This is my proposed plan for the great revamp of the FSD.
Contents
The problem
Many people have worked on the Directory over the years. Everyone pretty much had great ideas but the end result is poor. The main issue is that the Directory lacks good documentation. Important pages are scattered and hard to find. They are also inconsistent and poorly written.
The revamp
To fix the Directory, we must identify the most important pages that need to be updated.
List of pages to be updated
Using the prefix :Free_Software_Directory, I have identified the following core pages to be updated:
- Main_Page (this will be updated last)
- Free_Software_Directory:Requirements -> Requirements (DONE)
- Free_Software_Directory:About
- Free_Software_Directory:Participate
- Free_Software_Directory:Participate/Project_Team
- Free_Software_Directory:Free_software_replacements
- Free_Software_Directory:Antifeatures
- Free_Software_Directory:Free_software_evaluation
- Free_Software_Directory:Dependencies
- Free_Software_Directory:Golden_Oldies
- Free_Software_Directory:Workflow
- Free_Software_Directory:Administrative_dispute_resolution
- Free_Software_Directory:Hack
- Free_Software_Directory:Import
- Free_Software_Directory:Infrastructure
- Free_Software_Directory:Issues (+ BAG + backlog + active backlog)
- Free_Software_Directory:Website_guidelines
