TechWiki:Community portal

2012-04-30T17:08:39Z

Scgallafent: /* Pages needing to be deleted? */ Remove Child Protection Act Project from the list - See discussion on CPAS talk page for additional info

The '''Community Portal''' is the central place to find out what's happening on the [[Main_Page | LDSTech Wiki]] (see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_portal Community Portal] on [[Wikipedia:Main_Page|Wikipedia]] for a model). Learn what tasks need to be done, or get or post news about recent events or current activities. If you think something should be done, add it to the lists here, even if you don't have the time or expertise to create the content yourself.

== April tasks ==
The following pages need attention. Let's go through and complete these tasks during the month of April.

===Copyediting===

===Pages needing to be deleted?===
* The following pages need to be evaluated as to whether they still have current information. None of them is an active project. If the information is outdated, the pages should be deleted:
** '''[[Bishopric Scheduler]]'''
** '''[[Connect Project]]'''
** '''[[Digital Investigator Management]]'''
** '''[[EBuilder Application]]'''
** '''[[Church headquarters heat map tool]]'''
** '''[[LDS Profile]]'''
** '''[[Search Engine optimization project]]'''
** '''[[New Zealand Financial CSV Conversion Project]]'''
** '''[[Mobile Water App]]'''
** '''[[Missionary Network]]'''

If the page should be deleted, add the <nowiki>{{delete|reason}}</nowiki> tag to the page, replacing the word "reason" with an explanation of why the page should be deleted. (Only admins can delete pages, but others can indicate that the page should be deleted.)

===Content improvement===

Let's edit the 10 most popular pages on the wiki to make them better. According to [[Special:Statistics]], these pages receive the most visits on the wiki. Go through and copyedit the content to improve it.

* '''[[Main Page]]''' - 462,500
* '''[[LDS Maps help/en]]''' - 175,695
* '''[[Calendar]]''' - 145,677
* '''[[Meetinghouse technology]]''' - 131,872
* '''[[Clerks]]''' - 101,360
* '''[[Gospel Library for Android]]''' - 83,222
* '''[[Gospel Library for eBooks]]''' - 69,413
* '''[[LDSTech Service Days]]''' - 67,655
* '''[[LDS Tools for iPhone - Known Issues]]''' - 64,246
* '''[[Gospel Library for BlackBerry installing binaries]]''' - 60,209

===Portals needed===
We currently have six portals on the [[Main Page]]. We should add a portal page for the following:

'''[[Mobile portal|Mobile applications]]'''
:[[User:Spankston|Spankston]] 20:05, 30 March 2012 (UTC) is working on this.

'''[[Stake technology specialists]]'''

'''[[Website administrators]]'''

'''[[Project managers]]'''

'''[[Volunteers portal]]'''

Note that the callings group will probably be a sub-portal, such as "Browse by Calling."

=== General maintenance ===
As you edit pages, here are some ways to mark pages:

* '''Request''': If you have an idea for a helpful article or wiki feature, but don't have time or ability or inclination to create it, record the idea in [[LDSTech:New wiki content requests|new wiki content requests]].
* '''Wikify''': Follow the [[LDSTech:Guidelines|guidelines]] to make articles use links, headings, sources, templates, and categories in a standard way.
* '''Annotate''': Use templates to flag articles that need attention if you are unable to make the necessary changes.
** {{tl|Stub}} flags articles or sections that are incomplete and need to be expanded
** {{tl|Draft}} flags articles that are in a Draft stage and not approved as authoritative yet
** {{tl|Edit}} flags articles or sections that need to be rewritten
** {{tl|ToDo}} flags articles or sections that have tasks that need to be accomplished
** {{tl|Need Input}} flags articles or sections that are in need of input
** {{tl|Unresolved}} flags Talk Page discussions that are currently unresolved
** {{tl|Resolved}} flags Talk Page discussions that have been resolved
** {{tl|Under construction}} flags pages (for a brief time) pages that are undergoing major construction
* '''Create''': If there is a topic you think needs to be addressed, create a new article. If your page is related to a project, please follow the [[Development Project Guidelines]]. Also, a red link anywhere on this wiki indicates that someone thought an article ''should'' exist, but they didn't have the time or expertise to write it themselves. If you can, get that topic started by writing the first draft yourself. You can see the entire list of such articles at [[Special:Wantedpages]]; also see [[LDSTech:New wiki content requests|New wiki content requests]] for additional desired articles.
* '''Expand''': Some articles may be incomplete stubs which should be improved by fleshing out the content. You can see the entire list of such articles at [[:Category:Stubs]].
* '''Resource''': Add attachments or links to sample documents, spreadsheets, or templates that will add breadth and depth to the articles.
* '''Copyedit''': Fix grammar, punctuation, style to be more accurate, and in accordance with the [[LDSTech:Manual of Style|LDSTech Style Guide]].
* '''Source''': Although opinions and personal ideas can be helpful, statements purported to be official Church policy will be more effective if backed up from [[official sources]].
* '''See also''': Adding "See also" sections to the end of articles can improve navigation
* '''Add missing standard pages''': Several pages have standard links in the user interface of the wiki, but have not been written yet. These include:
** '''[[LDSTech:Copyrights]]''': Write/Edit this page, which is linked to from the Editing page that appears whenever you edit a page; this should briefly explain Public Domain, Fair Use, and improper use of copyrighted materials.
** '''[[Help:Editing]]''': Write/Edit this page, which is linked to from the Editing page that appears whenever you edit a page; this should give help with the actual editing process, and link to the [[Guidelines]] page and other helpful existing pages. Currently this simply redirects to [[Help:Contents]].
* '''User page''': Add your own [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:User_page user page] to give people some idea of your background and experience. A user page also gives you a place to create your own sandbox using [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages subpages].

