Re: [Lubuntu-admins] [Lubuntu-wiki-docs] Lubuntu's Wiki Restructuration



Hi,

just to clarify... the likes of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers are the internal communication pages for the 'back room' staff.
The likes of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation are community docs, for general public to look up how to's, FAQ etc. It is a subtle difference and did cause headaches when I was told that having 'community' help page on the dev area was not the correct formatting for the two systems. You can link from one to the other in wiki documentation, but they are pretty darn separate systems (even different CSS system).

Hope that helps,

Phill.

+1 to all. I do think that having one location that we can go to in order to find internal documents would be great. I do think that silverlion already set up a page for press releases so you may want to check with him.

Hi all,

I apologize for my delay in proposing an actual change to our current wiki structure. However, life hasn't been easy on me.

Anyway, to more important matters:
I have organized our Wiki in a tree-sort of file. Please see attach if you ever need it.
Our Wikis are both very similar and I am not going to refer to it in terms of content. However, I do have to mention that most of the information is slightly lost since people are using it to put important information for the groups. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers/ is a good example. That page, instead of being something about the Developers team - as it should be - is an internal road map of duties and tasks.
Therefore, here is a short list of changes for our Wiki (I will mention the Community wiki too):

- First, check if any team page is consistent with its purpose. So, if we need pages for each team, we will create. Otherwise, it makes no sense to forward people to Team pages but, instead, they'll find internal information - Like the case of Lubuntu/Developers;

- Update each team pages in regard to leaders/coordinators;

- Create a particular section for internal purposes - Take the content from Lubuntu/Developers, divide into each team and post into a specific page. Something like Lubuntu/Internal. If this part goes upfront, I believe it would be wise to make everything even better. For instance, there was no road map for point releases. So, in 14.02, it was a complete mess as the Wiki team was not aware of what it was suppose to do. I've created that page and it will be included very soon (needs revision);

- I'm proposing to create a page for the Admin Team. I am not sure why it was never created before, but I assume there is a reason for that. 

- I'm also proposing to create a sort-of Press Page (something like wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Press) so that we can use the content from the Marketing & Artwork pages. Once again, these pages should be about the teams, and not tasks developed. 

- In regard to the Wiki from the Community, I am going to propose to keep the same structure and phrasing from the "official" wiki, avoiding future confusions in one's head. The Community Wiki as a completely different style of writing. Not saying that it is wrong, but it can cause confusion. Also, external linking will remain the same, since most of these go to Ubuntu's Wiki.

And that should be it for now. I sent this message to all of you, to make sure everybody agrees with this structure since this will change a lot of things around.
Thank you for your time reading and I apologize for the huge wall of text.
