I think we should consolidate wikitech and mediawiki. If wikipedia.org can fit all the world's knowledge, how come we can't fit all our technical know-how on one site? The fragmentation is unnecessary and arbitrary, it confuses most newcomers and those not paying attention to the "proper separation" between them.
The site should highlight and share the technology platform used at Wikimedia Foundation. *We need a site for everyone to look at, participate in, and replicate our technology.* Replication could be anything from the most basic MW installation to a complete replica of our cluster. If we are not happy with the URL, lets come up with another one, or decide that wikitech is the preferred name, and redirect everything there. The main page would have mediawiki docs, labs, server info and stats, hackathons, apis, RFCs, and everything else related. Any non-wiki information like server health could be sub-domain of this site, possibly with extra permissions. Lets create and share a knowledge platform, not just software. </end-rant> :) On Thu, Apr 4, 2013 at 3:24 AM, Quim Gil <q...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > Thank you for the vivid discussion about the potential future roles of > http://mediawiki.org and http://wikitech.wikimedia.org > > I have updated http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/** > Technical_communications/Dev_**wiki_consolidation#Proposed_**solution<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_communications/Dev_wiki_consolidation#Proposed_solution>accordingly. > > > On 04/03/2013 03:51 PM, Steven Walling wrote: > >> who's going to do the work of >> migrating all our project documentation over? >> > > guillom, myself and whoever else wants to help. > > http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/**Technical_communications/Dev_** > wiki_consolidation#Steps<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_communications/Dev_wiki_consolidation#Steps> > > > -- > Quim Gil > Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation > http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/**User:Qgil<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil> > > ______________________________**_________________ > Wikitech-l mailing list > Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org > https://lists.wikimedia.org/**mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l<https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l> > _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
