Howto redesign part 1

Open dkess opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

This is the first phase of re-organizing staffdocs to be nicer to use. There are two big changes in this PR:

  • I've re-organized the folder structure for staffdocs, so there is now a "howto" section with subfolders that represent categories.
  • The howto section is displayed using a masonry layout

It looks like this: 2019-01-20-224841_1316x818_scrot

Note that this PR is not being merged into the master branch-- instead I'm using a branch called staffdocs-redesign. I don't want to productionize this until the URLs stabilize. In a future PR, I plan to merge some pages (like sorry/unsorry) together.

Thanks for the feedback. I realize this patch has been sitting here for quite some time. However, this is kind of a good thing since I'm looking at the categories with a fresh set of eyes, and I agree that changes should be made.

Putting printing in its own category seems like a good decision, since it certainly seems tangential to most of our other infrastructure.

Infrastructure and Maintenance also look like they should be merged. I don't think I even remember what the difference was supposed to be for those.

User Services and Account Management have a slightly better line between them: user services are procedures specific to a request a user might make, either over email or in person. Account management is for general tools used when dealing with accounts.

I do plan to merge some articles here. If the number of articles in user services and account management are small enough, I would definitely consider merging those categories as well.

Misclick sorry, I closed this and have no idea how to reopen it.

fwiw, I am not sure if this will ever be merged. I would rather us use a static site generator for docs.
