XWiki Discourse ToDo

Misc
1

Before launching we should:

  • Create Categories
  • Invite all committers and set up the Groups and Trust Level permissions (see if we have limitations in terms on people in a specific group)
  • Provide an XWiki favicon
  • Make sure the we have an XWiki logo also when scrolling down inside a topic

  • Other?

See http://markmail.org/message/mbfucokxnyecd6lb

I’ve listed 3 items there and need some answers from devs.

4

Regarding trust levels I’m proposing to keep the defaults ATM.

5
  • Provide an ‘About’ or banner about what is XWiki and what this forum contains.
6

so this means committers won’t be at least Moderators?

7

AFAICS this is not related to trust levels but to roles. You can make users “Moderators”. And yes I agree that committers should be moderators.

8

BTW this topic should also have been posted on the devs lists since it’s not a user-related topic IMO.

9

Moved the topic to the staff category and gave thomas and you moderation permission (which made you see the staff category I think)

10

So the plan is to use Discourse instead of the users list, while continuing to use devs@ mailinglist?
Or just replace the dedicated mailinglists with Discourse? Anyway, I think this will get figured out in the future and if we adopt Discourse.

I haven’t posted in the devs list since it’s related to Discourse and I though this was the appropriate place to discuss it (since it’s in its context).

Yes, I can see now the ‘Staff’ category.

11

As a first step I think and when we are happy with it maybe move dev too.

12

Caty, please read the devs list thread and the questions I asked there :wink: (and reply please since not many did).

Thx

yes it’s nice for us to get the hang of it but:

  • This thread was started on the devs list so we have a list now and you’re asking questions I’ve already asked there
  • Not everyone is reading here yet since it’s not officially open. ATM only Thomas and you have a user account apparently…
