[ogb-discuss] Community Simplification

[Alex Leverington]

And by project... they are only using a webpage, forum, endorsements,  
and roster...

Why is a UG a project...
Why aren't they "User Groups"?

I mean really, they ARE user groups. Why are they called projects?

The advocacy page should be listing the user groups it endorses  
independent of the projects it endorses.

The only "project" advocacy endorses, I see it, is the starter kit.  
Community Innovation is a SIG endorsed by advocacy and Country Portals  
is a SIG endorsed by advocacy and i18n but should technically also be  
endorsed by website cg. It seems the only tool on the site the CG uses  
that the UG/SIGs don't use is voting. (and only because CGs have CCs)

It seems this entire naming debacle has maybe been a limit of the  
website having to call everything 'project' or 'community'. Or was  
that an initial requirement?

I guess if everything is a generic group, and the site actually named  
groups for what they are (and not be limited to project or community),  
everything would be seamless.
