Renee notes from July 26 2012 | |||
The Asian Canadian Wiki is a wonderful project that will be a valuable resource in the years to come. Here are a few of my suggestions. | |||
o The addition of an info box. | |||
o This is an extremely user-friendly resource that allows a user to glean basic information quickly and efficiently. In my opinion, it gives the page a more modern look, more like Wikipedia. | |||
o The facet map | |||
o If the facet map slows the sight down too much, it should be discarded in favor of a high functioning website. | |||
o The front page | |||
o I’m not a designer, but I think the front page could look a bit more stylized and modern. Maybe smaller pictures that enlarge when you run your mouse over them. | |||
o Uploading photos | |||
o When I upload photos while I’m making a new article, the site malfunctions slightly. The picture uploads, but the page goes blank and I have to “go back” and then retype the jpeg name. | |||
o Dead space in the entries | |||
o Sometimes in between the homepage and the full body text there is a lot of blank space. http://asiancanadianwiki.org/wiki/Gulzar_Singh_Cheema | |||
o Simultaneous Update | |||
o Again, I’m not sure of the feasibility of this. Since much of our content comes from Wikipedia, to me it makes sense that as information is updated in Wikipedia, it should also update on the Asian Canadian Wikipedia. | |||
o Mandate | |||
o I think we need to define the mandate to include what differentiates ACW from Wikipedia, why it’s helpful to the average user etc. | |||
