[GRASS-web] GRASS website migration - content types

[Wolf Bergenheim]

Hi!

On Saturday I have scheduled time to make the 
http://grass-dev.osgeo.org/ website ready for access to GRASS developers.

But before I do I ask you to help me compile a list of page types we 
have in the current site, to get started here are the types of pages I 
know of:

* News items (Releases and other small stuff)
* Events (can be shown on an event calendar)
* Screenshots (we can have galleries of screenshots, categorized like 
they are now)
* Normal pages
* Features (lists of features GRASS have and each feature gets its own 
page to describe it more, an example is here: 
http://drupal.org/features) I know we don't really have such a page yet, 
but it would be nice for users to have an easy access to the list of 
features (it is long)
* Documentation. These could be made into what are called books in 
Drupal (http://drupal.org/node/284). But the current ones are I believe 
hosted off site, so they are basically, I guess link lists.

Anything else I might have missed?

Once this list is complete and before I open up grass-dev we need to 
agree on a set of rules on how each page type should be converted.
The page urls can be kept the same, or we can change pages around (or do 
that later). For now I think it might be easier to keep the urls as they 
are, perhaps skipping any .php prefixes.

Another thing to agree on is the menus. What menus do we place where? Do 
we want to have OSGeo menus like other OSGeo projects (on the right 
side)? What about the existing 2-tier menu? Do we put the Top links also 
on the top of the page (I vote yes). And I also recommend that we can 
have a navigation menu on the left side which is the same as the current 
(changing) left-side menu. If you want I can take care of all this, and 
let you guys take care of the content.

Last I'd like to say don't worry about mistakes we can always change 
stuff around. Let's have fun with this, if it feels like work, then 
something is wrong ;)
