Continuing goals
(unending)
- Monitor Sugar Labs community communications to learn of potential wiki content or service improvements.
- Monitor Sugar Labs' and collaborators' wikis contents for potential improvements.
- Address #tickets.
Near-term goals
(3-6 months)
- Monitor OpenQwaq service development for potential collaboration with wiki services.
- Monitor mediawikiwiki:Extension:WikiEditor for sufficient maturation for our use.
- Monitor www.sugarlabs.org website plans for integration with this wiki.
Medium-term goals
(6-12 months)
- Investigate inter-wiki searching options that would allow for joint searching of Sugar Labs and collaborator wikis.
- Seek collaboration on better separation and joining of information between collaborator wikis, i.e.,
- Human Interface Guidelines and OLPC Human Interface Guidelines, where versions are diverging.
Long-term goals
(1-3+ years)
- Seek more ways to automatically embed integrative links on mailing list posts, patchwork, gitorious, bugs, doc, translate, etc. products so Learners can easily navigate to the source.
Constraints
- What does the team see as its constraints from being more successful in its Mission?
- Participation
- Technological complexity
- Complexity of organizing information
- What are we doing to try to resolve the constraint?
- Maintain quality of information and service.
- Watch for prime wiki applications where thresholds are low and ceilings high.
- What can Sugar Labs 'central' or the community do to help?
- Promote greater documentation and interlinking of information.
- Attract more participants by public discussion.
Proposals
Tickets entered, pending completion
- Update Widget:Google Spreadsheet
- Reopened #700 to update the extension.
Highlights
- Installed mediawikiwiki:Extension:ImageMap for easier, more comprehensive image clicking support (http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/580)
- A good use case Marketing Team/Project Visualization
Test wikis
- Set up http://wiki-devel.sugarlabs.org for testing (Installed on Sunjammer at /srv/www-sugarlabs/wiki-devel/)
- Reconfigure http://vip.laptop.org/wiki for testing (See http://vig.laptop.org/wiki/index.php/Wikidevel.)
- Test interwiki transclusion for economy of shared page maintenance. See Template:Transclude.
- Test new skin designs. See /Wiki skin redesign.
wiki.laptop.org
- Follow up on marking pages on w.lt.o as migrated.
- See open bugs for the remaining open bugs.
Usability
- Install mediawikiwiki:Extension:NewArticleTemplates for easier new page editing support for new and experienced users. (Lower floor and raise ceiling.)
- include separate subpage template
- investigate to determine if the Mediawiki:NewArticleTemplate could include a template parameter that would default to Mediawiki:NewArticleTemplateDefault, but allow an arbitrary NS_MAIN page to be called for customization.
- If you want a button to "create a new page", you can use Extension:Inputbox See example at olpc::Testing_meetings. -- Skierpage 17:16, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Make http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Events More useful at communicating what is happening in the community.
- Clean up the process of planning, holding, and documenting team meeting on the wiki.
- Consider embedding Nabble's Sugar Forum to provide a mailing list forum environment on the wiki.
- Correct broken links at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=Special:WantedPages&limit=500&offset=0
- Update the wiki translation infrastructure. There have been alot of advances in mediawiki translations since OLPC developed the wiki translation mechanism we currently use. A good source of advice and information may be http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Main_Page .
- WYSIWYG editor
Potential
If and when wiki.sugarlabs.org has a lot of information that can be displayed, queried, and summarized in multiple places, the olpc:Semantic MediaWiki extension is the way to represent it. As of March 2009 it's unclear if there is a compelling use case for it.
