EM Self Improvement

Ideas on how EM can be structured or organized better. Suggestions for Drupal modules, theme changes etc…

Planned Improvements (aka it’s on the list, it will get done)

  • Add views module or something to show up at em.com/software
  • Change the footer on blog & book pages (block with specific view settings?) use helptip
  • stateless / autosave content in content body while edit (ie: GMail autosave) (autosave module)

Ideas for Improvements (aka how do we do this)

  • dedicated button to “add software” in specific project view instead of “add child” (helptip? or hacking book mod?)
  • Items which are tagged as “working document” get a specific head message, like warning symbols in Wikipedia (helptip)
  • Filter: make info in brackets gray
  • easy way to link to taxonomy terms inside article
  • AJAX expandable sub points (some cck module?)
    • First bullet would be visible, but bullets underneath are hidden from view, or maybe a separate tag. This would allow for further explanation of items without cluttering the view.
  • Have author comments differentiated, sample code

Implemented

  • New content type for software applications to prevent Software tagging confusion
  • Filter: Auto Url
