Hi Franco, Athina, all

OK, I've had a think and I reckon there are a number of points to discuss.
(=> proposed actions.)

§ Homepage:
This page has a menu-bar at the bottom with the different categories (research, debate, section). 
We dont really need this any more as we are not grouping articles in this way. 

=> I can't modify this as this page appears to be blocked. Can you help? - thanks.

§ About: 
-"Mission statement" should probably be renamed "Submission" as the mission statement part is already on the first page and there is a lot more content to be added which details the kind of submissions (research, debate, etc) which we are interested.
-There is a page called "Participate" which should probably be renamed "Mailing lists" like this one: <http://cspp.oekonux.org/about/mailing-list>
This could also include a link to the still active jox cspp list.

=> Does everyone agree? I can't modify this either as all these page appear to be blocked. Can you help? - thanks.

§ Research section:
As you can see from say <http://cspp.oekonux.org/research/mass-peer-activism/rs1.1-swedish-file-sharing>, research articles have a lot of different files - there is a summary, the pdf of the paper, the pdf of final signals, and pdfs of backrgound material (the original submissions and reviews). The way it was set up in Plone was by having different pages for all these pdfs but it might be easier (if possible) to have them all on one page. 

=> What do you think? 

§ Structure:
I do need to return to the importance of having a page which gives a reasonably detailed summary of the content of each issue as FM does. Athina on this list and Francesca privately also agreed that this is necessary. So instead of the current content of the "Issue 0" page (which should in fact be the "Editorial") we should have something like: 

Issue 0: Mass Peer Activism

Editorial

Research: Mass peer activism
Jonas Andersson, "The origins and impacts of Swedish filesharing: A Case study".
Mathieu O'Neil, "The Sociology of Critique in Wikipedia".

Debate: ANT and power
Johan Söderberg, "ANT & Hegelian Marxism".
Nathaniel Tkacz, "In defence of ANT".
Mathieu O'Neil, "Domination & networks".

Reports
Johanna Niesyto & Nathaniel Tkacz, "Critical Point of View".
Leonhard Dobusch & Michelle Thorne, "Third Free Culture Research Conference". 

=> I am happy to do this, if you are OK with it. I realise that there are some smaller menus in sidebars on "Home" and the current version of "Research" but once again these only have section titles or article titles and I think it is the norm for research journals to have author/title.

cheers,

Mathieu

Alessandro raised this point a few weeks ago as well.
