So I've finished with pretty much all of the edits I had in mind for
the wiki, but before I ride off into the sunset for a while, I wanted
to toss out a few ideas.
1. Do we want some kind of guideline on redirects for the wiki? Some
stable "interface" pages to the main site might be good, but beyond
that, I think minimizing redirects makes sense in this use case.
2. There's still a lot of old/missing content on the wiki, and much
of it requres a good sense of where the code is at. Also, it might be
too overwhelming for one person to work in depth on more than a few
pages at this point. I feel like a semi-coordinated swarm of editing
might be the best bet for further improvements. I was picturing a
table of all relevant pages, then people could adopt one or two to
work on, then strike/delete a record once that page is finished. Any
thoughts?
3. There are actually a few more fixes to the theme code at the head
of my bitbucket repo (and also branches for 2 different Moinmoin
upgrade paths). I'm cool with keeping the theme code for the near
future; if and when we move it onto WineHQ's git server though, just
let me know so I can note that I'm not upstream anymore.
4. Finally, spammers... they keep coming... and they're getting
smarter. We can mostly stalemate them with the regex filter, but it
blocks legit edits too sometimes (in very annoying fashion). In fact,
I think there are a few of them that have learned to turn the filter
against us by completely wiping pages with false positives so we
can't revert the page. Are there any relatively easy things we could
do to cut the spam? I don't know, but it's possible the newer version
of Moinmoin has more potent anti-spam tools.
