Wiki - SAMPLE[edit | edit source]
Our wiki needs a facelift. We're looking for people who want to work on the following things - keeping in mind that we're tied to the Mediawiki platform at this point.
- Redesign our site skin - Appropedia needs a facelift. Taken - User:Smallaxe
- Work with Appropedia administrators to define and deploy a new colorscheme, layout
- Standards-compliant CSS
- Translateable, internationalizable
- Accessible - displays cleanly in text-based browsers, prints out nicely / exports to PDF in a pleasant manner, can be handled by screen readers
- Adapt a form plugin - take the code (open-source) from WikiHow's form functionality and wrap it into an easy-to-install Mediawiki plugin. Not Appropedia-specific - a lot of groups want this - but we definitely want to deploy it on this specific site in a widespread manner.
- We'll provide server/hosting space and testers.
- Contact insertnamehere if interested
Forums[edit | edit source]
- Install and configure forums
- Must have cross-login with the wiki (with wiki as master if possible) - openID is one option that was discussed
- Must have the option of having a "private" forum (in a separate installation, if need be) where only a small subset of "approved" users can view/edit
- Must use open-source software
- We'll provide the server space and testers.
- Contact insertnamehere if interested
Mailing lists[edit | edit source]
- Install and configure mailing lists
- We need two discussion lists for now - appropedia-admin and appropedia-discuss, and an announcement list at appropedia-announce.
- Needs the option of making list archives private (appropedia-admin) or public (everything else).
- Archives should be accessible via site (wiki) main search.
