Organizing Bangari DOCs

I know Kevin has rightly said that the organizing of the DOCs is less important than the writing and other functions within Bangari but it's either the housewife or the artist in me that has lead me to organizing my articles in DOCs and I think when we have 100's of writers organization will become essential. So if you have the time and patience to play around with this aspect of Bangari try this.

If every writer has a primary collection under their name: (for example) Petal Mashraki
then within that collection, sub-collections for each project: (for example) Ketubah Project
Site Reviews
Exodus Article
Tattoos Hebrew
and within these collection files all of the relevant article DOCs.

This way it will be easier to find you and your work when needed.

Apart from this there are two other things that could make Bangari DOCs easier to navigate:

**Mark all of your collections and article with a tick - EXCEPT your primary name collection.
then go to "Action" or on the new DOCs "More" and select "Don't show in Home".
This way when we have hundreds of writers with thousands of articles, the home page of Bangari DOCs will just have a list of writer's names.

**Another way of making it all a little easier to read is if you select a color to mark all your content on DOCs. You can look at mine and see that I've made my icon orange. You do this by ticking the box next to your DOCs and then going to "Action" or "More" and selection "change color", then choose your color.

Of course this is only a suggestion and only if you have enough time, but in the future when Bangari is banging we'll need everything organized, easy to navigate and colorful!

A suggestion about cleaning house in the Google docs

Hi Kevin,

I don't know if you and the rest of the team find the Google Docs to be a crowded mess. It's hard to find anything there anymore.  As you know I will be making word documents and uploading them to Billy through the desk top interoffice software, so once those are uploaded and I have the back up copy, why couldn't we possibly delete them from the docs or put them in a file of completed docs.. I'm thinking of cleaning house so we can see what is there.  Right now, we can hardly see the forest for the trees.

This was suggested to me by Carol Roach.  I wasn't sure how you would feel about it, but I think it could possibly be worked out somehow to 'clean house' a little bit.  For instance, take the catheter project we did .. those are bought and paid for... those articles are just taking up space in the docs... After we get paid for these articles on Billy's project, they could also be filed away somewhere and taken off the docs.  I feel that the docs should be for works in progress, and not for just cluttering up with useless articles.

Kevin, please tell me what you think.. and I invite everyone else to talk about this... any suggestions would be welcomed... :)

This is only an idea.... so let's hear what everyone thinks.
