So, that's how I've tried to approach creating mobile-related pages. Personally, I think there is value in this divide - it provides a logical separation between teams and projects, which I think is a Good Thing for an open source project - people outside of the team can participate in the project, and people outside of the team probably don't really care about team-specific documentation (eg roles/responsibilities, meeting notes, etc). I understand that putting documentation in ONE place can also be enormously beneficial from the perspective of always knowing where to look; but we already won't have our documentation in one place - there's also wikitech, and some stuff on officewiki. So my preference would be to keep the divide of project-specific stuff on mediawiki, team-specific stuff on meta, ultra private stuff on office, architectural documentation on wikitech. If most of you really think centralizing *all* mobile documentation (projects, team, etc) in one place is a good idea, can someone try and convince me? -- Arthur Richards Software Engineer, Mobile [[User:Awjrichards]] IRC: awjr +1-415-839-6885 x6687
