource-allocation for documentation):</b></u><br>1. We simply accept Mont29's suggested new TOC. No more dithering on that one.<br>2. Translations are out. We stick to English.<br>
3. No major changes to the site-structure. We go ahead with what we have.<br>4. We quickly identify who is going to contribute this round, and who can spare some time to guide them.<br>5. We split the work (e.g. I can quickly take various screenshots of Blender and upload them all in a folder.)<br>
6. Link to videos only from individual topic pages of the wiki. No more showcases (what Andrew made recently)<br>7. Create a YouTube sister channel to host videos, with reciprocal links to the wiki. <br><br>Frankly, the structure seems too complicated to me. Rather than struggling with legacy issues, can we have a plain vanilla mediawiki+pdf export extension? (Drupal is also fine IF someone is ready to handle the complications) <br>
<br>Wikify everything (no plain web pages), and throw it open to volunteers. Admin will have to handle creating new pages whenever anyone requests.<br><br>Then we can create a new TOC starting at top, and create branches for UM, API docs, etc. Leter port whatever we want from the existing site, and then decommission it.<br>
<br>BTW we should know what decisions were taken at the Blender Conference
2010. New proposals tabled in it would be finalized by now.<br><div style="visibility: hidden; display: inline;" id="avg_ls_inline_popup"></div><style type="text/css">#avg_ls_inline_popup { position:absolute; z-index:9999; padding: 0px 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 240px; overflow: hidden; word-wrap: break-word; color: black; font-size: 10px; text-align: left; line-height: 13px;}</style>
