- The slides actually presented: Update on Some Internal U.S. Government MediaWikis
Outline planning edit
One slide each:
- Monthly Enterprise MediWiki meetings -- we invite more participation
- Diplopedia - explanation, growth/change? update en.wp if possible
- characterize sponsors and users and usage of each of these, if possible
- Intellipedia (Peter needs to request update, Wired from 2017, update en.wp if possible)
- Powerpedia - update, platform, templates, usage?
- Statipedia RIP; backups, FOIA, some follow-on experiments at eedi
- New: ITA wiki, NRC wiki starting up(more from its sponsors in lightning talks)
- many other examples, e.g. DOL's
- Gcpedia update? No
- NITRD wiki -- OSTP/NITRD -- a range of interagency computing discussions, e.g. SPSQ, CSIA topics
- Related efforts
- Wikimedians in Residence, e.g.: at Smithsonian Natural History, NARA, CDC/NIOSH -- this contributes to the basic knowledge needed to get along on wikis which are really different from other federal platforms
- code.gov -- no mediawiki projects yet but there's an ongoing effort to get US govt source code into the open-source mainstream
- FCP CCS -- crowdsourcing discussions (crowdsourcing.gov? find platform)
- something about VPAT effort? Clarifying differences with SharePoint wiki? Not time to include this
- consider updating, drawing from, and avoiding duplication with my 2016 presentation on this
