Introduction
This is the area of Rocketpedia used for discussion about the structure, organization and development of the wiki.
A list of Rocketpedia policies, primarily (as of Jan. 26th 2010) regarding editing and formatting, are available at Rocketpedia:Policies.
A short Rocketpedia user's guide is also (as of Jan. 26th 2010) at Rocketpedia:Policies. The policies page will be split from the guide page as the community grows and formalizes more internal rules.
The ultimate aim is to have Rocketpedia support several different projects, but at the moment the Clotho Project is the only one active. The following areas are specific to the Clotho project:
- Getting as much of the team as possible signed up and contributing.
- Deciding how to manage information flow and updates: what goes on the mailing list, what gets put here, what we may need other tools for (e.g. a calendaring plugin, Confluence, blogging, etc.).
Privacy
Significant concerns were aired at the Jan. 19th meeting about the conflict between needing to keep some development information private and being able to use the wiki as a collaborative development tool. We should discuss this, and the available options for access control on the wiki, as soon as possible. Please keep this space for information (e.g. listing the options we've found with their pros and cons), and put your opinions and comments on the discussion page.
- There's a primer on what the MediaWiki software can and can't do at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access.
Organization
Organizing communication
Before the page count grows significantly, the community should reach consensus on how inter-page discussions are going to be handled. Options include:
- each team has an open page for tracking who is doing what and questions that currently need to be answered
- one page for each project doing the same
- using the discussion pages for each main subsystem page
See the section on the discussion page to leave a comment.
Sidebar
Right now the sidebar (on the right side of the page) is getting very cluttered. It is most helpful if the search box is less than one scroll width away. See the section on the discussion page to voice your opinion.
Copyright
The Rocketpedia:Copyrights page currently does not exist. A policy should be established and written up.
