Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Httpd Wiki" for change notification.
The "DocsCommentSystem" page has been changed by DanielGruno: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DocsCommentSystem?action=diff&rev1=6&rev2=7 Comment: Answering a few questions We have the option of eiher run a separate comment thread for each translation of each document, or run it as a unified commentary, i.e. we can run a separate comment thread for the English and the French version of mod_lua.html or we can have them both display the same comments - this has yet to be decided. === Moderating comments === - Comments will be moderated by appointed moderators. Currently, for our test run, we have Rich Bowen, Igor Galic and Daniel Gruno as moderators, but more can be added. Upon the arrival of new comments, these moderators will be notified via email that a new comment has been added, and can review it and select appropriate actions towards it. + Comments will, in general, be allowed through without pre-approval. Comments with hyperlinks in them will require approval from a moderator before they are shown on the site. The comment system itself has a built-in touring test that should get rid of most of the spam (we have yet to receive any spam). - Comments that have links in them WILL NOT be shown unless they have been approved by a moderator. This feature can be extended to include all comments, and we also have the option of requiring that people have registered with the system before they can comment. + Any Apache committer that wishes to become moderator can do so by logging onto the comment system (see the "log in" link in each comment section) using their Apache committer id and password. Since this will be managed by the LDAP service, any new committers will automatically gain this right without any previous manual work done by the sysadmins. - If anyone wants to be a moderator for the test run, do speak up. If/when this migrates to infra, the current plan is to make all Apache committers moderators and manage this through LDAP. More info will follow as it becomes available. + One or more key figures will be appointed comment administrators, and may use this role to manage/verify non-Apache people that wish to become moderators. + + Verified people or moderators will have their comments flagged with a small feather to show that their identity has been verified by Apache. + + Moderators and admins can click on the "moderate" link in a comment section to go to the moderator panel of the system, where they can review the latest activity, track specific poster origins and perform tasks such as removing all posts made from a specific poster or ban an IP/origin from posting on this site or any other that uses the comment system. Comment admins can furthermore review activity logs to see if any moderator or poster has been behaving strangely, and act accordingly. === Comments in offline documents === For security reasons, user friendliness and other browser quirkiness issues, the comments will not be available for viewing when viewing the documentation from any other place than httpd.a.o. === Comment Exports === - The comment system supports an XML export of comments (which can be found [[http://c.apaste.info/export.lua?site=httpd|here]]). We need to decide whether we want to do exports and if so, where to store the data. Primary reason for regular exports could be to save the content in case that the service is discontinued or if/when we need to move to the Infra server instead. + The comment system supports an XML export of comments (which can be found [[http://c.apaste.info/export.lua?site=httpd|here]]). At this time, there doesn't seem to be any pressing need for this, if we move to infra anyway. == Questions for further discussion == * Should translations have their own separate discussion threads, or should they show the same thread as the English version? * If this is adopted to other branches, should 2.4 and trunk (and possibly 2.2) be linked, or should each branch have a separate discussion per subject? - * Should we do regular XML exports of the discussion, and if so, where should we store it? - * Who will moderate, and how will new moderators be picked? (If this moves to infra, then all Apache committers will likely be moderators, and people can then sign up to receive notifications on a per-project basis) - * Which approach to moderating the discussions would be best? For instance, should we approve all comments before they are shown, and who should be allowed to comment? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docs-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: docs-h...@httpd.apache.org
