Discussion

So what is the purpose of this wiki?

a civic wiki fr Portland?

What is the scope?

anything to do with Portland?

What is the vision?

to emerge organically?

Will editors be paid?

probably not

Is editing this volunteer work?

probably yes

Who owns the wiki?

envisioned as a community project, while Ray King does has the name and Dave has the server

What will the wiki governance system be? Michael (talk)

it will emerge organically? Best, MarkDilley

So I agree with Mark's answers (or questions?) but I was hoping we'd have this sort of discussion at PortlandWiki talk:Community Portal. I'm thinking discussion is best done in the "PortlandWiki talk:" and "Talk:" and "User talk:" namespaces; at least that's what most wikis do. Simply "Discussion" is a clearer title I suppose though, at least for wiki newbies... what do you folks think? -kotra (talk) 02:39, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Search Extensions

• Looked at Extension:SphinxSearch and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Lucene-search. Wikipedia uses the latter, but SphinxSearch looks more feasible. Not entirely clear if DreamHost allows us the required server access to install and compile the extension, however. -WikiMaster (talk) 18:13, 19 January 2011 (PST)
