Subject: [Fwd: Re: [chairs] Wikis]
This is the information on the WIKI that Dale and I have requested. We will discuss briefly today. >> jb clark: A number of OASIS TCs have asked for Wiki capability. >> Wikis have proven to be a useful "scratch space'" tool in communities >> like ours. The most stable, capable commonly-used Wiki engine that >> our tech staff have identified is MoinMoin, which several >> OASIS-related communities use. We plan to make Wiki pages available >> to any TC that requests it,. Our tech staff has installed a Wiki >> server and is running a beta test with the XRI and XDI TCs. >> >> Expected ground rules: (a) global public readable, (b) write >> access to TC members, (c) the IPR Policy applies, and (d) archiving >> of intermediate drafts is intermittent (as with all Wikis), so any >> permanent artifacts should be moved to the regular TC document >> repository. >> >> As the beta testing TCs do their work, you may find it >> interesting to watch. See: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xri >> and http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi >> For more on the MoinMoin engine specifically see: >> http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/FrontPage >> For more on WIkis generally, here's one of many possible resources: >> http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?WhyWikiWorks >> >> Any other TCs that are interested in being part of the beta >> test, particularly those with robust activity and a strong likelihood >> to use the resource, should let us know.
