            Bug ID: 20664
           Summary: [dis][general][2h]Update webplatform.org main
                    navigation links
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: webplatform.org
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: content
          Assignee: cmills@w3.org
          Reporter: cmills@w3.org

At the moment, we have six navigation items on the main webplatform.org page:

* Docs
* Q&A
* Blog
* Chat
* Tutorials
* More

The first three are fine, but the last three need an update:

* Chat only provides information on the IRC room, and doesn't cover the other
methods of communication we have available, such as the mailing list, Q&A, etc.
* Tutorials isn't needed, as the tutorials can be found under docs.
* More is just a duplicate link, pointing to the Docs homepage.

There have been a number of discussions on e-mail about how to improve this,
see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webplatform/2012Dec/0146.html
for the start of the thread.

The most sensible so far, in my mind at least, comes from a recent exchange
between Chris Mills (me) and Julee Burdekin, which says that we should replace
"Tutorials" and "More" with 

* "Events", which could link to our events page (currently there's a rough
version at http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Community/Community_Events), or
perhaps we could title it "Community"  and have it linking to a more expanded
page that includes some blurb on what we do in the community, Doc Sprint in a
box, and a list of upcoming events you can participate in. I would prefer the
latter, as a better balanced, more complete page to link to, which would kill
multiple birds with one stone.
* "Editors", which could link to the forthcoming editors guide
(http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Editors_Guide). A place for editors old
and new to access the info they need to get on with contributing to the site.

Chat, meanwhile, could be replaced with a more general link — "Discuss" — which
would include info about all methods of communication/discussion we have
available.

What do we think? Provided we agree, I will create separate actions for

* Finish community page and link main nav to it
* Finish editors guide and link main nav to it
* Update Chat to Discuss, and add updated text to that page.

Note: Updated text for the "Discuss page can be found at
http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/TEST:discuss
