Replying to myself: the only respondent was Rudy who got sidetracked
trolling for a fight about using a form element as navigation. ;)
The first post on that thread is here:
http://lists.evolt.org/theforumarchive/Week-of-Mon-20020204/003123.html
Here's some of what I wrote (with a few modifications) in my previous
attempt to kickstart a thread:
---
Existing elements which I assume we'll maintain:
- branding
- positioning
- category nav
- organisation navigation
- general info (about/contact/etc)
- search tools
- latest articles
- account tools
- submit article
- jobs (not shown by default; could be switched on by user pref)
- revived article
- footer
- admin tools (show/hide ability)
- highest rated articles
- hot discussions
- latest comments
And maybe some we should include:
- reduced news (headline/date/contributor; no synopsis)
- featured article
- donate to evolt promo
Some things which I think we should promote more heavily:
- submit article
- the lists
---
I think that we should consider 2 promo spots on the frontdoor. These would
generally feature "submit an article" and "ask a question (on thelist)", but
could also cycle things like future surveys, sub-site/project launches,
major events, etc.
