QtCS2017 WikiMaintenance

Session notes for wiki.qt.io session at Qt Contributors' Summit 2017.

Topics:

• Changes needed
• Moderation
• Tagging and categories
• ??

Current situation:

• First page is nice
• Release team does a good job with their pages
• User content tends to rot and needs cleanup
• User content looks like official post so their might be confusion like platform officially supported MinGW VS MinGW64
• Spam onslaught happened and there's need for more control is needed
• Moderation plugin is active
• Working through all the documents would take at least a year

Possible actions

• Improve edit queues (more people in it)
• Have maintainers to do quick reviews
• Tag pages for knowingly be old/outdated (maybe after six months)
• Somehow mark officially edit pages (e.g. Qt Release Team) VS user edit content
• Enable only english ? Most of the other languages might not be reviewable

Things that we can do

• Setup a mailing list for maintainers
