No matter what we're not going to 'save it somewhere' but rather keep it under 2010/.
Great. But at some point, the wiki page for a year past can be made read-only. After a further grace period, it could possibly be exported to static HTML to avoid maintaining old wiki software.
That's a good point. We also believe that definitely there should be no reason to edit 2010 in let's say 2012...
The question is whether we should migrate some pages,
That might be enough.
But which ones?
offer an easy-to-use interface to do so (yeah I know it's just copy&paste, but some people find the wiki a bit 'technical' for their taste),
That route sound like it adds a bit of development and maintenance and documentation work that is not directly related to SFD. Going that route, means learning the 'helper tool' plus the wiki. Leaving just the wiki as-is means that only one tool needs to be learned. Those that have trouble can more easily find someone else to barter with for help or to do the transfer.
This year experience so far are telling us that templates and tags are a big help for us to clean up and categorize the wiki. It still seems like wiki page creation and editing is slightly above people's skills or willingness to learn just for SFD. We're looking at making the process easier. Keeping already created region structure (while addressing missing areas) would help the process (we had a lot of cleaning up to do there), maybe having the registration form automatically create the wiki page in the right place and redirecting its user could be the way to go. I remember myself in 2007 struggling with Moinmoin interface and doing our own website in a text editor because it was "simpler". So I can relate to people's feeling in that way. Now that I edit pages all day long (a great new job!) I find Moinmoin really cool. It's also the only wiki that I know of which does HTML WYSIWYG to wiki code. But hey, I had to go through a learning curve. So the real questions for 2011 are: - how much time are team leaders willing to invest to add SFD information? - what web platform/software/editing are they familiar with? - should we keep consistency and based our decision on the fact that we keep a lot of team leader from one year to another? Maybe something to discuss after Sep 18th... Thanks. Fred
or do nothing.
I'd say migrate a few pages.
