Hello, Currently, the wiki has a lot of wiki-user homepages. There are two issues related to those wiki pages:
1. Wiki pages and homepages share the main namespace which cause false positive in search results... (yes some user choose some ambiguous names like root, Aim, DebianLiveUser, Mac, netbug) 2. Putting personal data under an open source license sounds weird. Allowing to modify and redistribute those data is... not something we want. (We discovered this issue as we were preparing the re-licensing of the wiki). The initial plan was to simply move those pages to wiki.d.org/User/ and leave those pages copyrighted to their owners. However there is an alternative: What about moving those homepages to something like: http://contibutors.debian.org ?? Pros: * Every Debian contributor would have an (easy) to edit a homepage. (Raphael Hertzog mentioned that DM/NM might experiment using wiki homepage so applicant list their contributions) * It is possible to write a macro to generate a Portfolio[1] * The wiki could be used as a "weak" openid provider for other services. (esp. for users that don't have alioth account yet). Cons: * What about debian-community.org? Do we integrate some of the services together, etc.. What do you think about it.
