[opensuse-wiki] Wiki Forum
Team, JFYI, I'll get started with a discussion about the creation of a Wiki Forum as part of our QA process (proof-reading) with the Forums Team over at forums.o.o (I have access to the private team area). Besides the proof-reading aspect I feel this appropriate as a discussion platform for the Wiki Team with the openSUSE Community (getting feedback, providing guidance, ..., collaboration from a long term perspective, i.e. transforming valuable Forums content into tutorial-style articles for the Wiki and so on and so forth). As we move forward with the implementation of our Usability Concept, I feel this as the right time to kick this off - that way we'll have the Wiki Forum available as soon as we need it. Any complaints? Please provide input you may have.

The benefit? The Wiki-Forum will be an integral part of our QA process. New articles (Draft revisions) will be presented there for reviewing/proof-reading/feedback purposes. Furthermore the Wiki Forum will provide the opportunity to the community to get in touch with the Wiki Team (we get community feedback, we may provide Wiki assistance to interested parties/new editors, etc.). Forums.o.o? Obviously the Wiki Forum will be part of the official openSUSE forums: I proposed to create a Forum "Wiki" as a category in "Community" to the Forums team yestaerday. Other than that and from a long term perspective I hope that the Wiki Forum will strengthen he collaboartion between the Forums Community and the Wiki Team. There is a lot valuable content at forums.o.o and if we achieve to bring these Communities together we may get more content from forums.o.o transferred into the wiki as tutorial-style articles.

I'm for that possibility. Creating an Subforum on forums.o.o. sounds good...

Team, as a follow-up ... the discussion about the creation of the Wiki Forum at forums.o.o as an integral part of our QA process in combination with FlaggedRevs is almost done. The Forums Team expressed great support for our QA strategy and we should have the Wiki Forum in place as soon as we notify the Forums Team to press the "Go Live Button" :-) One thing I'd like to ask: Is anyone (Wiki Team Member) willing to volunteer as a Local Moderator for this Forum at forums.o.o? I.e. we need to nominate at least one Wiki Moderator that commits being a Forums Moderator for this particular forum - if several Wiki Seniors would be willing to step up ... that'd be even better than just one.

Well, the usual business of a Forums Moderator. Moderate Discussions when needed. Assure sufficient behaviour of Forums' participants conform with the T&C and react on violation of those. Merge threads and delete spam and so on and so forth. This certainly just applies to the Wiki Forum, not to the Forums as a whole. Best, R
Thanks, R

not complaints, just questions? -would the 'Wiki Forum' be closed...that is, open only to the 'Wiki Team'? -or, will wiki changes be open to all (i have made changes and improvements before, it seems that anyone who can log into the communities help fora can make changes...even those who only open an account to drive by spam..)? -which ever (open or closed), will it be available via both http and nntp?

-would the 'Wiki Forum' be closed...that is, open only to the 'Wiki Team'?
obviously not. The Wiki Forum will be an integral part of our QA process, an opportunity to get in touch and a chance for smoother collaboration (please see my answer to Shayon for more details). An additional Subforum for the Team-only may be valuable (this is the decision of the team - if they'd like to move discussions off the mailing list and use the forums instead, we can certainly think about that as well and I'd do my best to establish that)
-or, will wiki changes be open to all (i have made changes and improvements before, it seems that anyone who can log into the communities help fora can make changes...even those who only open an account to drive by spam..)?
Certainly everyone registered to forums.o.o is in general able to contribute to the Wiki using the same login - this is iChain SSO.
-which ever (open or closed), will it be available via both http and nntp?
All Forums at forums.o.o are available via NNTP as well. Best, R
