| * Important: fix up wiki links which may have broken during migration; often, a single set of [brackets] will do the trick. * Find and fix links which still point to the old wiki * check for orphaned pages and link to relevant sections * hunt for links pointing to the old Wiki and have them redirected (see below) * Convert all pages to MoinMoin Syntax and deactivate the other input methods... |

=== Populate === |
| Line 18: | Line 11: |
| * Teams - add copy from the wiki Teams to the website - http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/teams/ and keep that current. * UbuntuCommunity Philosophy - amend the Philosophy page on the website to include copy from http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/UbuntuCommunityPhilosophy * (Maybe use a macro to automatically update the pages under support etc.?) * Polishing documentation that already ships with Ubuntu? * Create a macro to automatically have link on DocPages to the translations. * organize the pages below into some kind of useful hierarchy like in IdeasForNewFrontPageStructure. Visit them and use the reparent button or backlinks tab to move them under suitable parent pages. * Maybe create a "stubs" page, which contains all pages which need more work. |
The next logical step after restructuring the UserDocumentation page is to "fill" the sub-pages that are linked-to off the main page. The suggested method to populate the pages is to search the Wiki on page title names with keywords related to the page. |

| * UbuntuBootupHowto * EncryptedFilesystemHowto * NFSServerHowTo * NautilusScriptsHowto I think that if this isn't broken down in some simple way it'll end up being a giant script repository. Not necessarily a bad thing, but proper organization would encorage people to either put their script on a totally seperate page or in another, dedicated scripts page. * SettingUpSamba * Java - needs to be vastly simplified and updated to the new version of sun java, 1.5.0 update 2. * InitScriptList |
After the search, each document should be examined to check that it is a document, that it meets a minimum standard and is not a repetitive effort of another document. Once a document matches these simple rules, it should be placed on the correct sub-page of UserDocumentation. A secondary stage of the populating could be to perform a search on text with related keywords, however, this is a much larger task. |

A concerted effort needs to be made to improve the way version-specific documents exist in the Wiki. Starting from the sub-pages of UserDocumentation, a cleanup needs to be made to ensure that an end-user does not get confused about the version a document applies to. The cleanup will include removing documents from the sub-pages that are clearly irrelevant to the current, previous or development version. |

Pages that are not version-neutral (can be used for all versions) or are not applicable to the current version are to be flagged with a short alert message at the top of the document - notifying the reader what version the document applies to. The creation of version-specific icons (the iconic Badger-Badger-Badger head for Breezy) would also aid in the versioning overhaul. |

Wiki Cleanup Proposal
The WikiCleanupProposal is the result of consultation with the greater Ubuntu community on what needs improvement in the Ubuntu Wiki. The emphasis of the proposal is to restructure the Wiki into a high-quality documentation source that encourages Ubuntu users to use and contribute to.
Populate
The next logical step after restructuring the UserDocumentation page is to "fill" the sub-pages that are linked-to off the main page. The suggested method to populate the pages is to search the Wiki on page title names with keywords related to the page.
eg. "print" returns AutomaticPrinterConfiguration, HPPrinterInstallation, HowToXeroxPrinters, HpPrinterInstallationAndMaintenanceBreezy, HpPscHpPhotosmartSeriesAllInOnePrinters, NetworkPrintingFromMacOSX, NetworkPrintingFromWin2000, NetworkPrintingFromWinXP, NetworkPrintingFromWindows, PrinterSharing, WindowsXPPrinter and XeroxPrintersHowto
After the search, each document should be examined to check that it is a document, that it meets a minimum standard and is not a repetitive effort of another document. Once a document matches these simple rules, it should be placed on the correct sub-page of UserDocumentation. A secondary stage of the populating could be to perform a search on text with related keywords, however, this is a much larger task.
The following sub-pages are in need of extra links:
- [:Sound]
- [:Multimedia] - mostly the Graphics section
- most of the other "newer" pages are in need of review
Versioning
A concerted effort needs to be made to improve the way version-specific documents exist in the Wiki. Starting from the sub-pages of UserDocumentation, a cleanup needs to be made to ensure that an end-user does not get confused about the version a document applies to. The cleanup will include removing documents from the sub-pages that are clearly irrelevant to the current, previous or development version.
Pages that are not version-neutral (can be used for all versions) or are not applicable to the current version are to be flagged with a short alert message at the top of the document - notifying the reader what version the document applies to. The creation of version-specific icons (the iconic Badger-Badger-Badger head for Breezy) would also aid in the versioning overhaul.
