6. Once we have everything in place and the new instance up and running we need to get started with http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team/Checked_Pages - select what we'd like to transfer, assure consistent design and categorize it into the new structure while utilizing the templates.
We are still far from discussion about real wiki structure that is defined with our goals, needs and abilities of Mediawiki software. All I can see is going around that topic, which ultimately has to be touched. It is complex and requires a lot of work, but if ignored it will lead to the same mess we have now. I'll take 2 of Henne's comments as a base to think about the future: - wiki is collaboration tool - it is not closed medium with tight flow control - proposal of the structure - analyze of current status We have to research current flow of information, not only within wiki, but in general between projects (tight groups) and loose groups like developers, users, contributors. If we can't define/determine groups, then we are going to guess a lot and the result will be similar as it is now. After we have some flow diagram how that works (flow research volunteers?) then we can place wiki in that flow, so that we can define needs, see what methods has to be used to satisfy needs, what tools we have to add to the wiki. BTW, researching information flow can be done on current wiki. Create roles and document step by step what you did to reach a goal. Create sample pages with ideas how it should work with sample links. -- Regards, Rajko openSUSE Wiki Team: http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team People of openSUSE: http://en.opensuse.org/People_of_openSUSE/About -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
