Notes from session (raw)
From User:Ianweller/FUDConF11 State of the Wiki presentation.
Conversion from MoinMoin caused even bigger problems in the content, but one worth solving.
Instead of Some/Nested/Page/Name, use Special:Categories.
Categories can contain sub-cats, pages, media (with auto gallery creation).
We are reorg'ing content so all page names are flat.
Page names are natural language.
Every page has a category, and probably a sub-category.
Trees of categories.
Search needs to get rid of CamelCase.
Page naming automatically redirects to the new page.
Natural language supports L10n. Nesting structure-naming is not translation friendly, where What a nice page name is translation friendly.
For top-level categories, we want (around) three nodes.
Wikibot can use:
git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/wikirename.git
Get your sub-project included there. If you have ever pushed to fedorahosted.org, you have permissions to add or edit a PSV (pipe separted values) file there. If needed, request 'gitwikirename' in FAS.
Karsten's bit
- We currently do stuff in Fedora Hosted -- documentation in invididual projects, mostly git
- How do we want to gather content? CMS
- We need something useful to put on fp.o's front page
Brainstorming happens here -- what are the requirements of this?
- Draft -> edit -> publish
- Wiki is more informal (it's a wiki, fix it!), the more controlled area is for bug reports, etc
- Ian sucks at taking notes
