Обсуждение: Static pages for PUGs?
WWW, Since pugs.postgresql.org has died, do we want to create some static pages for the various active PUGs, which will have links to the mailing list and external resource (wordpress, Meetup.com, etc.) for each? I ask because people are following links from Google and assuming that the disappearance of pugs.postgresql.org pages means that the respective PUGs are gone. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

I think the general idea was to have a wiki page (or more) for each. And probably a wiki category for all of them (Category:UserGroups for example). That will also give you an automatic index. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

We could if we wanted to, yes :-) But first, we need to actually have those pages on there... -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Would a viable alternative be to use the organizations from the main site and just classify which ones are PUGs?

Certainly - but I thought the organizations wanted to be able to add their own custom information and not be bound by the limited number of fields there? Or do you mean just use that as a list, and use the URL field there to point to the custom page? -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Both? ;-) FWIW I don't think PUGs really need too much custom info - name, managers, brief description, URL to meetup/whatever page,link to events posted in the system. I also realize by making these suggestions that I am most likely volunteering myself for these changes...

The minute you go into *any* custom information, you won't be able to use the general organization listing, really. It's used over *all* the website. That said, you can certainly make a *separate* PUGs listing on the main website, there is nothing preventing that. But you can't use the general orgaization one. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Yeah, I think the wiki would work better than the old pugs site did. I'd like to improve their search rank on google somehow, though, so that people find them when searching for user groups, but that's a later project. Should be fairly fast to put some pages up, I'll see when I have time (too much darned travel). -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com
