Re: [epf-dev] EPF Wiki and contributing through a Wiki (epfwiki.net)

[Ricardo Balduino <balduino@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Onno,

I think it is a great idea to periodically
send an automatic message to epf-dev with a summary of what has been contributed
to the Wiki. We'd need to clear with Eclipse legal that this approach works
though.

I'd say we start with weekly reports,
so we have a sense of the volume of contributions.

What information could we automatically
extract? It would be interesting to see in this report, as a minimum:
- Web site name and version
- list of pages contributed/changed,

- list of contributors 
        -
name or user ID
        -
date of contribution
        -
material contributed (this may be too much, a link to the Wiki page may
be more feasible)
- any other information?

Thanks,

Subject	[epf-dev] EPF Wiki  and contributing through a Wiki (epfwiki.net)

Hi group,
Last week I created a new site http://epfwiki.net
with the Wiki technology that was donated by LogicaCMG and that is currently
under Eclipse Legal Review. The trigger for creating this site is the translation
effort, but of course it can also host regular weekly builds of published
sites that can be downloaded from http://www.eclipse.org/epf.
I like to consider this site an unofficial EPF community site, sponsored
by LogicaCMG, created using software that will eventually be EPF software,
after a positive Eclipse Legal Review.
 
There is also a demo site http://demo.epfwiki.net
with a demo account demo@xxxxxxxxxxx
with password demo where you can try out this technology. 
 
An interesting was raised by Ricardo while
we were discussing use of it for the translation effort: how Wikis can
be accepted as a means of contributing as expected by the Eclipse organization.
Of course this is an unofficial site but it would be nice if contributions
made there would also be recognized by the Eclipse organization, similar
to Bugzilla and the official discussions lists. 
 
I think there are a number of approaches
to this interesting issue. I like to present what I think is a pragmatic
approach: send every Wiki contribution to the epf-dev mailing list. We
could do this real-time or send a daily, weekly or even monthly report.
Do you think this is a viable option, good approach? If we think it is,
I like to ask the committers to make a decision on it and maybe put it
to a vote?
Best Regards,
Onno
