A wiki is great to elaborate collaboratively new content, but is pretty bad to trigger people, discuss, generate reaction. Mailing-list, social networks or blogs are better for that purpose. We should find a smart then way to use them and integrate them with our wiki. A few remarks to increase activity on our wiki: * "recent change" atom/rss feed is for now the *only* solution to be triggered about what happen on the wiki... we should IMO try to understand what goes wrong with my and (I guess) other aggregators (maybe I do something wrong...)? * This RSS/ATOM feed should be clearly advertised on the welcome page (I will do that if nobody is against) * The option to add a page a user has modified to the watch list AND the option to send an email if an article of the watch list is modified should be per default activated * New members should be automatically registered (eventually propose an opt-out checkbox) to this wiki and this should be explained to the user. * I'm sceptical about any news system which is based on a pull principle. Good usage and integration of microblog, blog, mailing list and Mediawiki should be pushed. * We should invite members, as often as possible, to share with us on this or this topic, on the wiki. * Translate extension (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Language_Extension_Bundle) should be installed, this will be really easier to work on translations on the wiki * A lot easier to say than to do... more gardening for a fancier wiki (I know this need lot of work... a work that everybody from us can do). > * Interview with the WIR: The interview was held in August and you'll > find it on our Website in english-> Activties -> Wikipedia in Residence > in Swiss Federal Archives or in german -> Aktivitäten -> Wikipedian in > Residence in Bundesarchiv. > We also did a short update about KIWIX > <https://www.wikimedia.ch/de/%5Bi18n-termpath-raw%5D/kiwix-wikipedia-offline> > in > Jail here ;-) Sorry, I did not have found that... But this is a sign that this is maybe a too complicated path. New articles, like this interesting interview, should be more advertised and available from the front page of our web site. I guess that this is an obvious remark and that everybody more or less agree that the website should be rethought... hopefully next year :) Emmanuel -- Volunteer Technology, GLAM, Trainings Zurich +41 797 670 398 _______________________________________________ http://wikimedia.ch Wikimedia CH website Wikimediach-l mailing list https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediach-l
