New subject: [opensuse-wiki] Wiki Transition : Forums

19 Nov 2009

      Team,

as a follow-up to the thread "ATTENTION: please keep organization in
mind" I posted one week ago to the list, I'd like to summarize what we
have and what we need to do next.

1. Rajko did in awesome job with the evaluation of FlaggedRevs
extension and his result is promising. If there are no complaints,
we'll use this extension for our QA process in combination with the
Wiki Forum at forums.o.o I currently take care of (see 1a).
Rajko provided a showcase of FlaggedRevs at
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Extension_FlaggedRevs
General information is at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs

1a. I myself discussed the creation of the Wiki Forum (see 1) at
forums.o.o with the Forums Team and it now should be just a matter of
bureaucracy it get it live - I got great support from the Forums Team
here. The current request is to press the button once we need the Wiki
Forum in place.

2. Rajko, Shayon and Remy already made good progress with the
wiki-templates. The result is available at
http://en.opensuse.org/Template and
http://en.opensuse.org/Daily_templates. We still need to think about
an article-template to ensure a consistent look&feel of Tutorial
pages.

3. As soon as possible I'll get started with the creation of the
Guidelines. I'd appreciate any helping hand interested in contributing
here. We need to explain the proper Wiki Usage, the creation of
articles from a design, formulation, conception and syntax
perspective. The Templates need to be linked and the QA Process
(FlaggedRevs in combination with the Wiki Forum) need to be explained
in detail. I'll definitely need input from Wiki Seniors to explain the
one or the other aspect.

4. If there are no complaints, we'll go for Henne's 3rd approach to
start with a new instance from scratch, move just the content we want
while taking care of a consistent look&feel, the conformity of
Tutorials with the principles defined in the Guidelines and the
Content Structure Henne proposed earlier (i.e. a variant of that). For
your reference, here it is once again:

Main
   -> Portal:11.2
       -> /Features
       -> /Screenshots
         -> /Screenshots/KDE
         -> /Screenshots/UserDesktops
       -> /Press
       -> /SDB
         -> SDB:ASUS_WL-160N_USB_Wireless_Adapter
       -> keep older versions in $VERSION namespace e.g. 11.1:Features
          and 1.11:Screenshots/GNOME

   -> Portal:Project
       -> Project:Guiding Principles
       -> Project:Teams
         -> Project:Teams/Boosters_Team
            -> Project:Teams/Boosters_Team/Tasks
         -> Project:Teams/GNOME
            -> Project:Teams/GNOME/Submitting_Bugs
       -> Project:Communication
         -> Project:Communication/Mailinglists
           -> Project:Communication/Mailinglists/Etiquette
         -> Project:Communication/Forums
         -> Project:Communication/IRC
         -> Project:Communication/Meetings
           -> Project:Communication/Meetings/Archive
       -> Project:Tools
         -> Project:Tools/Build Service
            -> Project:Tools/Build_Service/Concepts

   -> Portal:Wiki
       -> Meta::Structure
         -> Meta:Structure/Templates
         -> Meta:Structure/Namespaces
       -> Meta:Styleguide

Remaining task here is to come up with transition guidelines.
Petr/Henne? Shoud we do this in collaboration?

5. Frank needs input about
http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team/Requested_Extensions in order to get
started with the fresh instance - we certainly need FlaggedRevs as our
QA flagship but please provide input about the rest in order to
support Frank.

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.

So far the organizational things...

That said, I'd like to schedule the next Meeting to get everyone
involved on IRC to be able to discuss the Transition and steps we need
to take care of in a real time conversation. In contrast to our last
Meeting I'd appreciate very much to have all Wiki Seniors attending
along with the Boosters, Henne and Frank. Thus I won't schedule until
I got input about availability of all parties - please tell me what
time during the week is most appropriate for you. I myself prefer to
schedule on CET evening to assure a sufficient time for american and
indian participants (Shayon) while still have a sufficient time for
european participants in place. Please, let's approximately target end
of next week OR beginning of the week after next week. Thanks in
advance for your support - I try to come up with a date/time that's
appreciated by all parties.

Best,
R
