Please make the 'Condor WIKI' a top level heading on the Condor home page. I did not notice the link.

Subject: [Condor-users] Improving community involvement [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

I was originally going to send this directly to Todd, but in the interest of openness I'll post to the list.

It seems like a recurring theme this year has been improving community involvement in Condor. I've had a few suggestions come to mind:

* The wiki has two audiences: developers and users/administrators. It would be nice if there was some separation in the content. It doesn't necessarily require separate wiki instances, but just a clear delineation.

* The recipes are a great resource, but it would be good if there was a page for people to request recipes. Some things that may seem obvious to people who have used Condor for years may not be so obvious to newcomers. I created a wish-list page[0] in the wiki and put a link at the top of the Recipes page.

* Along the same lines, would a wish list for Condor features be helpful? Sure, people could file tickets, but would a wiki page be more approachable?

* The IRC channel may be a more useful to the community if there was an IRC applet somewhere on the Condor site.

I think I had more ideas, but it's the end of Condor Week and my thinkerator is tired. Hopefully this prompts suggestions from others.
