= Introduction =
## Describe the purpose of this page
This is meant to be an idea pool for the redesign of the [[UbuntuMediaCenterTeam|Ubuntu Media Center]] [[http://www.ubuntumediacenter.org|website]]. This is primarily a task for the [[MediaCenter/MarketingStrikeForce|Marketing Strike Force]], but all team input is very welcome.

= Components =
## Describe the elements of the site
 1. '''Wordpress'''
  * Used to post news.
  * Functions as a light CMS for serving static content (About, Downloads, Screenshots, etc.).
## escape wikiword, ! doesn't work
 2. '''D''''''okuWiki'''
  * Used to house documentation, howtos, user-generated content, and information for developers.
 3. '''PunBB'''
  * Serves as the discussion forum.

= Navigation =
A top navigation shall be used. This will allow easier integration with the wiki and forum. A side navigation would limit the width of PunBB and D''''''okuWiki and this is unacceptable.
