Foldocs

Examples

A research group

Projects, people and news, written by the whole group.

A research group already shares a drive: proposals, papers, notes from meetings. Its website is often harder to update, because it lives elsewhere, behind someone else's login. With Foldocs, the website is one more shared folder.

The folder

On the site

Three rows on the home page: Research, with a subsection per project; People, in the order of their numbers, each with their photo on their card; and News, newest first, filterable by papersΒ and talks. Join usΒ sits next to the folders, so it is a page in the menu, after the sections. See Folders become sections.

Working together

Drive decides who may write: give the group edit rights, and everyone keeps their own page up to date, with comments and suggestions as usual. The public only gets the link to view, which is all Foldocs needs. No one needs an account on the website itself.

Good to know

  • An introΒ in each project's folder opens its page: one line under its name, then what it's about
  • Papers as Docs get their own pages; a PDF in the folder is left out, so link to it instead
  • Search engines see who the site is by and when each post was published: see Search and sharing