=== Needs attention or action ===
For a list of pages needing discussion, input, or specific actions, review the following category pages:

:[[:Category:Need Input]]
:[[:Category:Help Needed]]
:[[:Category:ToDo]]
:[[:Category:Unresolved]]

=== Cleanup ===
For a list of pages needing cleanup, review the following category pages:

:[[:Category:Stubs]]
:[[:Category:Pages to be edited]]
:[[:Category:Drafts]]

== Guidelines, help, and resources ==
=== Guidelines ===
* Consult the [[LDSTech:Guidelines|Guidelines]] page so that the content you create can be consistent across the wiki.
* The [[LDSTech:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] provides guidelines for usage and spelling of Church-specific terms.

=== Help ===
[[Help:Contents]]: Flesh out this page which is linked to from the main navigation panel displayed to the left of every page, as well as from the Search Results page.

Scgallafent: /* Community Collaboration */ Add information on LDSTech Development VM

Any tasks or issues relating to any of the community tools found at tech.lds.org, such as Joomla, Forum, Wiki, Jira, or Subversion.
; '''Summary'''
; Project Lead : Tom DeForest
; Meeting Schedule
: Mon - Thurs, 9am (Daily stand-up)
: Fri, 9am (Open community)

==Purposes of tech.lds.org==
Many people know of the resources for ward clerks and technology specialists on tech.lds.org. The forum and wiki contain myriad conversations and a knowledge base for technology related ward and stake issues that cannot be found anywhere else. Tech.lds.org is an indispensable resource to those seeking technology support in their demanding and difficult callings.

Tech.lds.org also serves as an avenue to facilitate community participation in development of Church technology projects. The Church has many technology [[Community_Projects|projects]] to complete to meet the needs of an ever-growing, world-wide church. The Church seeks the help of the tech.lds.org community with this tremendous undertaking.

==Project Objectives==
The purpose of this project is to continue to improve the '''self-support''' services provided through tech.lds.org. It is also to expand the ability to '''partner''' with the tech.lds.org community on Church technology projects.

===Self-Support===
The '''forum and wiki''' are the tools for '''self-support''' on the site. The wiki provides a codified knowledge base for officially approved uses and scenarios for Church related technology. In the forum, users can post questions and get answers from other forum users. They can also search previous remarks from users. Problems that aren't answered in the wiki can be researched in the forum.

===Community Involvement===
The Church invites participants to review the list of [[Community_Projects|projects]] and '''volunteer''' where they have time and inclination.

==Community Collaboration==
Tech.lds.org provides a collection of tools, held together by glue and sawdust, to enable community collaboration.

===Issue Tracking===
'''JIRA''' is used to track issues on community projects. After joining a project users will have access to that project in JIRA.

===Source Control===
Tech.lds.org currently has source control available with Subversion ('''SVN'''). Git support may be added in the near future. Users have access to the source through the project page. Users do not automatically receive commit access to Subversion, but should contact a project manager to obtain access. Users can create JIRA issues and attach patches to those JIRA tickets.

===Skills Profile===
Users of tech.lds.org can identify which technologies they are comfortable with or interested in learning. This aids project managers in identifying people who will be able to contribute to their project. It is '''not necessary to fill out the skills profile''' to join projects.

===Projects===
The list of available community projects is visible to those who sign the '''contributor agreement'''. Projects are created by sponsors internal to The Church. Community members can join projects they are interested in and participate at a level they are comfortable with. After joining a project, users will be able to comment on and add JIRA tickets related to that project. They'll also be able to submit patches to the project through JIRA. Volunteers can leave a project at any time.

====Contributor Agreement====
Those willing to contribute to Church technology projects must sign the '''contributor license agreement''' before they will be able to start.

===Content Management===
'''Joomla''' is used to manage and maintain the site, the users and the projects.

===LDSTech Development Virtual Machine===
We have created a VirtualBox Appliance that contains functioning instances of the LDSTech web sites so that developers can get started quickly. There are additional details on the [[LDSTech Development Virtual Machine]] wiki page.
