    v1 v1  
     1= WebKit.org =
     2== Redesign & Updates ==
     3What can we as a project do to make our website and other external artifacts work better to get the message out about what we are doing, etc.
     4 * Existing website is very disorganized.
     5    * Blog is not especially up-to-date.
     6    * Planet is out of date.
     7
     8== Content Plan ==
     9Our audience:
     10 * Existing contributors
     11 * Prospective contributors
     12 * Web developers who are looking for reference materials.
     13
     14=== Goals ===
     15 * Build trust
     16 * Educate and Delight
     17 * Engage
     18
     19=== Content Plan ===
     20 * Up-to-date references
     21 * Regular articles
     22 * Feature spotlights
     23 * Epic Tech Dives!
     24 * Contributor Resources
     25 * Plans
     26
     27== Plans ==
     28 * WordPress Powered site (backed by Trac)
     29 * Want to keep same credentials we use for svn to reduce overhead on users (having to create separate accounts).
     30 * Want to avoid the "staleness" of the current Wiki, and deal with lack of context and difficulty in finding things.
     31
     32== status.webkit.org ==
     33 * A portal to show current changes and activity in the project.
     34 * Evangelists and project managers from other companies are "telling the story of WebKit", and don't do as good a job as we can.
     35 * We should take ownership of this and present relevant information to our viewers.
     36 * We should do a better job of explaining where we have implemented features, versus when they have shipped.
     37 * Proposal:
     38   * Create a JSON file of features. Engineers update this file as they work on features.
     39   * Need a script to check the syntax of the file, perhaps a test page that shows you what your change will look like.
     40   * Lots of fear that this will not be updated and kept current.
     41   * Several tools and possible approaches were discussed, along with pros and cons.
     42 * For policy documents, we should use some kind of MarkDown-based system.
     43 * For things that change only rarely, and that need oversight and careful review, we need something more.
