Summary

1. mission statement


2. Relationship to gentoo-wiki.com
  • We need an official wiki, because most developers will not commit to g-w.com. As g-w.com will not move, we have to do our own thing. This means duplicated effort.
  • Copy & Paste is not allowed, because of incompatible licenses.


3. Spam protection
  • No change. Existing spam protection are user registration and captchas on commit.
  • An email address is not required. That'd create quite an obstacle for very privacy-aware people.


4. Navigation
  • No agreement about project/herd portals. Too much work, no big benefits.
  • Agreed top-level categories:
    • core system
    • software
    • hardware
    • desktop
    • server and security
    • project and community


5. Internationalization
  • translate extension
    • Pro: quality control
    • Contra: Only english original contributions are possible.
    • Most participants are in favor over the extension.
    • There are strong opponents


6. Help pages
  • We will import the public domain MediaWiki User's guide.


7. Who can edit?
  • Everyone should be able to edit.
  • Exceptions are important pages:
    • main page
    • widely-used templates
    • pages having edit wars


8. Quality control
  • Flagged Revisions extension
    • Pro: Users see only the reviewed informations.
    • Contra: We need editors doing the review in time.
    • Contra: Authors might becomes frustrated.
    • Decision: Too early, maybe later.
