Proposals

Discuss vision for Quarter 2 2009 and beyond.

Tickets entered, pending completion

Install mediawikiwiki:Extension:ImageMap for easier, more comprehensive image clicking support (http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/580)
A good use case Marketing Team/Project Visualization

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.

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.)
1. include separate subpage template
2. 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 .

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.
