New wiki looks great.

Scott: ++1

The LF hasn't installed a WYSIWYG editor yet but we can request it if

there's a need.

Jack: I'm thinking we should request one. Media wiki syntax while not difficult may seem bizarre to some people?

Scott: yes!

Yeah, I know. I also sent a request to the LF.

You can email me directly in the meantime.

I glossed over the Getting Started link. Would it make sense to display it as "Getting Started Using this Wiki"?

Attachments can only be downloaded when logged in

Still a problem. In fact, the attachment extension is quite buggy, so
I'd like to remove it"

Jack: Attachments seem necessary so I wouldn't want to remove that ability if that is what you are suggesting. Let's talk about the issues first.


I like the wiki conventions page. We should probably call it out on the main page to read before you make changes to the site? I would also suggest adding a few basics, such as How do I create a New Page on there (it's not obvious if you haven't done it) and how to upload and insert an image on a page? You could also link to here as well: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting . If you'd like I could add it.

Jack

The wiki has been migrated to a proper wiki using MediaWiki. All
content (including past revisions) has been migrated.

You can find the new wiki at http://wiki.spdx.org/view/

Here's a "Getting started" guide:

Matt Germonprez gave a great overview of the wonderful work they are doing

Slides available on the minutes page

Legal Team is looking for feedback on the license inclusion guidelines by April 11.

See Jilayne's March 28 email to this list for more detail

Please participate in the SPDX survey and help to promote to others

Will be launching week of Collab Summit; keep your eyes peeled.

It's still possible to sign up for the Collaboration Summit April 15-16 in SF. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/collaboration-summit  There will an SPDX-specific track and working meetings on the Tuesday before.

 

April 4 at the usual time. Note that Europe will be on daylight time by then, so back to normal time diff.

We will have a presentation from Matt Germonprez from the University of Nebraska to discuss their SPDX work. 

We'll move thru the normal agenda quickly and then turn it over to Matt for about 30 mins. 

He'll be sharing his screen, so please plan to be near a computer. 

Feel free to invite colleagues who might be interested. 

As part of our migration of the web site to the Linux Foundation, we
decided a few months ago to move the SPDX development area to a proper
wiki (MediaWiki). This will make collaboration easier and offer some
features that have been requested in the past.

I've been working on migrating our existing content over to MediaWiki.
I've finished this work and I'd like to invite feedback on the new wiki:
http://sandbox.spdx.org/index.php/Main_Page

It would be great if each team leader (with the help of volunteers)
could look through their areas on the new wiki to check if all content
has been migrated properly. I tested everything thoroughly but with
around 380 pages I'm sure I made some mistakes (on the other hand, I
also fixed some formatting issues I found on the current wiki).

If you find any issues, please email me. Do *not* makes fixes on the
wiki as this is just a temporary wiki.

Since this wiki is just a temporary site, feel free to make changes in
order to get familiar with MediaWiki. Here's a page explaining the
MediaWiki syntax: <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting>
I will prepare a guide on how to use the new wiki before we migrate.
If you make changes to the test wiki, make sure to inform other people
who have volunteered to check the wiki, so your changes won't be
reported as problems with the conversion.

Until we migrate to the new wiki, you can still makes changes to the
current wiki (i.e. nothing changes for now). I'll incorporate any
changes into the new wiki before we migrate officially.

Below are more details for those interest.

Let me know if there are any questions.

Martin


## What has been migrated

* All wiki pages (about 380) including their history (past revisions)
* All attachments from wiki pages
* All users who made changes to the wiki (see below for a list)
* No comments (I'll try to look into this later but this is low priority)

## Notes on the conversion

* URLs: I changed all URLs to make them more wiki-like. I tried to use a scheme that makes sense but you can obviously disagree with my choice. The URL scheme uses sub pages to add a hierarchy (like we have on the current site). If the URL scheme doesn't make sense, let me know.
* Past revisions: I performed the conversion in 2 steps: 1) for all historical revisions of a page, I imported the HTML as an exact copy -- this works fairly well but not 100% as MediaWiki doesn't accept all HTML tags (specifically, links). 2) The latest revision of each page has been converted to MediaWiki markup; as a result, the pages are cleaner, easier to edit and look more unified.
* User names: I migrated existing user names (if the user made a wiki edit); if you'd like a more "wiki-style" user name (FirstLast is popular), let me know
* File names: some files had _ in their file name; MediaWiki doesn't like this so I changed _ to -
* HTML attachments: MediaWiki doesn't accept HTML attachments. I put the existing attachments in manually but you won't be able to upload HTML attachments in the future. This may impact the technical team.

## Known Issues

* Attachments can only be downloaded when logged in
* Comments have not been migrated
* I need to write a guide on how to use the new wiki
* There's no WYSIWYG editor on this wiki but there will be one once we migrate
* Category links are not working
