I'm not so keen on the Trac wiki. I agree is it good to have the wiki
next to other information about the project, but as I notice from
Vicky's comments, it seems translating to the Trac wiki format is a problem.
Another logical place to put the wiki would be next to the code, on
github. Doing a 5 minute search I found this page:
https://guides.github.com/features/wikis/
It describes how you can use a github wiki, and make use of a wide range
of wiki formats which I assume would include the mediawiki format we
currently use. I'd suspect if we googled further we'd find an import
tool as well.
So I'd like to consult "the Oracle", ie "the Vicky" (and others) to hear
whether that would be a good idea?

Hello all
Sorry that I cold not be in the meeting today, I had a presentation to
a group of students in a University in Mexico at the time of the meeting.
About his presentation I used OSgeoLive project as follows:
In front of the students I talked about how PSC members have to
approve PR regardless if the PR is from a casual contributor or a
volunteer or from other PSC member, emphasising in that it is
important for keeping a high quality in the FOSS project. For this I
used this PR as an example:
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/pull/348
About the meeting:
I noticed that the meeting main part was about using OSGeoLive trac's
wiki or to have our own wikimedia
In any case I started experimenting on the trac's wiki and "moved"
some mediawiki pages to the trac's wiki.
Note that I consider this as an experiment so:
- OSGeo mediawiki I did not touch
- I made copy/paste (no date preservation)
- darkblue-b started categorizing OSGeo wiki pages so that we can find
the pages that belong to our project
Here are the pages on trac's wiki that I experimented on
In this one:
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive/wiki/Use_History
comers from this one:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_History
I successfully changed the links of the contact names by adding an
"osgeowiki" entry here:
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive/wiki/InterMapTxt
In this one:
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive/wiki/Press%20Release%20List
only has the press releases of this section
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Press_Releases
This other ones has blog entries that are mixed up on the press releases
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive/wiki/Press%20Blogs
Besides adding manually by copy paste all the press releases, so no
dates are preserved, if you know how to do it preserving dates please
be my guest on teaching me, took me one day to copy and reformat to
the trac's wiki mark up language
I first added this year's press releases, but after that I started
adding from the first press release. (kind of simulating the date
preservation by adding the first one before the second one and so on)
On some press releases I tried to fix some links, but some are broken.
So I just thought I wont bother to fix links yet, because this is an
experiment.
A small clarification:
I didn’t say I want pgRouting wiki pages on OSGeo wiki, I said:
01:17:20cvvergara:Sorry, so you are implying that for example: I shall
put pgRouting wiki pages on OSGeo wiki because then I can get more
visitors?
http://irclogs.geoapt.com/osgeolive/%23osgeolive.2017-11-26.log
Fortunately, as a project, pgRouting has its own wiki, unfortunately
right now OSGeoLive don't have it's own wiki. we use OSGeo wiki but we
don’t have our own.
I apologize because I was not around in the meeting to clarify and
write up my concerns.
I am there now, if you want to ask things.
Vicky
PS I love bencaradocdavies because of this comment :) :) :)
19:59:47bencaradocdavies:darkblue_b, I do not think we have a quorum,
and more importantly, we do not have a Vicky.
