I thought about abstracting the "Table of Contents" from the title of all the stories in the section.

"Occasional Series" would be good, too. DoDo has collected the links to all his train blogging, as well as his Hungarian history diaries ans much more.

Re: Indices (none / 0)

I'd also recommend harmonising the chronology (I'd prefer new to old). Also, I think this kind of list can make sense on the left side of the page...

Re: Indices (none / 0)

I'm thinking we should have only one list on the left side of the page, not two lists.

Re: Indices (none / 0)

Indeed. Right now it's a break between reccd diaries, debates, and recent diaries.

Re: Indices (none / 1)

Some more comments:

The menu is a bit long right now. Do we still need the 'Advertise' button? Can the google search function be integrated on the main search page? The links to the wiki categories could be deleted since their functionality (what remained of it) will largely be taken over by the indices/series/resources bar.

Re: Indices (none / 0)

If we are going to provide old discussions for people outside the general user base, would it make more sense to convert them to Static pages? Serve them from a static front page, with the actual discussion board being a link off the static front page. (possibly convert the individual groups of Diaries into PDF based documents so that they are easily downloaded)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: Indices (none / 1)

Strictly PN point, but the standard plural of index is indexes (indices being more specially tech/math/stat). Ie one would say "book indexes" rather than "book indices".

But something along the lines of "series" as suggested, would probably be better.
