Greetings public-fedsocweb, 1. Summary: Let's move to using http://www.w3.org/wiki/Federatedsocialweb/ for our wiki. For the past 3 months, the only people editing our CG-specific wiki are Evan P. and myself. http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/federatedsocialweb/wiki/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&days=365 There's a reason for this: CG-specific wikis. I'm not sure how or why W3C decided to default to giving each WG/CG it's own Wiki-silo that only members of that WG can edit. It was a bad/dumb idea. * biggest problem: reduces/discourages contributions from those outside this CG (wikis work because nice people perform helpful drive-by edits. requiring a separate account, or worse, formally joining some "group" discourages this greatly). * also: inconvenient to have to login multiple times to edit multiple W3C wikis I'd like to start using http://www.w3.org/wiki/Federatedsocialweb as our "official" CG wiki. Evan, what do you think, and how easy/hard is it to change the "Wiki" link on the top left of http://www.w3.org/community/fedsocweb/ to link to http://www.w3.org/wiki/Federatedsocialweb/ ? I'm proposing we leave the http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/federatedsocialweb/wiki/ in place as a time capsule of sorts for the IG and other work to date through 2012. Thanks, Tantek 2. P.S. Should we switch to #federated? P.S. While you're there (in that top left corner), I noticed that no-one is in the "Chat" IRC channel #fedsocweb. However there are bunch of folks left over from previous discussions in #federated. Should we consider switching our official CG IRC channel to #federated (since that's where people are?) Alternatively, everyone here is invited to check out: irc://irc.freenode.net/indiewebcamp (archives: http://indiewebcamp.com/irc ) where there are healthy discussions on these sorts of topics on a nearly *daily* basis (more often than this mailing list).
