Only minor differences. Should we pick one and combine them?

Content reviews (1)
There have been no changes to this discussion for at least 14 days. If it is concluded, you may want to write a summary.
Trying new ways to get WE collaboration AND to address the findings in Randy's report about identifying content by level for adoption. Everyone can write reviews of any resources - in WikiEducator and elsewhere.
For content reviews, there needs to be a couple of minor changes to the ContentInforbox template. I took the liberty of making them.
Categories - include information about the field as well as the value - this will help group content and content reviews by Level, Subject, etc. It also indicates that these categories were generated by the ContentInfobox template.
TO DO
- change the template so there isn't a big space above it on the display page.
- link all the field identifiers to the description of the field and suggested values. Should these link to the descriptions in the template? Or should there be a Help page for this?
- are there instructions for creating a page that lists all pages with either a particular category or family of categories? e.g., Subject:Science
Help wanted (1)

Alison raised a good point. Maybe we should be using the ContentInfobox with just a sub-box for help wanted (like the buddy box for personal info boxes.
Looks like Wayne and Brent are the main updaters of the ContentInfobox. How would this fit with the intent of the ContentInfobox template? Is there a "process" for change requests? Do we need a general WE change request process and/or category?

Left & right justification (1)
There have been no changes to this discussion for at least 14 days. If it is concluded, you may want to write a summary.
OK, re our IRC chat on float left / or right of the infobox.
I see the current deployment doesn't implement any text wrapping. Left and or right justification assumes text wrapping.
I like the idea of a text wrap -- and with right justification we get the "3 column" layout look going.
Any - take a look and see what you think looks best.
Cheers
Thought about the info icon (1)
There have been no changes to this discussion for at least 14 days. If it is concluded, you may want to write a summary.
Hey Brent,
WikiRandy was in my office today -- and I was showing the ContentInfobox --
He suggested that it may be better to use the generic information icon - see for example:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Information_icon.svg
I think this may convey the concept of "Infobox" better.
I'll have a play -- if you don't like it -- just revert :-)
Cheers

Brent - great job on the info box (1)

Hi Brent,
Great job on the info box -
I saw it today, and think it's very cool.
I suggested to Wayne that we have a more identifiable way of 'identifying' the infobox....I suggested putting an "i" - for information - into the actual folder... but as you can see, he's pretty psyched, so he's gone ahead and done it himself!

Bug or intended? - Variable width of Infobox (1)
There have been no changes to this discussion for at least 14 days. If it is concluded, you may want to write a summary.
I see that the width of the Infobox varies according to the text of "longest" row.
So for example, if someone writes a long description -- you will end up with a wide Infobox.
Wouldn't it be better to specify a fixed width for a consistent look and feel across the wiki. In the case of a long decrtiption, I think that it would be better to spill over to the next line.
Also - as we suggested on IRC, a smaller font will help conserve real estate.
Cheers
