Summary

 * 1. mission statement
 * No additions to existing 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.


 * 9. Grand opening
 * Next sunday: 23.10.2011
 * We need an announcement.
 * Categories and help pages are need to be done.
