WikiSpace:Jasmine legacy

From Croquet Consortium

Jump to: navigation, search

Much of the content on this wiki is left over from Jasmine. This is especially true on the FAQs and Active_Projects pages, but others as well. The items that are referenced may or may not be updated for Hedgehog at some point, although obviously this wiki needs to be kept up to date. Some of the contributions for Jasmine are very important, and I would not want to see this older wiki content just go away. Maybe delineating the version of Croquet is more a technical concern, and I certainly understand the value of a polished visual appearance.

So how should Jasmine-related wiki content be dealt with?

Here are some ideas:

  1. Tag each Jasmine page or item with "Jasmine" at the bottom of the page/item. Then move all the Jasmine pages/items to an archive area in the wiki.
  2. Tag everything with the relevant release, similar to Mantis (e.g. "All", "Jasmine", "Hedgehog"). There should be a legend or key to the releases somewhere too. Maybe a "Being upgraded for Hedgehog" kind of tag. Note: Does MediaWiki have some kind of tagging or page meta-information facility that can be used for this?
  3. Do one of the above only in certain sections of the wiki (e.g. not the main page or basic FAQs).
  4. Just reference the older wiki at GA Tech [1] for Jasmine content. This is a bad idea as that wiki could go away at any time.
  5. Use the "interim" wiki at UWM [2] for Jasmine content and this one for current content. Speaking of which, there is already some content on the UWM wiki that is newer than what is here. That should probably be updated here too.
  6. Just delete older content and rely on the wiki's page history as an archive. I don't really like this idea because I don't believe page histories are searchable.

And what should be the "standard" way of naming the releases for item/article/page tags? Jasmine and Hedgehog, 0.1 and 1.0, pre-SDK and SDK Beta?

___

  • Maybe just a "Jasmine" logo button that takes the visitor to the Jasmine download.
  • Then a "Current Compatible" logo button for the current images linking to the current (Hedgehog, whatever's next) download.
  • And a "Custom" logo button for the independent standalone images.
