Projects/OKFreview/OKF definitive lists

= OKF review issue 1 =

What is the definitive list of an OKF project? e.g. where does one look to find links to all the key information about any project? Should it be a wiki page, such as this, or a page on the main OKF site, such as this?

I suspect that the answer is that it actually does not matter what the definitive list is; all that matters is that there is one. People will have different opinions on how best to write the definitive list for their project, so in the spirit of the community, just let them do so.

The OKF can simply state that a project must have a definitive list, and that the link to it must be provided on the /projects page on the main OKF site. From each project listing should be a link to the definitive list of a project. From the definitive list should be all links to additional documentation, resources, external sites, etc. (Also, the drop down menu under Projects on the main OKF site does not match the content of the /projects page; these must be matched up.)

= outcomes =


 * An OKF project should have a definitive list page on the OKF website, for example http://okfn.org/projects/okf-review. This page should be a jump-off page, linking out to more in-depth information elsewhere.
 * The /projects page at okfn.org/projects should list all current projects, and link to their definitive page on the OKF website. All outgoing links should occur from there.
 * The person / group responsible for a particular current project must ensure that the project page on the OKF site is kept up to date. This will allow for a simple way for anyone, including an OKF project co-ordinator, to find relevant information for all current projects.
 * The drop-down menu under projects on okfn.org should be removed. Then it is a simple matter of updating the projects page itself whenever a new project starts up, or a project completes.
 * This will lead further into the issue of how a project incubates - and at what stage it is listed as a current OKF project.
 * There are further developments to the OKF website planned. This should not be an issue in regards to what has been specified here, in that it is not so important what form a project definitive list page takes; what is important is ensuring each project has one and that it is up to date. If the website redesign project moves to something more substantial than a simple web page, that should still fit with the principle specified here.
