Thread:Wiki venue: How about WikiEducator? (2)

Decision

Yes - do it.


 * Heinz was keen to move during the event and be relieved of managing the wiki and associated issues (spam, software updates and re-configuration, screening applications to join, monitoring undesired edits, etc.) - our bright participants wont mind registering on yet another wiki and picking up from there. However, after bouncing the idea off a few participants the consensus was not to make the change in mid-stream and rather wait until after the event.
 * In retrospect, I think they were right - convincing everyone to use the new one and maintaining and synchronising two wikis during the event would have been difficult (keeping one up-to-date with our dynamic space-time matrix was quite enough work :-).

Implications

Participants should create user names on WikiEducator which match their user names on the JavaSpecialists wiki. If that user name is taken (e.g. joao ) then a new name must be created and used instead, and the relevant links corrected. For this reason, on WikiEducator I have unlinked all user names if the user page does not exist on WikiEducator.
