The Details
So what exactly is the MAG doing? Well, generally speaking, making maemowiki awesome by acting as a centralized organization point for all work on the maemowiki.
More specifically, we've got a number of tasks to take care of.
First and foremost, we've got to get the
midgard migration
completed. This involves a number of things. As articles are brought over from the midgard wiki, they need to be tagged and categorized. Most of this is already being taken care of as part of the article moving process by dneary. Once the articles are actually moved to the new wiki, they can be found in the
Midgard wiki category
, this is where any interested parties should go to find articles that need working on. Each article will need several things done to it to bring it up to speed with the new wiki.
Titles need to be changed to fit with the mediawiki style and appropriate articles should be merged together.
The syntax needs to be brought up with speed with mediawiki. Lists need to be lists (# not 1.,2.,etc.), links need to be properly named and formated, code boxes should be correctly set up, headers need to be correctly nested and named.
Content needs to be updated for spelling, grammar, and technical accuracy. A lot of the articles are 770-specific and/or don't include information about easier GUI methods (like, say, for USB networking) and these need to be updated.
After an article has been brought completely up to speed (you may want to get a second opinion on this), the midgard wiki tag should be deleted from the top of the page.
Second, we need to set up a uniform system of templates to ease wiki organization and management. If you see a need for a template, you should pretty much feel free to add it, but be sure to document the intended usage (where it goes, what it's for, what parameters it uses, etc—will add a template for this soon) and add it to the Template category.
Finally, we need to work out a categorization system and make sure the correct articles end up in the proper categories (articles can be in more than one category). dneary is working on a lot of this here, but help in categorizing articles would be much appreciated.
