! Editorial Board Meeting 2009 05 {REMARKSBOX(class=>Note,title=>"Note")} !!!!- About Quorum and Voting __Quorum__: is defined as the smallest number which is greater than 50% of the number of current members. __Current members__: individuals who have voted in ''both'' of the two previous meetings. In other words: Quorum "floats" to match half of whatever the current level of participation is. If someone misses a meeting (or is new) they won't count towards quorum for the next two. ''It does not mean that they cannot vote''. The list of current members at the top of the page is for reference, anyone may note that so and so voted in some ((Editorial Board)) meetings and adds that name. Edit history of a page is the real proof of participation. there must be an edit in that month by that person. If consensus is not reached on a particular motion, a vote will decide on accepting or rejecting a motion. It takes 50%+1 "current" members voting (for, against or abstain) to decide a motion. For example if the number of current members is 7, then quorum would be 4, which means that if two vote in favor, one against and one abstains, the motion passes. !!!! This is a meeting of the ((Editorial Board)) - it runs online from May 1 to May 31, 2009. * Members considered current for this meeting (9): chibaguy, dthacker, klang, luci, marclaporte, MatWho, mlpvolt (MLP), ricks99, xavi +__5 votes (for, against or abstain) are needed to reach quorum on the decisions for this month__. Please read above the [[+] "About Quorum and voting" section. * Contributors to this meeting: see "history" of the page. {REMARKSBOX} !

Depending on how reduced TOC in side menu looks, some keywords might still be helpful since lots of things are covered in keywords that wouldn't show in a reduced TOC or freetags. Otherwise menu proposals seem okay.) !!# Change doc.tw.o modules ^__Motion:__ Change modules according to ((tw:doctwo revamp)) proposal page.^ __Discussion__: see that ((tw:doctwo revamp)) page. __In Favor__: Rick, Xavi __Opposed__: lindon (I don't mean that i completely oppose but i do like the registered users online, and search by page name modules for registered users. Also assume the developer menu would remain for those users.) !!# categories for status are there but not being used. Do we use? or do we nuke? I (ricks99) would like to continue to use them (to alert readers as to the "correctness" of a particular page). However I see a potential issue: How can we "split" the category of a page when using the VERSIONS plugin? For example, the 2.x information may be "LIVE", but the 3.x information may be "TO DO." Currently (I think), Tiki allows only 1:1 -- category:page. I (ricks99) would also like to see the categories be simplified. Maybe something like: # Stub -- Newly generated page; no real content. # In Progress -- Being worked on, not up-to-date or complete. # In Review -- Content complete. Needs to be reviewed/verified. # Complete -- Page is done & published. Maybe also use Staging feature? {QUOTE(replyto=>lindon)}I could take or leave the categories for users, but find the backlinks method used in ((documentation status)) and the other tools marc has set up (like ((All plugins))) to be the best for authors.{QUOTE} !!# Remove en-uk as a possible language just causes confusion. When we filter by language, there are uk english pages which are not really different to English pages There is no en-uk version for Wikipedia, with [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias/sortable|over 250 languages] __In favor:__ marclaporte __Opposed:__ luci -1 -- __color__ is different than __colour__ (ricks99) !!# Remove my footnotes to simplify interface need to check in db if any data __Discussion:__ +1, i never used it myself -- luci -1, I like having it. It allows contributors to work on pages without actually editing the "real" content. ''If'' we implement the Staging system to doc.tw.o, then +1 from me (ricks99) -1, I haven't used it but think it could be useful. Not sure if staging would replace it for me. !!# Use proposal plugin for future EBM {PROPOSAL(caption="Use proposal plugin for future EBM")}Because ((DogFood)) is not just a slogan. +1 marclaporte +1 xavi +1 luci +1 ricks99 +1 lindon {PROPOSAL} --- ((Editorial Board Meeting 2009 06|Next meeting: June 2009))
