I thought we decided we would manually re-create the KB pages, rather
than having Moshe convert them.
We still need guidelines on setting up the navigation for "story" pages,
since they don't have an automatic navigation model like "book" pages.
Moshe is supposed to advise us on this.

Subject: [dita-fa-edboard] DITA FA Board Discussions: 12 Jan
We reviewed the technical priority list we compiled last week with Moshe
Weitzman, our Drupal consultant. Status is indicated below.
Per Moshe's recommendation, we've decided that, going forward, the Board
will:
a) Use "story" for new pages we create in the "Knowledge Base" and
"About This Site" sections.
b) Use "book" for new pages in the "Community" section.
Moshe will convert our existing book pages in KB and About to story
pages for us.
Technical Priority Status:
*Primary*
1. Privileges/permissions. Currently, the editorial board can't edit
existing pages. This is appears to be an on again/off again problem, as
some us could edit some pages yesterday.
This is fixed.
2. Left nav links need to be aligned properly. The fixes I requested
yesterday via email will be a big step forward.
Moshe will do this.
3. Database. We need to be sure the database is working properly, i.e.,
it's able to keep track of the pages that we've been adding.
Yesterday, in order to update a page, Jen had to submit it multiple
times until it found an empty node. Apparently, the page was stored at
the end instead of the beginning.
This is fixed.
*Secondary*
4. Graphic design.
Moshe will review the design we have, and let us know if there's any
problem with implementing it.
5. Forms for public input to Community Wiki pages.
There are lots of questions about getting this to work the way we need
it to, especially with regards to displaying items in chronological
order. Jerry will work with Moshe on this.
6. Text editor. Short-term, we can muddle along with what we have now,
but obviously, we need a better solution.
This may be fixed. Please post any additional text editor problems to
the Board list so we can discuss.
7. Formatting inconsistencies across browsers. On IE, the right nav
falls to the bottom of the page. You also can't select text in IE.
The right nav issue will be fixed when Moshe implements our graphic
design. The text selection problem is an IE bug.
*Other*
8. Forum support.
9. User group support--allowing non-editorial board members to create
new pages, post documents, etc.
10. Printing. At least some of us are unable to print pages.
We will deal with these "Other" tasks when the primary and secondary
items are resolved.
Thanks,
Carol
