Usage of Wikimedia web sites
DRAFT |
We cannot work with only one site. For the different target users we do need specific web sites, with different security, content and structure rules.
Principles edit
We propose the following principles:
- Choose the site where a maximum of participants are
- Need-to-know principle (confidentiality)
- Every site has its own purpose, technology, and (in)conveniences
- Some sites are multilingual (Wikimedia Belgium), others are language specific (Wikipedia); international sites are only English
Overview edit
Geography | Website | Usage description |
---|---|---|
Wikimedia organisation related | ||
National | http://www.wikimedia.be | Fully multilingual Public website for Wikimedia Belgium (official announcements, activities announcements, mission, contacts, statutory, reports, general assembly, official PDF documents). Not a Wikimedia website; "normal" web site technology (Drupal).
Members website, where people can join up the organisation, and pay the annual fee if required. |
https://be.wikimedia.org | (This is the current website)
Collaboration site, ideas, etc. Public access, allows interaction with all members, and interested parties, but not for official announcements. As a rule of thumb, only temporary (work on progress) information on the Wiki. If the content of a page will not change anymore, the content should be transferred to another platform. We should also add a status: DRAFT, PROPOSED, FINAL, APPROVED, EXPIRED | |
Could be Namespace "Board" in above website with restricted access? | Protected and restricted access only for Board members.
Board meetings (internal material), and other private organisation material | |
International | https://meta.wikimedia.org | All international projects + chapter relationships
Crucial is the easy exchange of info amongst all chapters, and with the Foundation in a standard way, and easily traceable Project Funding request (personal, workgroup, chapter projects) |
