Wiki revitalisation plan

New Content to be added

 * User stories - so that community can add their stories to what we're working on (HL idea)

International Community

 * Welcome Pack for Local Group Ambassadors / new Local Initiatives, combined to be the same for incoming Working Group Coordinators
 * Community resources page, http://okfn.org/local/community-resources/
 * International Council planning pages
 * Projects and Outreach Committee
 * Mentoring Committee

Wiki Gardening
Lots of "Wiki Gardening" to do, meaning basic edits to keep the wiki tidy, properly interlinked, consistently formatted without necessarily spending lots of effort on authoring content.

See also Community Roles/Wiki Gardener. We should expand this wiki meta information, e.g. to including content conventions, guidelines, and cleanup labels (like this) for wiki gardeners to use.

Content to be updated
We should try to keep key content up-to-date e.g. pages like OKCon could use some basic update edits.

There's lots of more of stale information on many other pages where we might aim to just label it as "out of date" or note the year when past initiatives took place.

Have a look through Special:AllPages or go for a Special:Random you'll find there's quite a lot of stale information.

Promoting wiki usage
Ideas for getting more people using the wiki?

Technical Considerations

 * Do we stay on this MediaWiki platform/in this wiki space or rebuild it from scratch?
 * If we stay, we need a despamming plan.
 * User:Joelrebello has deployed a couple of anti-spam measures which are, for the moment, keeping spammers out. This was after Harry Wood spent a long time removing massive amounts of spam from this wiki, and then zapping new spam as it came in. So a fair amount of effort has gone into keeping this wiki working.
 * Despamming is something anybody can help with (See Community Roles/Wiki Gardener) and if a community of editors were "revitalised" here, we might hope that this would happen, to the extent of allowing us to relax some of the anti-spam measures (Things like requiring the word "NOSPAM" on new page creation inconveniences/confuses legitimate users a little bit)  Manual despamming by the community (done in a timely manner) along with some basic automated filtering is the best combination.
 * It would actually be a good "open knowledge" oriented software development initiative to create some new Captcha solutions to help not just OKFN mediawiki admins, but all MediaWIki admins. Something different from google reCaptcha (which has been auto-bypassed) but more watertight than QuestyCaptcha


 * OKFN wiki: discover why so many spam accounts are created: useful issue on GitHub.
