right so to do we've just got glossary, listings and a bit of organise left.

My progress with organise is here

Glossary won't take very long, and need to sort out how we're gonna do, so could leave that.

listings - rkn what we gonna do?

i am going to have shitloads to do at work this week + and i'm well busy before going away so I don't think i will be able to finish organise, will someone else be able to?

Is antifa news done then??

Can we start taking sections off .org.uk?

Listings for I reckon now just add a load of links to delicious and use that, keep the information archived. It'd be good to get some kind of regional homepages going eventually - with tagged + forum posts together for different countries and stuff, then maybe we could integrate listings with that.

sure notes can go, and thought, and features, and blog, and history, fuck all of it except organise and listings. would be good if you could set up some forwards to that the links .org.uk has picked up over the months still work...

i think not all listings had webpages... rkn said he'd sort something out if he could think of a way.

Yeah i have had some ideas for listings, but they are more long term. Maybe just let me dl a copy of current listings from .org.uk and i will keep them for reference.

I will post in private about my ideas.

Have we got everything fro notes then? I think i maybe wanted to take something else

If we wait until we can delete all of it, we can redirect the entire directory on .org.uk to here I think.

Big thing we have to work on is doing indexes, making content easier to find.

glossary done and added to notes in browse menu.

only thing left to transfer is Organise - Misc action.

and maybe one or 2 individual articles shoved in the old site randomly.

we should edit main index to say 95% done.

main things now are
- indexes
- top + side menus
- thought/organise articles tidying up

From the perspective of the outsider some of these forums are confusing. On one, a new post is first and on others it's last.

no, it's always last, every time, like every other web discussion board.

Maybe (s)he means that on the index pages new posts are first?

could be that - but those are new threads, very different to new replies to an existing thread.
