We actually already have a 3rd wiki, for developers: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOODEV/Wiki+Home Here is the history: The MediaWiki instance was the legacy wiki, used by OpenOffce.org project When the Apache project was create, we had two new wiki's created. Remember at that time we had not yet migrated the MediaWiki over to Apache, and it was not certain whether we would be able to do it. The two new wikis were: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Wiki+Home This was the "community wiki" where anyone could create an account and edit content. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOODEV/Wiki+Home This wiki was restricted to committers. The OOODEV wiki made it suitable for content that might make it into a product release. For example logos, draft help, etc. If this was put on an open wiki, where anyone would access it, then we'd need to do much more work to track permissions if we wanted to move something from the wiki into SVN for use in a release. Having a wiki that was only writable by committers ensure that the content is always under ALv2. If we want to go to a single wiki, I think we should resolve the license issue. And we should also encourage CTR by ensuring that there is an email notification for changes. We do that for CWiki today. -Rob > scope of teams section from the old OO wiki to the new wiki, or *extend the > scope of https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Wiki+Home to > include these areas. *Thus, in the future,the new wiki will only keep a > link to the old OO wiki which takes as the history data and continue to > accumulate new project data to benefit the project and contributors..Please > comment...thanks. > > -- > > Best Regards,Jianhong Cheng
