Proposals
- Discuss vision for Quarter 2 2009 and beyond.
- Install mediawikiwiki:Extension:ImageMap for easier, more comprehensive image clicking support (http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/580)
- Investigate and install a collapsible section extension. At a minimum, wikitable
{| class="collapsible prettytable"(metawikipedia:Help:Collapsing) or wikipedia:Wikipedia:NavFrame, to allow long sections to be collapsed without losing the local page context. (http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/612) - 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)
- Wouldn't it be easier to maintain the ToDo lists and Release tables in a Google spreadsheet? The parser extension tag, <gspread>, is used to embed Google spreadsheets like this example: olpc:User_talk:FGrose/sandbox, or this, olpc:Health_Sciences_Online#Links_to_content The sheets are hosted by Google and collaboration rights would be controlled by their mechanisms. Sure would add a lot of capability and usability.
- Added dev.sugarlabs.org #700 to install the extension dfarning 20:48, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- Follow up on marking pages on w.lt.o as migrated.
- See open bugs for the remaining open bugs.
- Make http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Events More useful at communicating what is happening in the community.
- 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 .
- Clean up the process of planning, holding, and documenting team meeting on the wiki.
- Install an extension such as SubPageList3 so that some pages can have lists of of pages in wiki.sugarlabs.org's hierarchical structure. See example
- Consider embedding Nabble's Sugar Forum to provide a mailing list forum environment on the wiki.
- Move Google translation bar to the bottom of the page.
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.
