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.
