Research
Presented by Joelle
To address "questions of clarity" about wiki's position within different projects, teams, groups
- How are people/groups currently using the Wiki?
- How would people/groups like to use the Wiki?
What tools currently exist to gather data on wiki usage and maintenance?
Where to begin? Who would like to go forward/assist with this?
Short-term
- Need to gather data analytics
- Survey groups
Long-term
- Build dashboard(s) separate from the wiki that tracks usage

Agenda item for next time
Webmaker Wiki revamp
Presented by Matt Thompson
- http://openmatt.org/2014/03/25/open_scrum/
- https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webmaker
- Looks great, but also provides an example of some things not to do.
- Uses HTML instead of wikimarkup.
- Wikimarkup tends to be cleaner and easier to maintain (once you get over the learning curve).
- Uses external links for wikilinks.
- Wikilinks help us get statistics from the built-in MediaWiki features (e.g. "What Links Here").
- Has super fancy styling that may get in the way. (This is subjective, of course.)
- Super fancy styling always requires a foray into HTML and/or CSS, and may clash with the skin (especially given that different people may be using different skins).
- Uses HTML instead of wikimarkup.
- How can we provide this kind of visual styling while following mediawiki best practices?
- Looks great, but also provides an example of some things not to do.
