Impact to the Social Coding website
If positioning as proposed above, the Social Coding website needs to be adapted to reflect that properly.
- Make landing page more succinct, matter of fact. Move texts to introductory blog post Coding is Social.
- Overhaul of the site hierarchy as reflected in the left-side navigation bar.
The navigation bar will get the following structure:
Top-level
- Home (landing page)
- Principles of Social Coding
Methodology
- Practitioners guide
- Pattern library
- Common challenges
- Patterns and practices
Ecosystem
- Communities
- Forgefriends
- Fedi foundation
- Projects
- IdeationHub
- Delightful gems
Movement
- Join the movement
- Blog and news
- Publish to this site
- Glossary of terms
Positioning as a Movement
I was a bit lazy and hasty at the time we started social coding initiative and only did domain name checks and a search for “Social Coding” (with the quotes) in DDG which yielded no results. But it appears that was too fast, too quick. There are definitions and sites out there.
However, the application specifically to free software development lifecycle is rather unique. As is on a technical level leveraging the Fediverse to help add social support. And the domain name is quite good. So we’ll stick with the name, and refer to the initiative as “Social Coding Movement” to distinguish from other initiatives.
