So currently what is blocking people editing
http://wiki.maemo.org
?
Major obstacles on editing maemo.org Wiki
Separate user base with TMO, user has to register him/herself to two different places.
Markup language of Wiki, to even make wiki posting as "stylish" as what is possible in vbulletin advanced WYSIWYG editor you have to learn quite a lot of mediawiki markup and still looking the markup"code" makes most of people head ache and think that this is something really from dawn of word processing
Letīs face it, Wiki is hidden, appropriate link to it would be _right_ in the main-bar not under community and then from list small link "use wiki"
Something else?
Major obstacles on reading maemo.org Wiki
Searching from it isn't entirely obvious, we have search field in upper right part of page and itīs quite different on different pages. IMO from all search pages the hands down best currently to me is power search (powered by google) with itīs filtering tabs for different areas. Search should be consistent on layout across whole maemo.org/TMO. It should also give option to search from different areas after search is done. e.g. wiki search does this and power search but then again layout differs and thatīs not good.
Itīs hidden, look above list
Something else?
Wiki editing incentives
We have karma, but to most (just stuff out of my hat) _TMO_ user it doesnīt mean anything! We should have trophies on different levels for karma and different types of karma(from where the most karma points are collected) e.g. Talk Maemo Champion, Wiki Wizard. Community could point these users and council would give these trophies. And this trophy should be shown besides user-name, of course with user option to disable it.^
As funny or lame as it sounds but little things like maemo.org/meego t-shirts. caps etc. stuff that is designed by community could be some awards on "Good job done on wiki editing" Some funny notations on back side etc.
Something else?
Should we make brainstorm about this. Sad thing about those are that people tend to be highly excited about inventing and discussing changes and ideas first, but when it comes to execution of chosen idea things tend go halt (even saying NO or just I need help from assignee is hard) and that is just poison that makes everybody passive and currently our brainstorm system is just nice concept. IMO right from beginning of brainstorming there should be assignee who is directly responsible of things under discussion.
^Personal Rant to all those "But there is a flawwww in there" types:Please remember that there is always I mean always downside of these things but point is to make system that makes more good than bad.
