Possible Scenarios for future Wiki use on *.kde.org

wiki.kde.org with namespaces

• Pros
  • Easy to maintain

• Cons
  • Might grow very big
  • Requires namespaces
  • No obvious structure
  • No homogenous target audience

Unattractive for subprojects

n /wiki per site

• Pros
  • Very flexible for projects

• Cons
  • Sharing templates impossible
  • Sharing files quite hard
  • Interwiki-Links are of limited use
  • n databases

n role-based wiki sites

Possible compromise between the two suggestions above.

• Pros
  • Less wiki instances than one per site

• Cons
  • Sharing templates impossible
  • Sharing files quite hard
  • Interwiki-Links are of limited use
  • n databases

Action items

• Investigate OpenID
• Investigate which target audiences we/the projects want
• Talk to subprojects
  • What solution do they prefer?
  • To what extend would they go with whatever we do?
  • Whats the additional value for them to join the effort?
• How and where to migrate the contents of the current wikis?
