i suggest changing the following:
== category tree ==


* [[:Category:The Open Ecology Project|The Open Ecology Project]]
please read this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree
** [[:Category:People|People]]
** [[:Category:PR materials|PR materials]]

into this:
i think we need to be using this more around the site. your thoughts? :) --[[User:Syk0 saje|syk0saje]] 08:25, 4 May 2011 (PDT)


* [[:Category: OSE|OSE]]
== Site Map ==

** [[:Category: Past Events|Past Events]]


is that ok? --[[User:Syk0 saje|syk0saje]] 08:12, 4 May 2011 (PDT)
I am hoping that all this re-organization of the wiki categories will lead to a new site map.  I find the site map to very valuable in navigating around and I'd like to see it handle categories at least three levels deep.  We could put the whole category structure up there, but that might be TMI (too much information).  Great work, BTW.  I'm loving it!  --[[User:Mjn]] 11:41, 4 May 2011 (EDT)

== Distinguishing project pages from tool/technology pages ==
Can't post in the web infrastructure forum, so I'll post here. I think all specific project pages should belong to the category "Project". Other pages that are not explicitly project pages shouldn't discuss the projects, only refer to them. For example, the entry "Tractor" should discuss tractors in general terms and perhaps specifically what OSE needs tractors to do. However, specific implementations of tractors such as "Lifetrac", "Microtrac", or any other tractor projects in the future should be distinct. These specific projects fulfill the needs and available technologies specified in "Tractor". [[User:Jason|Jason]] 10:00, 17 June 2011 (PDT)


== Categories for Related Groups and Collaboration ==
==Wireless category==
Current layout:
I'm planning on reorganizing the wireless category, making the root [[Wireless communications networks]] which will point to all other wireless areas of interest, including the projects. I'm going to add the wireless projects to the "project" category. Just wanting to know if anyone has a stake in the wireless area as I work through it. [[User:Jason|Jason]] 16:51, 20 June 2011 (PDT)
* [[:Category:Organizations]]
** [[:Category:Resilient Communities]]
* [[:Category:Friendly Organizations]]
* [[:Category:Related Groups]]
** [[Allied Organizations]]
** [[Friendly Organizations]]
** [[:Category:Related Wikis]]
** [[:Category:Collaboration Discussions]]


Proposed:
== Reorg ==
* [[:Category:Related]]
** [[:Category:Organizations]] (merge [[:Category:Friendly Organizations]] and [[:Category:Related Groups]] here)
*** Merge [[Allied Organizations]] and [[Friendly Organizations]]; then, create pages for their items.
*** [[:Category:Resilient Communities]]
** [[:Category:Related Wikis]] (Maybe rename to '''Wikis''')
** [[:Category:Collaboration Discussions]] (Keep this a sub-category of [[:Category:Related]] ?

We are restructuring the categories using the scheme in this google doc: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f-OqJJnzZzLcUMNzX4V7oUvEOn8KDq2Z0RWp9242lQI/edit?hl=en_US] so that everything will be in a logical place to be find-able. Right now the only main level categories we are using are OSE, Infrastructure (including FeF), GVCS, and Archive.
We are coordinating the project here: [https://secure.bettermeans.com/projects/2187]

category tree

Site Map
