ICANNWiki:ICANNWiki Development

This meta space for ICANNWiki Development is aimed at coordinating tasks between different developers and contributors. It is not intended to be directly edited by the broader public, but all users are encouraged to follow it and provide input to the plans laid out here.

Backend development

Task	Description	Status	Owner
Extend user session login	Accounts get logged out even upon electing to keep the session logged in. This limits user engagement and should be fixed.	Prioritary	User:MarkAHershberger
Update backend to latest MediaWiki version	Get the wiki to version 1.41/1.42 (May 2024) in order to benefit from updated resources, such as new API calls, modernized skins, and bug fixes.	Not started	User:MarkAHershberger
Enable in-wiki playback of audio and video files	Incorporating more robust multimedia resources moving forward will allow us to better integrate resources that are being underutilized at the moment, including a significant amount of videos already generated by ICANNWiki.	Not started	User:MarkAHershberger

Content development

Task	Description	Status	Owner
Toolset for content analysis	Set of Python tools to enable better understanding of the wiki's structure, existing content, gaps, and other useful metrics.	Ongoing	User:Christiane & User:Markwd
Content plan	Content plan to steer the community in a clear direction based on the identified needs of the wiki.	Ongoing	User:Christiane
Redesign main page	Redefine the purpose of the main page and ensure that it reflects the goals of the content plan.	Not started	User:Markwd & User:Christiane & User:Ray
Rethink logo	The proportions of the current logo are arbitrary and make it difficult to integrate into layouts that expect wide or square aspects. A study needs to be carried out to define potential modernized looks.	Not started	User:Markwd & User:Ray
