Need to figure out what should be on the home page, what is useful for a user?

The cms homepage?

Actions:

  • add content entry
  • view content entry(s)
  • create content entry type

Info:

  • content calendar
  • activity log
  • content kanban?

Creating a content type is always available from the main nav, but duping it on the home page couldn't hurt.

I wanna stay far away from process stuff if possible and keep the cms somewhat generic, so probably no Kanban.

The rest of that sounds awesome though.

Kanban was misleading, I was thinking more of listings of content in it's current state: drafted with EN, drafted with locs, published, unpublished.

That sounds wicked useful, but very tough to make generic-enough to fit in w/ the CMS. A simpler version would be possible, but it'd only have three columns. Unpublished, Published, Scheduled. Not sure how valuable that'd be.

The details you're talking about seems more like the sort of view we could add as a server console on the jssrv consuming the content, probably. It could even deep-link to the CMS for editing content.

Seems like a lot of "stats + recent posts". I like the idea of quick posts on the homepage but that would be a real PITA to pipe through with how flexible the schemas can be.

Agree wrt quick posts. If recent posts are grouped by type, I could see a "new post of post type" button.
