Hi Priscilla,
I'd support your proposal.
Perhaps we could make "ask everyone to go through and deprecate"
more concrete -- I don't think we actually want *everyone* to be
sidetracked by this project.
We could divide it up and assign owners to different pieces.
Certainly it makes sense to give some of this to me, Philippe,
Sheila, yourself, Ted, Aparna, etc.
Would it make sense for you to list out high level categories which
we could assign owners to? If it is not immediately obvious, I can
work with you on the categories/owners.
Cheers,
Katie

Not sure if everyone had the chance to read this. Please speak up
if you have any questions/additional comments on this proposal for
the wiki.
*Next Actions:*
+ After creating some templates/styles for the new wiki we plan to
copy and migrate all the existing files over. Then ask everyone to
go through and deprecate old pages which are no longer useful.
See additional options and full proposal below.
*Timeline:*
We're working towards mid/end December (oh yes it's Dec already!)
to update the framework and look-and-feel, then a second round in
2007-Q1 for final wiki pruning.
Thanks, -Priscilla

The current wiki is running Twiki 4.0.1; the new wiki will run
Twiki 4.0.5. The default templates on the new wiki are CSS-based,
and we'll be updating the look-and-feel to be based on the new
default templates.
*GOAL*
Our goal is to try and have people pointing to the new wiki
before the Preview launch dates. This will help make things
easier for people outside the organization to find the most
recent information when running searches on the wiki (and in
Google).
*OPTIONS*
The following options have been proposed. The pros and cons of
each are listed out on the wiki page: http://
wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Journal/DraftWikiProposal
+ Option 1: Copy and migrate all the existing files over, ask
everyone to go through and deprecate old pages which are no
longer useful.
+ Option 2: Start completely fresh. Perhaps even to use a
different wiki. Link back to the old wiki site, but as a read-
only view. The old wiki site will not be maintained, only one
wiki will be 'in production'. + Option 3: Copy only selected
pages over. Link back to the old wiki site, but as a read-only
view. So if people would want to move a page over to the new wiki
after migration, they would have to create a new page on the new
Twiki. Once again only one wiki site is in production and
maintained.
*PROPOSAL*
+ The wiki team will be working on new templates, layout and
sections based on the taxonomy work by Ted/Mimi: http://
wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Journal/WikiReTaxonomy
+ We're deciding to go with option #1: Copy all the wiki pages
and migrate all the existing files over to the new server.
Excluding some obvious sections ie. trash, other pages which are
deprecated. + Locate all the important pages and map them to the
new hierarchy. ie. Journal to Notes section, some sections in
'Projects' need to be moved to the new 'Planning' section.
+ Ask everyone to do some wiki gardening on their own sections
and deprecate any pages which are no longer relevant.
+ Send out a last call to review any last wiki pages left on the
old wiki site.
+ The plan is to only have a single wiki in production, so after
the defined 'cut-off' date all the old content will be available
under the new UI. + Continue to follow up with more wiki pruning
into 2007 as needed.
*TIMELINE*
We're working towards December to update the framework and look-
and-feel, then a second round in 2007-Q1 for final wiki pruning.
We'd like to ask if anyone has any concerns before we move
forward with the proposal.
