Wiki Gardening Chat

[Ken MacLeod <ken@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is the announcement for the first of hopefully many scheduled
topic chat events.

  Wiki Gardening

  Thursday, August 7, 2003 at 15:30Z on #echo at irc.freenode.net
  for 90 minutes, then as participation permits

  Coordinator: Ken MacLeod

  The topic of this chat is to begin the effort of organizing and
  refactoring the wiki.

  The goals will be to prioritize specific refactorings, identify
  potential organizational techniques, and perform more significant
  refactorings with reviewers available for immediate sanity checks.

  Of the specific refactorings, some will be highlighted as
  suggestions for general and ongoing refactoring of the wiki, to be
  used whenever anyone is wiki gardening.

  Further details and suggestions can be added to the wiki at

    http://intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/WikiGardening

Just to be clear, wiki gardening happens all the time.  The purpose of
a scheduled chat is to focus on specific refactoring goals,
particularly those where individuals may feel uncomfortable making
larger refactorings.

This chat is not a technical event.  Hopefully technical chat events
will also soon be appearing.  Keep an eye out on the FrontPage and
this mailing list for future chats.
