Notes about the Expressionengine wiki
See here for more information.
- What type of wiki? mediawiki twiki etc.
- What image file formats are supported?
- Who is the main administrator of the wiki? Who will make configuration changes upon request?
- Search: is it possible to replace the default search with Google or another external search engine?
- Wiki users: Adminstrators Moderate Article
- for the wikipedia part this should be the default for any new page that is being created. Is that possible?
- If a user does several edit save cycles within a session, will the editor get one aggregate (i.e. Page x has changed) or one email for every save? Will the user be able to see the results of their save, when they continue editing?
- Wiki Theme Template
- the graphical design company should customize the default, so that the theme ties in nicely with the new website theme. The default sidebar needs to be customized to fit the specifics of this wiki.
- Name spaces, Categories: Need to be set up ahead of time. Articles, Glossary, Events, MRCenters are examples of such name spaces or cateories based on conversations.

Tcon 08-28-2009
Attending: David, David, Ron
- Ron should have a tcon next week with Roberta and Sally to discuss the technical issues around the creation of a wiki server and the software to be used. It would probably be sensible to ask Peter Seres to participate in that as well.
- Ron would use this information to develop with the Central Office an action plan for the development and implementation of an MR wikipedia - including some of the options (and an idea of related resource and costs) he suggested for future expansion - a publication database and more complex media display - - based on his experience with his slicer development (Ron will send some links on this)./
- The issues of governance probably to be addressed by an editorial board - engaging members with responsibility for particular areas - this could be put together with help from the publications cttee - and also by direct invitation to the membership themselves. Controversy is to be expected, anticipated and planned for.
- There is a good case for making the wiki open to the public early on - and Ron will make these points in the Action Plan as the Board and Exec will no doubt want to understand these issues before applying the brand name.
- The action plan could be circulated past the web services committee in the next few weeks for comments and suggestions and then we could hopefully start to implement something.
