Organization

Our challenge is to organize the wiki so that communities can find the information they need.

Main Branches

Teams, Projects, or Local Labs are the main branches of organization for the wiki. On the wiki navigation sidebar, Teams are listed in the Community block and premier Projects in the Projects block. See Sugar Labs for an overview of the organization.

Each branch may use a Colored Linkbar Header to help distinguish and organize their pages on the wiki. See the legend in the Team Pages example below.

Team Pages

Under the main Team, Project, or Local Lab pages are sub pages as reflected in a colored header, e.g.,

Team Home · Join · Contacts · Resources · FAQ · Roadmap · To Do · Meetings

Team Home	→ Team introduction
Join	→ How to start participating in a team
Contacts	→ How to contact the team
Resources	→ Team resources
FAQ	→ Frequently Asked Questions
Roadmap/Vision/Ideas	→ Team plans, in stages with schedules; or a vision; or just ideas for a newly formed project or team
To Do	→ Tasks the team is working on
Meetings	→ Schedule and Agenda for upcoming meeting, and logs of past meetings

(See Category:Team for the identified teams.)

Teams in Sugar Labs provide general services in their subject areas across the spectrum of projects. Team members may be active in multiple areas. Teams have a home page with links to pages in a team header for participation, contacts, resources, FAQs, a roadmap or their vision, tasks, and meetings.

Project Pages

Organized separately, or possibly under a team, is a Sugar Labs project, e.g.,

Sugar on a Stick project home · Join · Contacts · Resources · FAQ · Roadmap · To Do · Meetings

See Category:Project for the identified projects.

Projects in Sugar Labs are generally focused on delivering specific goals within a defined time period. They may require services from multiple specialties. Project members may be active in multiple areas. Projects may have a home page with links in a project header to pages for participation, contacts, resources, FAQs, a roadmap or their vision, tasks, and meetings. As projects mature and meet their goals, some may graduate to Product or Service status, like the Sugar Activity Library, others may simply be integrated into the Sugar Learning Platform or our archives of learning.

Local Labs

Local Labs affiliated with Sugar Labs may have a separate wiki instance and a presence here, e.g.,

Team Home · Join · Contacts · Resources · FAQ · Roadmap · To Do · Meetings

See Category:Local Lab for the identified Labs.
