Outreach

Goals

• One hundred daily contributors by end of September, 2011 (PortlandWiki's second birthday).
• Easier user interface; make PortlandWiki readily accessible to non-geek contributors.

Admin

Spent day researching how to upload pre written articles en masse.

Looked at

• Inserting articles straight into MediaWiki database

Must Read: Wikipedia:Creating a bot

MediaWiki Bulk Page Creator

(Depends on Snoopy; already trying to get DreamHost to help with server config.)

(Finally got Snoopy installed but MediaWiki Bulk Page Creator's documentation is non-existent. Moving to Also, And....)

Also

• MediaWiki API:Main page
• Article Class Reference

Article::doEdit()

• get wiki data from UseModWiki

And

• Extension:External Data

(Extension:External Data is part of the Semantic Bundle already installed on PortlandWiki.)

• Extension:MassEditRegex
• Manual:Importing external content

Manual:Importing external content - Converting content from a CSV text file

csv and xls converter to wiki

Other mediawiki extensions

• Template:Extension
• Extension:AddPageService

Will need to config SOAP.

• Extension:Data Transfer

MediaWiki Manuals

• Manual:Importing XML dumps
• Category:Editor handbook
