There is still a lot of work to do. The areas in which we are behind and that are needed for a good launch are the distribution portal (Portal:Distribution) and concept (do we want a portal for each release?), the project portal (Portal:Project) and the application pages (no consistant layout).
Thanks, Tom, for this information. What I am wondering is who is supposed to do these missing peaces? And what is the exit criteria, ie. do we launch in any case, even if these parts are still missing in two weeks?
We will finish as much as we can before the launch.
We talked about that a bit in the project meeting yesterday. People asked why there isn't a public call for help.I understand that it is important that people who want to help with the migration understand the new concepts to make the new wiki a success. OTOH I see that for many of the still missing parts we need the experts who formerly maintained the pages, and these aren't probably able to catch up with the new wiki concepts in the remaining time.
You misunderstand the intention of the launch. A wiki is not something that you finish. It's a living document. You add, re-organize, update and remove stuff all the time. So the launch is not about having a 100% finished wiki. It's about having as close to 100% structure as we can. That is the only "feature" the new wiki brings: structure. The topics on Help:TODO are the big topics we have in the wiki and that we have to fit into the structure so that the topic experts don't have to worry about this part. That's why we focus our efforts on teaching specific people the structure instead of a general call for help. We need wiki experts and not random people that edit random pages. Those we will get automatically after the launch. So to speak the launch is out general call for help.
1. We make the info about the new wiki concepts easier consumeable, ie. with the help of a screencast
