Some topical issues {and their resolution if applicable}:
- Copyright and Disclaimer statements
- Requirements of GNU General Public License (GPL)
- Retention policy
- Configuration
- Should the hashing mode for placement of uploaded files be used? (see also "File Folders" below)
- Should uploaded files be placed in file folders according to the user's specification?
- TigerWeb versus TigerWebs
- "TigerWeb"
- Allows searching across all projects; avoids added administration costs.
- What name and logo would be suitable for a university-wide installation?
- Where would it be hosted? ( tigerweb.princeton.edu ? www.princeton.edu/tigerweb ?)
- TigerWeb and TigerCub
- e.g. TigerWeb for public-read; TigerCub for multiple "private" projects
- TigerCub Farm (multiple TigerCubs)
- Each TigerCub has its own "look and feel"
- "TigerWeb"
- Namespace and Access Rights
- Are Princeton: Course: Project: sufficient?
- This question is about access rights, not categories.
- read-access for Project:
- Does it matter that the search results will reveal results even in namespaces that the logged in user cannot otherwise access?
- Are Princeton: Course: Project: sufficient?
- What restrictions on uploading by filetype should there be? E.g. .wav?
- List of bookstores ($wgBookstoreListEn) visible from Special pages>Book sources>Go
Under Investigation
- Allow raw HTML?
- addfirstcategorydate=true bug? in DPL
- http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LDAP_Authentication
- Uploading files into namespaces other than Image:
- Bulk uploading without uploading files through the GUI
Resolved
- In general, content-based access restrictions are antithetical to the performance objectives of QED because of the cacheing strategies that are used. Mechanisms for restricting access control, by contrast, can readily be defined on namespaces, on folders and by category.
- Q: What is the location of the Dublin Core Category:Service within CRM?
- A: The position of Category:Service within the CIDOC/CRM is based on the Dublin Core statement that "Examples of a Creator include a person, an organisation, or a service."
- Q: Should the IP address of anon users be shown?
- A: No.
- How can dead links to external sites be resolved?
- A: Anyone can run maintenance/linkrot.php; see QED:Admin regarding the detection of linkrot due to transclusion.
