Dear All,<br>
<br>
I've copied below the draft Wiki migration requirements and
considerations. For the meeting later today: in using the current
wiki, do you perceive the need for more features (first list of
items)?<br>
<br>
----<br>
Requirements:<br>
- anyone can edit<br>
- to prevent hacks, with a password <br>
- least effort in migration. It currently uses PMWiki, so a ‘copy’
would be fastest (note: PMWiki does not offer user management, i.e.,
anon edits only, and is not a semantic wiki).<br>
- adding pictures or files within the same wiki-world would be
useful<br>
- there has been mention of the possibility of adding comments,
alike a forum capability. PMWiki does not offer this features<br>
- some branding with the url, i.e., not in a ‘corner’ of the Web<br>
- display IAOA logo (or our own)<br>
- A bibliography feature?<br>
- perhaps with user names rather than anonymous as it is now?<br>
- any other requirements or wishes?<br>
<br>
Regarding alternatives:<br>
<br>
If other wiki software, in case the other features are now deemed
needed and those wikis have them: <br>
- downside is that then need to manually recreate contents
(copy-paste, edit for syntax). <br>
<br>
If Semantic wiki: in theory good, but note<br>
- who has experience in practice to actually get the semantics in? <br>
- what sort of queries/dynamic content would be ‘interesting’ for a
visitor? If hardly any, than what’s the point? If so: please provide
examples of possible good use of semantic wiki features.<br>
- pro: walking the walk…<br>
<br>
If blogging software, such as migrating to wordpress: <br>
- more cumbersome to edit than a wiki <br>
- more cumbersome to create user logins, so increases the hurdle for
people to contribute <br>
- WP at least isn’t good for managing (very) many pages (but we’ll
have a lot if each term gets its own page)<br>
- need to manually recreate contents (copy-paste, edit for syntax
and layout) <br>
- pro: may be easier to integrate with the iaoa website?<br>

Unfortunately, the last meeting minutes have not yet been
circulated, but I plan to do so a bit later. If you cannot make it
to the meeting tomorrow, I'd be grateful if you could let us know.
Again, I'm very sorry for the short notice.

Please find a preliminary agenda proposal below and suggest
further items that you would like to discuss or let me know if
certain items cannot be dealt with yet. I can only send
pre-meeting material later, if at all, I'm sorry.
