What sorts of things do folks want to see on the trains front page?

Please mail me with your thoughts, as I've just assumed the curator role.
Probably best not to clutter the discussion with suggestions unless you
think they merit discussion themselves, just send them on in.

Mostly I am thinking update the representative/showcase sites (I already
removed mine, it's dated) and add more informational links...

Thanks!

The current page has some missing data.

Such as what?

"Will Chapman’s LEGO® Site (Link??)"
"Neat images of the (mumble time period)"

mumble?

There's nothing missing that wasn't missing when I took it on.
I've a mind to remove Will's link if no one comes forth with a correction
for it as it's a bit dated. Other than that everything is correct AFAIK.
Certainly if you or anyone else knows of particular factual errors and have
corrections, please send them in.

Perhaps you should consider tidying up the existing page, and making changes
offline/elsewhere until you have a professional looking effort for the group
to consider?

Is that how you do the pages *you* curate? Drop me a note with the URL of
one of your curated FTX pages and I'll check it out and learn from your
example. Thanks for the offer of mentorship, it's certainly appreciated.

What is your point? What is wrong with my suggestion?


Doing the work offline is certainly worthy of consideration but the way I'm
doing it is to modify the page as I get notes about what to add (and I have
gotten several already, thank you all very much). Less labor intensive that
way than keeping an offline copy

Take the lazy path if you wish, I'm sure newcomers will appreciate it. I
thought what I was suggesting was commonsense. It appears not.

(which, since it isn't HTML, can't just be
tested in any old browser, it has to be tested here on LUGNET).

Indeed. But why test it on the train page?
