Index View

Is there any way we can get rid of the whole index paradigm for the front page? That's why the search function exists: to let people find pages. It's a little 'un-wiki' to have everything indexed on the front page. Anyone else agree? -051006 djspiewak [at] gmail

I'm going to start working on a way to change the front page up a bit so that it's more wiki. This has really been driving me nuts.  :-) Obviously you can roll things back if you dissagree. Djspiewak.gmail.com 13:40, 23 May 2006 (EDT)

Go for it. --Denis.roy.eclipse.org 10:34, 16 June 2006 (EDT)

Well, I was going to go for it...  :-) I just ran out of time to try. Djspiewak.gmail.com 19:51, 24 July 2006 (EDT)

Alright, I've forked the main page to Main Page In Development. I'll be doing all experimentation over there (so as not to screw up the production main page). I probably won't have much time to devote to the effort. Anyone with any ideas is welcome to contribute! Djspiewak.gmail.com 13:03, 30 October 2006 (EST)

Ok, I've got some preliminary ideas going on Main Page In Development. For the moment, I'll procede with where I'm going. If anyone has any ideas, suggestions, insults, I'd appreciate the feedback. Djspiewak.gmail.com 04:10, 15 December 2006 (EST)

I like the ideas you're putting together on the development page - makes a better use of space! --Denis.roy.eclipse.org 08:24, 18 December 2006 (EST)

Any idea when the development page will become the main page? --Denis.roy.eclipse.org 06:34, 12 January 2007 (EST)

Well, I had been doing it in my spare time, not really too interested in it. But since I know you care...  :-) What I need to do is tag all of the pages with category information. There's a lot of pages so I figure it will take me a while, but that's what needs to be done. Once I do that, I'll link the categories from the development page, make sure everything is in sync, and then switch it over to production. Djspiewak.gmail.com 11:40, 12 January 2007 (EST)

Well, I've moved it into production (as you can see). Feel free to revert if you don't like it. The old index is still linked pending all the pages getting categorized - which is frankly far to large of a task for me to undertake alone in my spare time.
