Ten Recent GMOD Web Site Changes

[Dave Clements, GMOD Help Desk]

Hello all,

I'd like to call your attention to several recent changes in the GMOD
web site.  These changes are designed to make the site more useful,
and hopefully will make your GMOD web site experience downright
pleasant.  (OK, maybe just "more" pleasant, but we are aiming for
"downright".)


Ten Recent Web Site Changes to Make Your GMOD Life Easier:

1. http://gmod.org/wiki/index.php/Categories - Most of the pages in
the GMOD web site have now been tagged, and those tags can be used as
an alternative way to navigate the site.  We have also added tools
that make it easier to assign tags when creating content. (Note: The
category hierarchy is still work in progress.  Suggestions are
welcome.)

2. http://gmod.org/wiki/index.php/GMOD_News - News items of interest
to the GMOD community. This is also available as an RSS feed.

3. http://gmod.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page - Items from the GMOD News
page and recently edited pages (non-minor edits) now show up in the
right sidebar.

4. http://gmod.org/wiki/index.php/Calendar - Calendar of events of
interest to the GMOD project.

5. http://gmod.org/wiki/index.php/Glossary - Short definitions of
non-biological terms used in GMOD.

6. http://gmod.org/wiki/index.php/GMOD_Mailing_Lists - Shows more
lists, and sorts them into Overview, Component, and Inactive lists. If
your list isn't here, please add it.

7. http://gmod.org/wiki/index.php/Site_Guidelines - Guidelines for
creating and editing content on the GMOD web site.

8. http://gmod.org/wiki/index.php/GMOD_Help_Desk - Explains services
offered by the help desk.

9. http://gmod.org/wiki/index.php/Computing_Requirements - Description
of expertise and computing systems you'll need to set up a GMOD
installation.

10. http://gmod.org/wiki/index.php/Databases_and_GMOD - An overview of
database concepts and how databases are used in GMOD.

Note that several of these pages need continuing contributions from
the community.  That means you!  I particularly encourage you to get
in the habit of submitting new Calendar, Glossary, and News items.


Our next big goal for the web site is to reorganize the Chado
documentation.  Watch the web site for details on this.

As always, please let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Thanks,

Dave Clements
