User:Matt/Things to do

Please update or add to this list!

Matt

• Upload Templates we need
• the home page needs content and style
• Basic help and sample case for SMW
• AAPG Wiki:Wiki manager
• AAPG Wiki:Scope and strategy for wiki development, based on meeting with execs
• AAPG Wiki:People — team, roles, stakeholders
• AAPG Wiki:Converting content — what is automatable?
• AAPG Wiki:Project timeline — future considerations, possible future content, events, etc.
• My list of Things to fix or change

Mark

• Semantic MediaWiki Bundle installation
• Map domain for nicer URL
• MediaWiki:Common.css
• Make Special:Interwiki look more like this one
• $wgLogo and favicon
• Link colours: lighter green seems more like 'unclicked link' and perhaps darker shade of same colour for 'visited link' ; green is quite pale, perhaps teal would be better colour — more like logo; should also change external link icon SVG to green/teal (Matt can do that)
• Enable the sending of email in the wiki — may require PHP software, and changes to LocalSettings.php and/or UserMailer.php (can't remember if you did this already)
• Prevent anon editing by adding this to LocalSettings.php:

  $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;

• Figure out how to keep up to date with git
• Figure out the dev/prod architecture that's easiest to maintain
• Figure out how we're going to create users and log people in
• Learn a bit about editing — Training could be a good place to start
• If we tweak or build a skin, learn how to skin
• If we get really ambitious, become a MediaWiki hacker
• Template migration (Matt is building a list of templates)
• Help Matt figure out best workflow for content conversion

Extensions to consider adding

• Contributors — to show top contributors to a page, possibly with Contribution Credits
• Collection — Export PDFs and create books.

Things AAPG has decided on

• License: CC-BY or CC-BY-SA
• Who can read: * (everyone in world)
• Who can edit: user (registered users)
• Who can register: * (everyone in world) — but we will add a layer of 'approval' to fight spammers, or at least use $wgAutoConfirmAge

Things AAPG needs to decide on

• Logo and look & feel: tweaked Vector (SEG's choice), tweaked third-party (SPE), or custom
• Name... cf SPE's PetroWiki, SEG's SEG Wiki, etc. GeoWiki? AAPGWiki? Wiki's name is currently AAPG Wiki
• Various policy documents (see list below)
• How will we recruit moderators/editors?
• Marketing and communications approach, and interface with other web properties
