Docs Wiki Roadmap[edit]
Short Term[edit]
- Identify documentation needs by user type better
- Beginners - need to be more targeted
- Easy Tutuorials - short and concise (using as a model - Wikipedia's Wikipedia:Tutorial)
- Beginners need targeted core ideas and methods (Too much information puts off)
- Easy to navigate and follow
Use of Header Tabs extension
- Installed! see example of use Hutchy68/Getting Started test page or Installing Joomla!
- Developers - more involvement, better method of involvement
- Web designers - target ease of design, better articles targeted towards CSS, Bootstrap
- Administrators - target common tasks with more detail
- Evaluators - ideas needed?
Recognition of contributions, work on wikicomplete, see Barnstar awards- Home page - start of redesign is here
- Navigation
- Portal pages
- Better documentation search - Google integration? Lucerne?
- Improve structure
- Namespace aliases for easier link building
- Disambiguation pages
Spam control - multipage sign up. AntiSpoof, AbuseFilter together.
AbuseFilter (Tested! - see Talk page) - will automatically block and remove users based on rules, can be new user time sensitive running against only new users.
- Installed! and working now, see AbuseLog and AbuseFilter
- Clean up redundant and incomplete pages (what was started and never finished, or redundant)
- Investigate 'Archive' namespace, would want an alias of 'A' to simplify link creation when needed
Long Term[edit]
- Increase developer contributions!
- Welcome new users on user talk pages! Give them some additional information, style guide, templates available, etc.
- Editor assistance
- Adopt an editor? Help new wiki users
- Wiki Doc Projects - "JDOC Projects" - Portal page:JDOC Projects
- Developers
- Designers
- Better tutorials, multipage, PDF's created for download
- Developer feedback
- Enhance styleguide
- API integration with Platform and CMS
- Help Screen development simplify
- Focus on first STS, transcluded to subsequent STS versions, with a 'Final' for LTS
- Notices on support ended versions
- Better understanding for contributors, Help screens: how they work, why style guides are important
Nice to have eventually[edit]
- VEL page
- Improvement for editing by approved VEL members
- Searching
- Improved look
- Integration with administration for VEL notifications of installed Extensions.
- Multilingual support
Investigation[edit]
