[Celinux-dev] RFC - Embedded Wiki policies

[Tim Bird]

Hi all,

If you are interested in CELF's new embedded wiki project, read on!

Work is progressing on the project.
A CELF member, Movial, has offered to host the site.
CELF has hired Bill Traynor to be a site editor.

A task force of interested parties (mostly CELF members) is working
on developing a policy guide for the site.  I'm opening up some of
our discussion here so if you have an opinion you can provide feedback
to us.  If you want to join the task force (to be involved in conference
calls or more direct e-mails), please let me know.

Here are some issues being discussed:

 * What license should be used for site material?

 * What material should be on the Embedded Linux Wiki, versus
 Wikipedia or other sites?

 * Should anonymous contributions be allowed?

 * The general preference seems to be to use MediaWiki as the wiki engine.
Are there strong reasons to use something else?

 * What types of pages should be in the site?

 * What should the organization of the site be? (Basically, should there be
 a top-down index like Yahoo, or just a flat structure like Wikipedia?)

 * What, if any, "current info" should be kept?

Any comments?

Thanks,
 -- Tim
