Always has been, always will be! {;-> Sorry, in this point it doesn't interest that country belongs or not to some region. Regions or not regions, this is the questions. Already with Pia one had spoken that it was better to make it short. softwarefreedomday.org is already an url something long + continent/region+country+team It is not good neither for people neither for the bots. a lot of click or redirecciones, neither are good.

Structuring the SFD Wiki for 2011
by Frederic Muller - SFI 12 May '11

12 May '11

Dear all, I have started to work on the wiki structure for 2011 and considering the issues we had last year with the American continent we are orientating ourselves towards a different split. We will keep the same sub-structure of Continent/Country/City/Team or sometimes Continent/Region/Country/City/Team . This year we will be stricter on the City/Team as we had some city page hijack in 2010 where some team took the whole page and other teams in the same area had issues being listed. Yes for small areas it lengthen the URL but we need to be fair to all teams. We will keep the "URL shortener service" as well (need to be arranged for 2011). The 2011 home page can be found here: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2011 No country page has been added yet, and I also need to adapt all the templates which Thilo did last year. Subdivisions chosen is available here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas#Terminology - 3rd one from the top. I still have a few questions before I start copying and adapting stuff from 2010: - Is the chosen split ok? The logic is that we have 3 areas. I discarded the 3 other splits because: * Split 1: the one we used last year and which people complained about * Split 2: so few countries in Central America and then there is one more zone called Caribbean making a total of 4 zones * Split 4: it's a 2 zones split, but not matching what one could think of physical continents. - The entry page for South America is currently in Spanish (same as 2010). Does it make sense? http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2011/SouthAmerica - Should we keep the 3rd split which is currently implemented I would suggest to place the 2 countries in green in Middle America but without much background information. What do you guys think? - Maybe someone could resend that email to the planning-es list translated so everyone fully understand what it's all about (and then translate the feedback back too... No hablo español) - Maybe same goes for planning-pt, though I don't think we have a lot of subscribers yet. Thanks and looking forward to constructive feedback. PLEASE DO NOT CREATE TEAM PAGES YET AS STRUCTURE COULD CHANGE! Fred SFI President
