Hi All,
I subscribed to send a simple, but very important request:
Please configure the Wiki and Mailing List archives CSS files to use
different colors for non-visited an visited links. It's extremely
hopeless to find information I remember, I already found before, in long
threads or the Wiki.
It's hard to choose a good link to let sure people understand which one
is the visited, so I link some guidelines:
http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20040510.html . The "Use different
colors", 4th section.
I like the idea of this documentation@ list, I hope it will help
organizing the Wiki. I think, the root of the problems is that nobody
dares to DELETE information. Even if people thinks, something is
outdated or invalid, they just ADD to it, never DELETE. (E.g. see
community portal frontpage with all those backlinks to the dead-old
wiki.) If content is moved, why not just link to the new content and
forget the old? (That includes me too, I didn't dare to remove
back-links, even if they look completely confusing.)
Many thanks,
Ferenc
