Dear DSpace Community, After many community discussions and some limited testing, the DuraSpace organization would like to propose migrating the DSpace wiki, currently based on MediaWiki to a Confluence wiki. The migration would provide more wiki functionality to the DSpace community, including: * Ability to edit using a basic Word-like interface (WYSIWYG interface) * Ability to export pages to Word/PDF * Capable of supporting the DSpace manual natively to ease editing and contributing * Support for simple diagrams * Better integration into existing DuraSpace.org infrastructure
In addition, moving the DSpace wiki to Confluence would also mean that both the DSpace and the Fedora communities would use the same wiki platform, allowing for more easily shared information infrastructure. We are currently looking for repository administrators/managers or other interested volunteers to help us clean up, reorganize and test migrated wiki content. Other tasks may include helping us redesign and restructure the new wiki space. Your help will ensure the DSpace Wiki receives a much needed facelift! The project is likely to begin in the next few weeks (exact date forthcoming) and last a month. We estimate the project to take a few hours a week. Please contact me if you are interested in helping out with the wiki migration project.
