Humm, good ideas and instructions here. Need to figure out what goes where and page naming for this new feature.

This is probably a good overall page, we probably can use a Template:Repositories that includes

  • [[Repositories|Repository overview]] the template heading
  • [[Manage repositories]] This is the equal to an activity's Add/edit page as Helen points out, probably content of this page
  • Common repository settings - I am ignornat at the moment, are the settings for Utube the same as Google Docs (which I tried). Are we going to have seperate pages for those 15 plus Server, Private, and new?

Could be end of template here or go on with:

    • Server files(I think these things pop up on the site admin Plugin> Repository list if turned on.
    • Recent files
    • Upload a file
    • Private files
    • Other Standard repositories
    • Create a repository

This page and the template is for a site administrator but it will impact File picker.

Chris's roundtuit list, or someone else can jump in :) --Chris collman 12:49, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Chris, thanks as always for your contributions. However, I'm not following your chain of thought here. Please note that File system repository configuration provides instructions for administrators needing to configure a file system repository. As far as I know, the instructions are complete! Also, I don't think we need a separate Manage repositories page in addition to Repositories. Let's try and keep things as simple as possible on one page! --Helen Foster 21:48, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
I know you like it simple but I am too thick headed to see simple straight away :) My thinking was the site admin will get to plugins>respositories. Then they are going to see "Manage repositories" and a list of all the repositories that happen to be active. So by my logic, this page should be called "Manage repositories" since that is the the language of the schema. That expands a bit on my logic which after dinner and a walk in the snow with K-9 does not seem logoical based on the content of this page. I thought Repository was the new name for the file system.
I need to sleep on it after reading all the pages on this subject. Thanks for you comments --Chris collman 22:38, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
