Under construction, getting there, but a still a work in progress.  
+
This page is a catch-all area of ideas of what we COULD or MIGHT to do improve http://project-higgins.org. What we'd like to do for 1.1 is here: [[Higgins 1.1 Wishlist]]
  
== Wiki ==
 
* Bugfixes for 179537 - Done
 
* Re update wiki pages to refresh nav cash where necessary (Top pages only) - OK now
 
  
* Propose wiki page release versioning to dev list with sample page. (For now there is a released version and an underdevelopment version. At some point we may need to support more versions. Navigation link is to the released version with a link near the top of the page to previous versions.  Need to play with layout/text to make this clear and easy. Consider converting wiki doc to php when doc is released.)
+
== Misc ==
* Create an Eclipse Community wiki bugizilla item for supporting project specific look and feel's
+
* Create new Higgins specific look and feel "template once we know the format and have new look and feel for website.
+
 
+
 
+
== Website Look and Feel ==
+
* Jack draft new text picture concept for new home page for 3/25
+
* Update plan with additional tasks and sequencing
+
* Can MediaWiki support expanding tabs?
+
* Respond to Bjorn about fad and button so rebels have some commonality - initial request 3/24
+
* Review status of effort with respect to engaging a Designer
+
* Prepare package for Designer for objectives for Higgins website - goal is new design and images that we can use to implement new look and feel and organization for www.eclipse.org/higgins website.
+
** Bjorn is requiring a link to the standard project information somewhere in the upper left area of the page.  Something to be the equivalent of this: http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/project-status-infrastructure/left-menu.php  At the moment he is requiring the "About This Project" wording, etc., but is open to other ideas for our new cool pages.
+
** Link to sample fade from Eclipse logo to Higgins logo. (Website still needs to have Eclipse logo at the top, like Apache projects have the feather. This is just an initial pass)
+
** Still has Eclipse legal stuff at bottom. 
+
** Implementation:  New design is in PHP and technically compatible with Eclipse.org site where it will run.
+
** Here is a proposed home page concept: very top-level description of the three-layer cake, with some cool illustrations (not these, these are just placeholders) highlighting each. [[Image:Proposed_higgins_home_page.png|thumb|center|Proposed Home Page Concept]]
+
** --[[User:Paul.socialphysics.org|Paul.socialphysics.org]] 16:35, 21 March 2008 (EDT) comment on the above image. I think that the Higgins logo should not be on equal standing with the Eclipse logo across the top. I think Eclipse should be much smaller, less prominent.
+
** Passes the 5 second test
+
** etc.
+
* Iterate on new design with Designer.
+
* Vet new design with Higgins dev list.
+
* Implement new design.
+
* Update Eclipse project "about" page that works with the new design.
+
* Create new version of intro/benefits text
+
 
+
== New Downloads organization ==
+
* Create new download approach
+
** Design new download approach to meet the needs of different "users"
+
** Vet download design with the dev list.
+
** Develop new content required by download approach
+
**Implemement new download approach - bugzilla: 218923
+
 
+
== Navigation - somewhat related to redesign ==
+
* Website navigation
+
** Make one more clean-up pass on proposed navigation.
+
** Post re-revised navigation organization to Higgins-dev listPropose to Dev list for feedback
+
** Implement new nav (implies re packaging of some web and wiki pages)
+
** Redirect higgins-project-org to www.eclipse.org/higgins when ready
+
**Website navigation
+
** Implement new nav in meta data for wiki
+
** Update all wiki pages to get new nav (add higgins project control code where still needed)
+
