Here's a draft of what the "publications" section on our website could look like:

I was going for a "table of contents of a classy book" style.  (I realize that classy books aren't normally 8.5 x 11 in a 3-ring binder, but.)  

I'm trying an attribution convention of first name for works by an individual member of staff, full name for works by community members, and no name for "the voice of the group".  (You can always see full names by clicking, or on our "people" page.)

This is just a draft, but I ended up adding all of the links (that are currently online) because it was just so immediately useful to have that list.

Let me know any comments, things to add or remove, etc.  (I don't the Eyeo talk on there, I guess because we'll have to talk to the organizers to dig it up, but maybe it should be?)


Backstory

Not long ago, I printed and collected every Alan writing and interview I could find, I guess because I needed guidance in troubled times.

When considering the Dynamicland publications page, I realized that our own writings hadn't even been collected in physical form.  I started making a binder similar to the Alan binders, and then thought that binder could "represent itself" on the main shelf (the red binder below).  (The shelf itself is very much still WIP.)

When you click on the binder, you'd see photos of the binder's table of contents, which you could then click on to get to the works, and that would be our publications page.
