This page is for thinking through some updates to the current global navigation items on the wiki and the sidebar nav items on the main page.


Global Nav Items

  • Spaces
    • Autogenerated
  • People
    • Is this section useful now or could be made more useful as a community directory?  Like https://people.mozilla.org/
      • autogenerated – maybe there are some Confluence plugins to make this section more useful?
  • Projects
    • Graduated
    • Incubating
    • Project Documentation
      • Project Incubation Exit Criteria – if we want to simplify the nav a bit seems like we could remove this since this is part of the Lifecycle doc which is already linked to in the nav
  • Groups
    • Calendar – seems out of place in this nav menu
    • Managing Zoom Meetings – seems out of place in this nav menu
    • Technical Steering Committee (TSC)
    • Move Task Forces here?
    • Move Regional Chapters here?
    • Working Groups – perhaps remove the process, proposals and updates links?
    • Special Interest Groups – MESIG missing + perhaps remove the process link
  • Labs – general comment: Labs content is spread across the wiki, Github and labs.hyperledger.org
  • Events
    • Global Forum
    • Meetups
    • Past Events
    • Move Calendar under here and call it Community Calls in nav maybe?
    • Move Managing Zoom Meetings under here?
  • Community – Rename to Contribute since everything on the wiki is related to the community
    • Contributor Guide
    • Linux Foundation ID
    • Chat
    • Mailing lists
    • Github
    • Bug reporting
    • Mentorship Program
    • Community Architects
    • Library – Remove: Out of data and not owned or being updated now.
    • Academic Program – Remove: Out of data and not owned or being updated now.
    • About – Remove: Is this page needed?  Seems like a duplication of the content on the main page

Sidebar Items on Main Page

General thoughts – must of these links seem out of date and not tremendously useful.  Would remove several links and add a new section about 'Recent Project Content' that points to dynamic content like good first bugs, recent PRs, upcoming calls, etc.

  • Space shortcuts
    • Technical Steering Committee
    • Security
    • /dev/weekly Newsletter
    • Marketing Hyperledger
  • Hyperledger Code of Conduct
  • Calendar of Public Meetings
  • About – Remove: Is this page needed?  Seems like a duplication of the content on the main page
  • FAQ
  • Legal – Does Confluence allow us to have a custom footer?  Might be good there to reduce clutter here.
  • Project Dashboards – Is this page up to date?  Seems like some content is out of date like the Besu roadmap
  • Project Lifecycle – Is in the global nav so do we need it here too?  And it is pointing to an old URL.
  • Project Proposals – Is in the global nav so do we need it here too?  And it is pointing to an old URL.
  • Proposal Template for a Hyperledger Project – Is pointing to an old URL and seems duplicative of content in global nav
  • Showing Your Support → Rename to Community Roles and move under Contribute global nav?
  • Special Interest Groups
  • Working Groups
  • Defect Response – Is pointing to an old URL and the page it redirects to hasn't been updated since 2019.
