New Article Section on ez.no

Friday 20 January 2006 5:04:31 am

Greetings All,

We have made a specification which describes what we plan to do on the ez.no Web site to handle articles better and to allow for a better usability for reading. The changes will be applied to what is currently available at http://ez.no/community/articles.

You can download the complete specification here:

If you have any feedback please post a comment in this forum topic.

I agree. There exist much docs. on ez publish from forum-users, and I've also written some , i.e.:
- usermanuals for users, administrators and developers in different languages
- "Solutions - the 100 most common eZ publish questions and explanations"
- "The use of WebTrends and Webalizer together with eZ publish"
++
but not all of these are free/Open source. Therefore I cannot post the url to the website where I have all this docs. in this forum, because it will be seen as that I market own commercial "products" which is not allowed (ez forum policy).

I understand that it's not good to allow to market commercial products in the forum, but why not create a page where such information can be available as an alternative or addition to the ez docs., since much of this documentation from users of the forum are very useful and necessary to guide new users/potential customers into the world of eZ publish?`

Just a tip :)

Lukasz gave a brief rundown of future changes to ez.no including the article section: http://ez.no/community/news/strong_growth_of_the_ez_community

Here is a list of the items planned for enhancement and additional functionality:

    * Articles section
    * Contributions
    * Forums
    * Code snippets
    * Affiliates
    * Tip of the day ( users can contribute )
    * Polls
    * How-to section
    * Community blogs ( users can create a blog which will be fed to planet eZ publish )

This is surely great news. Still I wonder why the only items noted as (users can contribute ) were Tips of the day and Community blogs. Perhaps this was an oversight as users can already submit to Contributions and Forums.

I think that users should also be able to submit Code snippets, HOWTOs, Articles and Documentation (re: ez.no/doc or ez.no/documentation).

Several other users have already stated here as well as elsewhere in the forums, reasons for user submissions to the main documentation including revising existing documentation pages and creating new documentation pages.

Are other users looking to see the site grow to support user contribution in these additional areas as well? Further suggestion on areas of improvement?
