== | ==Proposal: 2006-01-28: Coding comments for more transparent clarity== | ||
* More transparent wiki conversation/work. We start to code our page work in the summary as much as possilbe, as to model transparent conversation on the recent changes page, for newbies, and really ourselves. I just think it will only help to do as much coding as possible :-) [[User:MarkDilley|MarkDilley]] | |||
** I agree and will try to do this --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small> 20:49, 17 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
* I propose that we are now doing this and this proposal can be moved to a completed proposals area. --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small> 18:37, 18 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
== | ==Proposal: 2006-01-29: New categories production== | ||
* We make the actual new cateogies after x time or x wiki fall into that category, pre-launch. [[User:MarkDilley|MarkDilley]] | |||
** Additional Categories. I found that if you add an additional category to a page (see CodeBook and AddYourOwn) you must also add the category command somewhere on the page so that it also categorized the article properly. I am concerned that this will be confusing to users, so for now, I am using this format to at least keep it all in one place: --[[User:Rathbone|Ray]] 17:04, 19 Jan 2006 (EST) | |||
*** Ray, I know what you mean about the proper way to create new categories, but I'm not sure what you're saying about "this format." Can you clarify, please? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 00:02, 18 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
== Proposal: 2006-02-13: Authentic language categories == | |||
* see [[:Category:Spanish]] discussion for more info/example. | |||
== Proposal: 2006-02-13: Image links == | |||
''moved from [[StartUp Issues]]'' [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 12:14, 18 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
* Map the WikiLogo to the Wiki_url, so as to have the additional link to their front page. [[User:MarkDilley|MarkDilley]] | |||
** Does anyone think it would be a) a good idea to map the logo image in the template to wiki_URL = and b) is it even possible to do such a crazy thing? :-) [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small> | |||
*** Have heard this is not with in the knowledge of us, if it is even possilbe. | |||
==Proposal: 2006-02-14: Structured data == | |||
* What would the definition be for [[StructuredData]] | |||
** I don't know what this is (and yes, I've read the page). [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 00:01, 18 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
: Trying to clarify that because this site uses structured data, some things are done a little differently than other wiki. (wikipedia, meatball, etc). I think Structured Data is new to the wiki family, it is to me, so being clear about it will help. | |||
:: I still don't understand. How is this different from Meatball or Wikipedia? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 00:11, 18 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
==Proposal: 2006-02-17: Tag and category use== | |||
* Tags would be used in the description field of the page, either inline or as a bulleted list, whatever the editor wishes, using the tag template. | |||
:: example: http://www.wikiindex.com/index.php?title=ArborWiki&action=edit§ion=1 | |||
* Categories would be used as media wiki currently understands them for the footer grouping. They would be placed above the template code for two reasons: | |||
# cleaner for the site/newbies | |||
# put them infront of template categories in the footer section, to highlight them. | |||
:: example: http://www.wikiindex.com/index.php?title=ArborWiki&action=edit | |||
Please indicate your approval (or not) here: | |||
* '''yes''' [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 11:53, 18 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
* '''yes''' [[Christophe Ducamp]] | <small>[[User talk:ChristopheDucamp|talk]]</small> 11:55, 18 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
== Proposal: 2006-02-17 ordering on this page == | |||
I re-ordered this page to put newest at the bottom to encourge us to deal with the older ones first, and move them off this page. Also, don't know if you know about this feature, but there is a + item next to the "edit" link at the top of talk pages. That feature adds a new section, without having to edit the whole page. Since that new section goes at the bottom, this re-organization allows that feature to be used on this page. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 12:10, 18 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
'''Yes''', and I propose that we make an area for the proposals we've moved off this list, perhaps "ProposalArchive" or something like that --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small> 18:40, 18 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
== Proposal: 2006-02-18 EditModes == | |||
Please see [[Category talk:Wiki Edit Mode#current]] for a proposal to collape Censored, InvitationOnly, Membership, Subscription, RequestLogin and Restricted to ApprovalRequired or some other suitable name. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 12:23, 18 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
== Proposal: 2006-02-18 License == | |||
I propose we drop the NC from the Creative Commons license. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 15:48, 18 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
Can we discuss, I'm not sure I understand the rationale for this --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small> 18:38, 18 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
== Proposal 2006-02-18 Work in Progress == | |||
Let's revist what we're doing in each pass and re-do this sheet. --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small> 02:14, 19 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
== Proposal 2006-02-18 Glossary == | |||
I propose we make a [[Glossary]] with all of the WikiIndex terms so people don't get mixed up with stuff like "Private" vs. "Personal", etc. --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small> 02:18, 19 Feb 2006 (EST) | |||
