Archiving

I guess the Greenhouse will probably be the first discussion page on Wikispore that we'll have to archive, maybe in a month or two. Any idea on the best lightweight way to do this?--Pharos (talk) 03:56, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Archiving manually is easy on a wiki this small. I don't think we need any bots, etc. yet. I personally prefer the page move method but it seems like I am the only one on Earth who does. :/ As for styling, etc. I think we can just copy and paste the relevant bits from en.wp.

I've gone ahead and manually archived Greeenhouse/2020.--Pharos (talk) 15:11, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

COMMunication Standards/Habits/Services/Apps

In the light of consolidating plans for Wikispore, it would be desirable also to advance Communication. Last meetings made me think how we have spectrum of people who have focus on different aspects of work and can feel a bit estranged when we are discussing just one tech, content, organizing, finances, outreach...

We are far from being ripe as a community and many of us have not worked together, so to get closer to a flow and get ready for actions I would suggest we at least share overview and ideally connect some of existing channels but also have their mindful use and attention of peers.

Seems like there are many options already:

HERE @ Wikispore.org's Centralized discussion Greenhouse (my impression is under-used not attended/maintained)

1. mailing list as lowest level standard great for non-urgent and solid info as has most people and searchable archive (?) but somehow not on meta:Mailing_lists/Overview (?!?)*(my impression is that it should remain official and public)
2. telegram group has 24 people and bit more active, was especially so after the birthday online event (my impression is that it will be relevant for social aspects)
3. Wikimedia Chat channel #wikispore with 13 people was so far tech topics focused like WIKISPORE-Tech(?) https://chat.wmcloud.org/wikimedia/channels/wikispore (my impression is that it should be explicitly so + IRC linked)
4. IRC ... did we even start using IRC? Who would? When?

I know few people avoid messengers and would like to stick to not only Free/Libre/OpenSourceSoftware, but also standards, so it would be important to bridge (technically and socially) both Wikisporians and activities relating to Wikispore.

Please reply if you want to join or avoid any of the channels directly to Richard/Pharos and me to advance this situation. If you have an observation or other input please email the list and/or write here!

(Further to the mailing list posts.) There's also a Matrix room at https://matrix.to/#/#wikispore:matrix.org which is completely not used. :-)

I think there's much to be said for keeping things on-wiki, but we suffer here from the usual issues of people being able to keep up to date and reply easily etc.

(By the way, I tried to reply here via the DiscussionTools thing, but it didn't work. Will make a separate thread as to why.)

I totally agree and I hope we could work to have community coordinator that could add structure and clarity to communication and onboarding which are essential for the next level of growth of the Wikispore effort. --Zblace (talk) 06:43, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

I think we should probably stick to on-wiki, telegram and mailing list for now, until there is actually an interested community with a demand for a FLOSS social solution. So far, there really isn't such a demand yet, or devs identified who are interested in contributing to Wikispore, but can only communicate through that method. A FLOSS social solution would be great long-term, but probably shouldn't be a priority yet.--Pharos (talk) 13:25, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

UPDATE: WIKISPORE-tech group on telegram created (Gergo and Richard co-admins) https://t.me/+mRPHp9lWc4dkNjY0 Consider joining or wait for the bridge to WM Chat --Zblace (talk) 16:51, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
