Future of guadec.org / splitting of live.gnome.org

["Thilo Pfennig" <tpfennig gmail com>]

I also posted to the guadec.org site but I better also post this here:
What is the future of the guadec.org site? I guess it will rather not
switch also to Plone till 2007?

I want to volunteer to help switch the content to GUADEC 2007.

I also post a bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370738 for
having a wiki wiki.guadec.org. MoinMoin makes it very easy to have
many wikis with shared user data.

I think GUADEC is an event that could use an own wiki with own
categories and that it rather "polutes" the main wiki. I suggest we do
this before preparations of GUADEC 2007 really begin. Linking between
contents of both wikis could be easy (see bug).

You can theoretically have up to 100 wikis in one config with shared
user data. What is also nice is that you can have different plugins or
react differently on problems with high load in one wiki, while the
other has the normal configuration. And if GUADEC wiki is not online
due to settings changes or maintance LGO will still be online (and the
other way round).

Theoretically I think it is a good way to have more than one wiki,
because a big wiki tends to  loose the focus and so many things are
changing in RecentChanges that people who concentrate on one task are
not able to follow the changes they are interested in.

To the sceptics: True, lets not split the wiki in small pieces, this
would also be bad. But I think every wiki has an optimal size. This is
especially true for very differents teams and tasks in an organisation
like GNOME.
