Re: User-definable custom lists of pages (based on preferred topics, flags and more)

fr0 & Paul,

The work here is looking really good. Thanks for all the great effort
earlier today!

Doug has some good ideas, too. Would it be hard to return checked-out
articles in red text? Then we could have a little note at the bottom of the
list to the effect that "Articles in red are currently being worked on."

We've already got it so that you can elect to display articles that are
checked out.

And...

Oh, yes, another

ENHANCEMENT REQUEST

Could we incorporate the queries for "Articles Needing Summaries" and
"Articles Needing Examples"?  Should be easy enough given that Paul has
already cooked up a list generator for "Articles Needing Examples" - which
we're using here<http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Getting_Started/examples/api>
.

The Getting Started
Test<http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/User:Scottrowe/test>page is
starting to take shape. To answer Julee's earlier question, my
approach is to first slice everything in terms of Basic / Involved /
Advanced. Then, within the Involved and Advanced sections, break down the
task lists further by domain (HTML, CSS, JS, MediaWiki, SMW, etc.) so that
we can satisfy the oft-cited requirement to provide domain breakout for
developers.

I have it on my list that we'll need to explain this better in the
three-column section at the top of the page, and to do that we need to
expand the size of the <div class="place-holder"><div class="inner">
sections, as they currently bleed into the body with too much text.

Does all that sound like the right approach?

+Scott
