Onno,
I think it is a great idea to periodically send an automatic message to
epf-dev with a summary of what has been contributed to the Wiki. We'd need
to clear with Eclipse legal that this approach works though.
I'd say we start with weekly reports, so we have a sense of the volume of
contributions.
What information could we automatically extract? It would be interesting
to see in this report, as a minimum:
- Web site name and version
- list of pages contributed/changed,
- list of contributors
- name or user ID
- date of contribution
- material contributed (this may be too much, a link to the Wiki
page may be more feasible)
- any other information?
Thanks,

[epf-dev] EPF Wiki and contributing through a Wiki (epfwiki.net)
Hi group,
Last week I created a new site http://epfwiki.net with the Wiki technology
that was donated by LogicaCMG and that is currently under Eclipse Legal
Review. The trigger for creating this site is the translation effort, but
of course it can also host regular weekly builds of published sites that
can be downloaded from http://www.eclipse.org/epf. I like to consider this
site an unofficial EPF community site, sponsored by LogicaCMG, created
using software that will eventually be EPF software, after a positive
Eclipse Legal Review.
There is also a demo site http://demo.epfwiki.net with a demo account
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with password demo where you can try out this technology.
An interesting was raised by Ricardo while we were discussing use of it
for the translation effort: how Wikis can be accepted as a means of
contributing as expected by the Eclipse organization. Of course this is an
unofficial site but it would be nice if contributions made there would
also be recognized by the Eclipse organization, similar to Bugzilla and
the official discussions lists.
I think there are a number of approaches to this interesting issue. I like
to present what I think is a pragmatic approach: send every Wiki
contribution to the epf-dev mailing list. We could do this real-time or
send a daily, weekly or even monthly report. Do you think this is a viable
option, good approach? If we think it is, I like to ask the committers to
make a decision on it and maybe put it to a vote?
Best Regards,
Onno
