Hi,
We see,the old OpenOffice.org wiki
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page has accumulated plenty
of valuable information,including planning,function specification,technical
documents and so on..Currently,the planning and project tracking parts have
been moved to
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Wiki+Home,that means a
new start of the project.Because the two wikis are two different wiki
software systems,moreover, there are existing different writing styles
between them and writers need accounts for them respectively, it is not
convenient for writers to write wiki articles when switching between
them...So, I propose to create a new wiki for developers to record
technical documents,technical review,proposals/ideas,function specification
and design,and so on by sub-project categories, for example,we can move the
scope of teams section from the old OO wiki to the new wiki, or *extend the
scope of https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Wiki+Home to
include these areas. *Thus, in the future,the new wiki will only keep a
link to the old OO wiki which takes as the history data and continue to
accumulate new project data to benefit the project and contributors..Please
comment...thanks.
I see such new content already in the MediaWiki. In the beginning I
thought cwiki would be the right place for project content. But in
reality people use the MediaWiki. For example the new start of UX, use
of SVN, explanation to DrawingLayer changes, where written in the MediaWiki.
MediaWiki use is common and many people know to use. You can easily get
help on using it and converter exists, in contrast to Cwiki. MediaWiki
has a lot of features which make it attractive to readers and editors as
well.
Do you know, that the MediaWiki has about 11000 pages? The problem is
not that some of them are outdated. The problem of outdated content
would arise with a new, active used wiki very quickly too. The problem
is to have members, which feel responsible for an area.
There are parts in the MediaWiki which you cannot simple discontinue,
for example the Developer's Guide (linked from the SDK) and the Calc
functions reference (linked from the help).
For that reasons, I favor to use the MediaWiki as the only Wiki and drop
the use of CWiki.
Kind regards
Regina
