View page history| h3. Internet Presence Working Group - 2010 Activity Report /// DRAFT /// |
| h4. Terms of Reference |
| The WG was established at the 2009 plenary with [the proposal|cimaWiki:CIMA Internet Presence Working Group^CIMA_internet_presence.pdf]: |
| * That CIMA tasks a working group to investigate the best way of achieving a better CIMA online presence, and gives it the authority to spend up to 250€ in establishing the initial site for delegates review and use. * If Delegates and FAI secretariat are happy with it, for it to be added to the FAI domain eg as _cima.fai.org_ |
... |
| h4. Activity |
| In line with the collaborative philosophy laid out in the [original proposal|cimaWiki:CIMA Internet Presence Working Group^CIMA_internet_presence.pdf], the following points were considered essential: |
| * A web application is a must. It is possible to access the information universally using a common browser from your laptop, phone, e-book... |
... |
| Preliminary tests of Confluence started 24/Nov for one month (evaluation license). * Learning how to use and administrate the system. |
| * Creating a fairly intuitive navigation system. |
| * Some spaces were created, like the main [CIMA space|CIMA] , including the who is who page. |
| * A list of the [past championships|cima:Championships - Past] was compiled, creating specific pages for some of them. |
| |
| The conclusion reached at the end of this evaluation was that Confluence met all the essential requirements, and more, for example the built-in menu system can be easily configured by individual users to be in French or German as an alternative to the English default. |
| h5. The quest for a free license After reading the Community License terms from Atlassian, it was expected that CIMA or FAI would qualify for a free license. It was agreed that FAI, as a larger organization should officially request the license. |
| * 17 Dec 2009 - FAI applied for a Community License, but it was rejected by Atlassian, FAI not being FAI a charitable organisation. |
| * 4 Jabn 2010 - The CIMA president sent a letter to Atlassian where one of the most important points was that all our work is made by volunteers and targeted to a wide audience. This time they accepted and the license was granted. |
| h5. Installation |
... |
| * A backup strategy was implemented. * 15 Mar 2010 - The wiki was added to the FAI domain as wiki.fai.org |
| * 12 April 2010 - the wiki is up and running with full 'production' status with all CIMA delegates loaded as users. |
| * 18 Mar 2010 - Google Analytics is configured to gather usage statistics. |
| * 12 April 2010 - the wiki is up and running with full 'production' status with all CIMA delegates loaded as users. |
| |
| h5. Authentication system |
| h5. Authentication and Authorisation |
| |
| The system is open, but the edition of documents must be done by known users so that documents can have a history of changes with reference to their authors. It is possible to create users one by one or to use an external user directory system like LDAP. |
| * 11 Apr 2010 - Individual accounts were created for all CIMA Delegates with known e-mail addresses, and the user information was sent to them. * If other commissions wish to use the wiki system they will have to wait until FAI has a centralised directory (LDAP). |
| * User groups have been created and an [authorisation policy|cima:About the CIMA wiki#CIMAwikipermissionpolicy] has been established so that each user will be able to view or edit certain pages.. |
| |
... |
| You can see all the CIMA spaces on the left column. They are intended for: |
| * Reporting from [CIMA Bureau|cimaBureau:CIMA Bureau home] |
| * Reporting from each subcommittee or working group * Reporting from the monitor of each upcoming event |
... |
| More recently, the following spaces have been frequently updated: |
| * [Championships info|cima:Championships - Past] |
| * [S10 proposals|cimaS10:Current proposals|cimaS10:2010 Proposals] |
| * [2010 Plenary|cimaPlenary2010:Plenary 2010 home] |
| * [2010 Plenary|cimaPlenaries:Plenary 2010] |
| |
| But the main advantage of a wiki system is that it is not one writing for many. It is many writing for many, so your contribution as delegates is necessary. The following content is especially needed: * [This Plenary|cimaPlenary2010:Documents and reports] \- Please load all your contributions (national reports, bids...) * [Calendar|cima:Calendar] \- Please include your events. * [Championships|cima:Championships] \- Please include any historical stuff you may have, especially in missing ones. * [Records|cimaBureau:World record corrections] \- Please correct missing details. * [Lost delegates|cima:Lost delegates] \- Some delegates don't have wiki logins because the email addresses registered with FAI bounce - can you help find these people? |
| As a summary, 16 spaces have been created, containing 123 pages. |
| |
| |
| h4. Conclusion of 2010 work |
... |
| * Continue with a remit to spend up to 250€ pa of CIMA funds on WG activities. |
| The WG wishes to send an important message to all CIMA Delegates: |
| |
| h5. Important message to all CIMA Delegates from the WG: |
| * The wiki will only begin to realize its full potential when all CIMA Delegates start creating and editing pages in the wiki. |
| The WG must establish with Secretariat a protocol for what content goes on the 'main' FAI website rather than the wiki. |
| The WG must establish with Secretariat a protocol for what content goes on the 'main' FAI website rather than the wiki bearing in mind that the main advantage of a wiki system is that it is not one writing for many; it is many writing for many, and your contribution as delegates is necessary. The following content is especially needed from you: * [This Plenary|cimaPlenaries:Plenary 2010] \- Please load all your contributions (national reports, bids...) * [Calendar|cima:Calendar] \- Please include your events. * [Championships|cima:Championships - Past] \- Please include any historical stuff you may have, especially in missing ones. * [Records|cimaBureau:World record corrections] \- Please correct missing details. * [Lost delegates|cima:Lost delegates] \- Some delegates don't have wiki logins because the email addresses registered with FAI bounce - can you help find these people? * Guidelines on championship websites. Purpose, minimum information required, conformation to FAI style requirements Etc. * Guidelines on championship intranets. Purpose, possibilities, recommended practice, technical as well as stylistic. * Advice on establishing and maintaining wi-fi systems and internet connections suitable for championship sites. As you can read in the [presentation page|cima:About the CIMA wiki] , *don't be scared to break it, you can't. Use it, magic follows.* |
