The first Occupy Portland Wiki meeting was a success!

Post-meeting notes

Attendees:


Topics discussed:

  • event creation instructions, ease of use
  • revamping events page with calendar and/or more prominently listed/embedded occupyportlandcalendar.org
  • reorganizing/improving Occupy Portland page
  • what form should Occupy Portland Wiki take (committee, workgroup, subcommittee, etc). Consensus seemed to lean towards making ourselves more known to the web team, and the Communications group as a whole. Maybe calling ourselves a workgroup of the Communications Committee.
  • collaborating with occupyportlandcalendar.org (Dan)?
  • making PortlandWiki easier to edit, with visual editor, forms, etc.
  • whether to split Occupy Portland content on PortlandWiki to its own separate wiki
  • anything else?


Tasks to do:

  • Calendar tabs for event page
    • Mark and Simon offered to investigate this
  • Create event form
    • Kotra offered to do this
  • Add/investigate a breadcrumbs extension
    • Dave offered to do this
  • Reorganize Occupy Portland page
    • get rid of news box (redundant with other places)
    • make page into a portal of subportals to keep it trim and simple
  • Occupy Portland event pages need to use Category:Occupy Portland Events, not Category:Occupy Portland
    • Kotra offered to do this
  • anything else?
