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) |
