Improve Internal Discoverability

[patricoferris]

As @rudradesai200 mentioned in #39 we could add a sitemap or search functionality. I'd be interested to know what parts you were finding hard to navigate? I think if we could solve these problems without resorting to sitemaps or search it would be better.

I think there are definitely some areas of improvement, for example I think the rough and ready layout of the ocaml.org proposal improves upon the current layout: https://deploy-preview-27--ocaml-explore.netlify.app/ -- would love to know what you think :) ?

[rudradesai200]

Sure, give me a few days, I will mostly complete going through the complete website and report the things which I found hard to navigate.

[patricoferris]

I think this is probably outside of the scope of this project for now -- especially if this gets linked into ocaml.org at which point I think it will be covered by ocaml/ocaml.org#1174

[rudradesai200]

I am sorry, but I didn't exactly understand the conversation going on there.
By "especially if this gets linked into ocaml.org", do you mean that this project will get linked there?

[patricoferris]

Sorry, my fault, I wasn't clear just manically typing and overloaded use of the word "linked".

Anil's response to Gargi asking about a search for discuss, mailing lists and ocaml.org:

I think we'll need to think about what a consolidated search engine would look like for ocaml.org, since it should also get the API docs indexed... I'll split that out into a separate roadmap issue for next year once we get the short term stuff out of the way.

The eventual future of Explore OCaml's content is hopefully to end up in (not linked as I said before) ocaml.org so this search should cover it meaning we don't need to roll our own and duplicate the amount of work.

[rudradesai200]

Ohh okay. Got it. So for now we should not worry about the searching, and we should focus on the workspaces.
