Wiki Working Group

Contact: Charlie Horak, Oak Ridge National Laboratory

The purpose of the working group is to improve the site by involving more team members in the development. This includes setting priorities, developing revised structure, recruiting content owners, brainstorming, and following up on input from team.

2019 Team Meeting, Santos, Brazil

Status on Feedback from 2018 Closeout Presentation

  • Add more obvious link to Slack site and other ways for people to communicate--Added link to contacts page and to left Organizers/Editors page
  • Separate menus not working--Removed all but SPMS.
  • Put SPMS link on top menu?
  • Reinstate Tools?

2019 Updates

  • Updated Organizers/editors left menu and home page.
  • Consolidated all information about organizing/running a conference on New Running a JACoW Conference page.
  • Updated/Consolidated SPMS left menu and home page.
  • Updated second-level pages to accommodate loss of second-level menus.
  • Updated, reformatted sitemap.

Recommendations

  • Content manager needs to be closely involved in development of team meeting agenda to help organizers make the best use of documentation already in place and avoid additional redundancy.
  • New Running a JACoW Conference page:
    • Overview, Roles, Staffing, and Timelines: Organizational information, roles, responsibilities need to be consolidated and condensed. Depending on status of migration to Indico, development of timeline from the information in this section might still be useful.
    • IT section needs to be consolidated and condensed.
  • At 2018 meeting, idea was presented to include updating of wiki documentation as part of conference closeout. Series-specific pages could be set up as an incentive to get "rolling" documentation.
