Wiki week

kshegunov

Something occurred to me, maybe it's not a bad idea to have a sticky post at the top of the each of the major forums actually pointing to the corresponding wiki pages?

I'd also say that it's pretty safe bet the language-specific pages aren't much used, especially seeing that the localized forums are almost dead. So I think it's not worth investing time to bring them up to date, this way more effort could be put into the English wiki and subsequently better results.

My overworked schedule bows deeply to @Wieland !
I've been meaning to put this together, but it always slips on the priority list.

When do you want to have it? I can put together the call blog post and help otherwise.

@JKSH needs to be in on this too, he has been doing a lot of work on the wiki. Plus he has a bot to make more automated cleanups.

@tekojo My personal preferences would be the weeks starting 2016-03-21 or 2016-03-28 but I'm flexible if others have other preferences.

@Wieland, I never did thank you properly for the work you did last year... Thanks for making the wiki look so much better!

I should be available during those dates.

Yup, the bot can do mass conversions/moves. Here's its portfolio: https://wiki.qt.io/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/AutoSpider&limit=250

Will it have a wish list of content for people to propose for changes?

tekojo

@benlau
Certainly, need to create a page on the wiki for that, or revive last years page :)
All help and ideas welcome!

"Wiki Week coming up in two weeks!" See this blog post by @tekojo :-)

Should we have a small agenda somewhere with the goals or tasks of the week ? So we don't have several persons working on the same document at the same time

@SGaist I could create a wiki page for that. It would also be nice to have a small announcement on the main page. (I don't have write access to the main page anymore?!)

SGaist

I don't have it either, seems it has been protected.

JKSH

The Main page was protected recently after a flood of spam.

I've re-enabled write access for all users, but move access is still restricted to admins.

@JKSH Thank you!

tekojo

Thanks @JKSH !

And yes, feel free to create a task list and post it on the main page :)

It looks to me that the spam measures on the wiki seem to have worked, @JKSH has only removed one piece in the last week, and I had one false alarm. Hopefully it's better now.

Hi everyone!
The page for coordination can be found here. And we now have an announcement on the main page.
Cheers! :-)

SGaist

Great ! Thanks :)
