[TYPO3-edu] New Site, Content Tree

[Gina Steiner]

hi all,
thanks to denis for starting the discussion.

> 1. home/ intro-
>   - TYPO3.edu news

i don't know if we'll have enough news for that.

>   - the main TYPO3 features + the things suitable for academic 
> organizations (in brief)

that sounds good, a brief introduction not very specific (no names of 
extensions) also for schools or boarding schools...
more specific information under 3.) to avoid redundancy. i would suggest 
some general information concerning edu relevant typo3 stuff. what's 
possible and for sure what's not possible (yet) with typo3.

does it make sense to list extensions because they change so fast?
some idea we had at the dev: is it possible to categorize the ter like 
it is done with the agencies listed on typo3.org?
@claudio: did you get any information about that?
so it would be easy to list all extensions categorized as "educational" 
from the ter.

> 3. target groups
>   - teachers
>   - students
>   - those who manage the project
>   - IT personnel

i would prefer that

> or
> 
> types of projects
>   - campus portal
>   - University/college portal
>   - e-learning portal
>   - students portal
>   - library

i think these are listed with the examples

> 4. examples/ case studies/ references
>   - educational institutions using TYPO3 (are there Universities from 
> english speaking countries?)
> 5. TYPO3 for you (Support)
> 6. Imprint

i think the topic "E-Learning with TYPO3" is useful, because the buzz 
word e-learning is used. i think people are looking for that.
