DISCUSSION

TOPIC: topic hierarchy

Did a sitemap inventory here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnXre3v9CjJXdHdKRlFZY2lRREkwVDNndDU5RWdzYnc

CORS is not supported. Will try JSONP

TOPIC: how do we address bad URLs?

Can’t do it in the MW.

Original vision: if user types keyword, and keyword isn’t in system, prompts user for better options; a manner of spell checker, even soft matches; Can’t do it in the MW.

patrickdsouza: can run xml files through a spell checker

ACTION: patrickdsouza to file a bug and test this theory

What about the new URL structure?

we need to define a new taxonomy

… currently no differentiation, but wouldn’t be reflected in URL

There’s a bug for ryan to do a chron job which would update the site map. When we fix the page, the sitemap will be correct.

When will Ryan get to it?

… give access to webmaster.google when someone asks

… promo when page view numbers jump to 5K

TOPIC: ads?

for preferred landing pages…

evergreen content (evergreen: like the questions asked in an interview. so it’s always going to be searched. But if you have a specific need to promo it, then pay for it)

Do do social media campaigns for Seasonal is hot topics, buzz words, new features doc’d or implemented

But we should work on organic first.

Agenda 2013-04-12

TOPICS

TOPIC: Sitemap

Discussion

Submitting a sitemap to Google is dependent on Ryan extracting the portions we want to expose to crawlers, see:

http://project.webplatform.org/infrastructure/issues/10

sitemap-wpwiki-NS_0-0, sitemap-wpwiki-NS_6-0, sitemap-wpwiki-NS_14-0, sitemap-wpwiki-NS_102-0, and sitemap-wpwiki-NS_3000-0

We should put map in a user-friendly output and review site map for alignment with architecture

TOPIC: Topic Clusters

Topic clusters, for example: http://reference.sitepoint.com/css/background-color

Color and Background is topic cluster

shepazu thinks individuals should not create topic clusters and that topic cluster is only for reference pages

We have a mechanism to create a predefined topic cluster, including reference pages; natural categories; 1st we have a list of topic clusters with all the pages that go in that cluster; for each page, which clusters does it belong in?

two issues: another layer of categorization, e.g.: background, list props, box, layout…

2nd any ref or tut or concept page can be attached as well

Isn’t See also mostly a related topic cluster … for any give topic cluster, it gets into a see-also section

shepazu: to get clarity on how to cluster, don’t add more URL nodes

shepazu: it should be fairly easy to do. the actual HTML should come from a special page, when passed parameters

then the parser tag would output the ESI, pointing to the special page

TOPIC: Analytics report

A Report / Overview page that bubbles up to general meeting

scottrowe_ wants summary of DocSprints: e.g.: this attendee touch these pages – what were the individual contributions

Have it be persistent - we lost data because we didn’t go to the recent pages changes soon enough

Would be great to have the data grabbed and encapsulated

Also nice to have this in relation to other campaigns

what limits did Scott run into when trying to get the data?

scottrowe: MW only let’s you see up to 1000 pages

You can force it to give you 1K by changing the value in the URL

1K was only 3 hours of the Doc Sprint

… Ryan said you could do so with DB queries … but it’s expensive

TOPIC: campaign tracking & segmentation

patrickdsouza: add campaign tracking to pages before Doc Sprint, etc.

patrickdsouza: we can compare different campaigns set a “docsprint” property on a page, and ID that page
