The agenda is one of the most edited parts of WikiMaas. Actually, it is not even an agenda. It is the blog plug-in from our wiki-engine [[:Category: | The agenda is one of the most edited parts of WikiMaas. Actually, it is not even an agenda. It is the blog plug-in from our wiki-engine [[:Category:Oddmuse|Oddmuse]]. We made a minor hack in the code, so that the blog command would not insert the most recent posts, but instead the first posts in the future. We have put the blog entry form open to anyone to post future events, and the first ten are displayed in a sidebar on our front page. Viewers can click on them to read the complete description. Via a link on the front page, users can also reach a calendar to view all other agenda items. | ||
We believe that this agenda function is one of the main contributors to the (relative) success of WikiMaas. Most wiki pages are only interesting the first time you read them, especially when you have a small community and pages don't change much. The agenda provides a more dynamic piece of content; something that readers come back for every week. Especially since WikiMaas is mainly written from an alternative, leftist, activist, (and can we use the word 'underground'?) perspective, the agenda is an addition to the regular city agendas. We have the parties in the squats and the political demonstrations that are not featured in the regular media. The city's weekly printed agenda even once recommended WikiMaas in their 'featured' section. | We believe that this agenda function is one of the main contributors to the (relative) success of WikiMaas.
