Minutes

  • UHC flakiness - kim will email to say get in touch in Oct when you have someone, and we can see where we're both at.
  • Possible visit to the north west drupal user group next month. Post to list nearer the time.
  • Discussion on LJ vs facebook styles, see below. Opted to go with LJ style out of general preference.
  • Think about what could be better than "create content"
  • Try splitting files for MSM. Groups splitting will have to wait until someone has time to make a module! prob forever...
  • Will consider new blog.qvox.org/blog_name, events.qvox.org/event_name namespace
  • Will leave crossposting on for now and see what happens.

LJ

  • + it's dead easy to find the publish button - but it needs to be really visible
  • + Easy to crosspost and change crosspost options
  • + This means comments will be more centralised
  • + Single standardised interface
  • ~ Centralized vs decentralized
  • - Less intuitive for non LJ users.
  • - Slight messyness wrt what content types are allowed in a group vs what types are allowed on the site as a whole. Will make create content form look complex.

Facebook

  • + More intuitive to new users (probably) as links are where the UI elements are
  • + Hiding a content-type within a group would also hide the publish button for that content type
  • ~ more, simpler choices to get to the right place
  • - Makes crossposting much harder
  • - publish buttons would have to be very small or would take over the page
  • - need to make more than one interface
  • - menu hiding complication
