Policies

Create documented process for requesting sysop priv, for now model on OLPC:Administrators

Administrative privs are generally granted based on a need to use them to do "something good" for the wiki. At present, this is accomplished in a fairly informal manner, leaving a message on the discussion page or contacting one or more bureaucrats via wiki-mail would be a good place to start.

Wiki Infrastructure

add svg upload support
Wiki-barnraising, harmonization of familiar and useful templates, plug-ins, extensions (e.g. traclink,etc.) from OLPC wiki.
InterWiki Map, at least to OLPC Wiki. Laptop: --> http://wiki.laptop.org/go/$1
It would be good to get some countervandalism software (bot) running. User:Cjl has done some analysis of the vandalism (and countervandalism) actions on wiki.l.o and is interested in coordinating an effort that would cover both wikis with some automated countervandalism tools

Synchronize plug ins and templates

Trac related
Iframe
Semantic MediaWiki

Other Community Wikis

Example of how other communities are using their Wikis.
