[iaoa-education] IAOA Education Committee Meeting n.27 on Tue, Mar 06, 2018: announcement

Tue Mar 6 15:01:09 CET 2018

Dear All,

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)?

----
Requirements:
- anyone can edit
- to prevent hacks, with a password
- 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).
- adding pictures or files within the same wiki-world would be useful
- there has been mention of the possibility of adding comments, alike a 
forum capability. PMWiki does not offer this features
- some branding with the url, i.e., not in a ‘corner’ of the Web
- display IAOA logo (or our own)
- A bibliography feature?
- perhaps with user names rather than anonymous as it is now?
- any other requirements or wishes?

Regarding alternatives:

If other wiki software, in case the other features are now deemed needed 
and those wikis have them:
- downside is that then need to manually recreate  contents (copy-paste, 
edit for syntax).

If Semantic wiki: in theory good, but note
- who has experience in practice to actually get the semantics in?
- 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.
- pro: walking the walk…

If blogging software, such as migrating to wordpress:
- more cumbersome to edit than a wiki
- more cumbersome to create user logins, so increases the hurdle for 
people to contribute
- WP at least isn’t good for managing (very) many pages (but we’ll have 
a lot if each term gets its own page)
- need to manually recreate  contents (copy-paste, edit for syntax and 
layout)
- pro: may be easier to integrate with the iaoa website?

Regards,
Maria
