RE: Introduction and MyProfile question

Thanks for your reply. I meant the Wiki-page, yes. I like it, it already gives
a nice overview. 

Concerning some kind of standard navigation, maybe it is nice to co-create something; As
a new comer I saw some navigation issues in a few sites of Community Groups I
have participated in. A first proposal for a standard landing page layout  (I also send something like this to federative
social web group):



















 
  
  What
  
  
  - Introduction (context)
  
 
 
  
  Value
  
  
  - Improvement to make (ideals)
  
 
 
  
  How
  
  
  - Approach, plan, timeline (nice example: http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/,
  but then with clickable 
    items maybe); also how to navigate on the
  site
  
 
 
  
  Now
  
  
  - Participate > Action, requests for expertise,
  participants
  
 
 
  
  Done
  
  
  - Products so far and status (also 
    minutes)
  
 
 
  
  More
  
  
  - Wiki (research, (links to) reports, 
    sources)
  
 





Thanks in advance,
kind regards, Wyb

Hello all, 
I have just joined the group and some other groups of W3CAs a supporter of open standards and as an Informatics student, combining among others social sciences and ICT, 
I am very curious about what you are doing and how you are working.I hope I can contribute something to the group though I am not really an engineer
Hi & Welcome!

 

First thing I noticed looking at the different sites of the different groups:
How things are organized is not always clear.

Community groups are a restively new part of the W3C, only being started in the last year.  Feedback on how we can organize things better is always welcome.
 
It is not easy as a new comer to jump in right away
Appreciated.  Over time, I'd like to help work on how we can improve things, make it more attractive, easier for new comers.

 Your group has already a nice starting page, the main page

Did you mean the home page or the start page of the wiki?  I recently redid the wiki front page to a new template.
 
that gives some overview and a handful of important links,but should't it be something that is standardized so that it becomes easier to participate quickly?   
so that it is clear right away what a group is doing at the moment, what the plans are and what it is in need for?
Definitely.  Community groups are less than a year old at the W3C, and I think there are almost 100 now.  Feedback on how we can make this group and others more welcoming would be appreciated.  Most of the people here are volunteers, but personally I'm definitely keen to spend at least a few hours a week improving things. :)

  
I looked also at the MyProfile pages:Is it the idea that all data about a person I could see on some pages (day of birth, address, etc.) is public?
The basic idea is to use web standards (based on web architecture and HTTP URIs) to build profiles for people that can communicate with other networks, and log in to applications.  


I think long term some data will be public, some only you can see, and some only available to your friends (a bit like facebook).

Maybe Andrei Sambra (who wrote my profile) can give some more detail...


 
Kind regards, Wyb
