Occupy Portland Wiki meeting 2011-12-21

The first Occupy Portland Wiki meeting was a success!

Post-meeting notes

Attendees:

• Kotra
• Mark
• Dave
• Simon
• Dan
• Aaron

Topics discussed:

• event creation instructions, ease of use
• revamping events page with calendar and/or more prominently listed/embedded occupyportlandcalendar.org
• reorganizing/improving Occupy Portland page
• what form should Occupy Portland Wiki take (committee, workgroup, subcommittee, etc). Consensus seemed to lean towards making ourselves more known to the web team, and the Communications group as a whole. Maybe calling ourselves a workgroup of the Communications Committee.
• collaborating with occupyportlandcalendar.org (Dan)?
• making PortlandWiki easier to edit, with visual editor, forms, etc.
• whether to split Occupy Portland content on PortlandWiki to its own separate wiki
• anything else?

Tasks to do:

• Calendar tabs for event page
  • Mark and Simon offered to investigate this
• Create event form
  • Kotra offered to do this
• Add/investigate a breadcrumbs extension
  • Dave offered to do this
• Reorganize Occupy Portland page
  • get rid of news box (redundant with other places)
  • make page into a portal of subportals to keep it trim and simple
• Occupy Portland event pages need to use Category:Occupy Portland Events, not Category:Occupy Portland
  • Kotra offered to do this
• anything else?
