1. Clients
   Summary: Our brochure site.
   Landings:
   • SpaceShare.com homepage
   • perhaps soon, a weddings page, festival focused-page, conference page.
   • spaceshare.com/green (greening guides) ... note that this makes sense both here and in community sections?
   • spaceshare.com/greensponsors or somesuch
   
   Users:
   • Perusers: Usually no account.
   • Actual Clients: Perhaps actual users will have an account, in a quiet corner of this site, to converse with me. It should be hidden, not something users would run into. For example, each client may have a "how to notify your users" page, like http://www.spaceshare.com/greenfestival/announce.cgi
   • Potential Clients: How does CMS work? Can people that I sent two semi-solicited emails to (meaning they are the official contact for an event and have posted an email for that, and I am sending an email about that event) unsubscribe?
   • Potential and Actual green-sponsors. Would like to
   
   
2. Community
   Summary: Folks with a general interest in green travel, and whoever else we can start bringing within our orbit. More towards web 2.0 instead of brochure, though some brochure/recruitment/fundraising as well.
   Landings:
   • SpaceShare.com -< Traveler's section. At what point do people feel like they have left the main site for clients, and are in a traveler's zone? Immediately, as they look for their event? Or is there a traveler's section on the no-sign-in homepage, then any end-user/traveler is immediately taken to our community site?
     • spaceshare.com/upcoming
     • spaceshare.com/green (greening guides)
     • spaceshare.com/greeneconomy (our fundraising page)
     • spaceshare.com/community (our discussions page, people who sign in can start chatting.)
       • chat: green festivals
       • chat: green transportation from airports
       • chat: planning my green wedding
       • business cooperation circle
   • actual sites: spaceshare.com/amta and a hundred other actual sites. These should have the option to easily become a permanent member or easily not.
   • allies: websites built for specific causes a little off-topic, slightly harder to find by our nav, more of a landing page.
     • Berkeley Environmental Alumni Association forum.
     • Seattle green-bridge discussion group.
   
   Users:
   • Users of our carpool systems. Note that an individual carpool system will have a different navigation block altogether than any other site, with functions like "post an ad" and "search" rather than the existing nav. It will have a few overlapping buttons, possibly even opening in a new window, such as green travel tips (www.spaceshare.com/green's landing page for individuals). Users will have the option to create a permanent account and receive monthly emails, or request volunteer status and start receiving weekly updates. Users will be able to create a permanent bio (so can perusers and allies) that can be seen whenever they create a SpaceShare post, with info about their life, MySpace account, etc (and then a temporary little post about their immediate carpooling needs for a particular event.)
   • Perusers - People googling and linking their way to our site.
   • Allies sending people to specific landings within the site, like BEAN using one of our forums.
   *Note: It would be good to have a better Forum than we have now, in particular one able to have a feeling like you're at the top of the Forum at a variety of landing points. This is the BEAN Forum, and you could go up, but by default you're here... and the only way to get to BEAN's Forum might be via the Site Map that few people look at, or via BEAN. (Currently, I've been making those separate Drupal installations... but getting a single-sign-on seems a better, faster option.)
   
   
3. Intranet
   Summary: A largely internal site. Additional features such as the "committments" module, people signed up for this typically get weekly volunteer emails. Much but not all of the current community site is our intranet, but some pieces of this forum are for the larger chatting-community intead of just volunteers.
   Landings:
   • Not sure exactly how the landings will work. It may be that only users who have signed up requesting volunteer status can see the links? Note that the "trails" may not exactly match the "Drupal subsections." The intranet forum will not include pages like www.spaceshare.com/intern --> I will write that page, so it either goes on the home section (same design as for clients) or perhaps more likely the Travelers/Users section.
   
   Users:
   • Only people who have signed in can see much, ideally. Another option would be to create a new node type, just like a page, but with more private permissions. It would be fine to have the volunteer philosophy visible, though we could put that into a "get involved" section of the community.spaceshare.com site as well as the intranet.spaceshare.com

We'll want a single-sign-on across all the categories, with people defining which category they are in. Each category or subcategory will have newsletter/mass-email options (or perhaps that's all we mean). I'd like the newsletter options to be heavily-pushed... when you sign up, you are asked if how you want to hear from SpaceShare.

1. Event planner
   • festival
   • conference
   • wedding
   • reunion
   • other (list will grow)
2. Green Sponsor
3. Site-User and generally interested people (Travelers/Community), along with special users from allied groups.
4. Volunteers, perhaps given greater intranet access, maybe even layered.

Crosslinking and Navigation

I'm not sure exactly how this will all be layed out. It may be that any page I write is "Brochure Design", while the Forums have a different look, so then many people on community.spaceshare.com would be linking back to www.spaceshare.com to see things like the volunteer wish list. intranet.spaceshare.com might instead just be special permissions on community.spaceshare.com ... but there may be whole modules that are different (like the committments module.)
