Add rest of the team
Current tasks
Now
- Revive newsletter and social teams, involve more people
- Plan A: let each team write about themselves, to get familiar with contributing
- Plan B: ?
- Better links to forum etc page refactor pages
“read others opinions” press, blog, listings- “communicate & participate” forum, mailing lists, irc, bug tracker
- “evaluate” features, factsheet, requirements, changes (leaflet)
- Add more to Facts about DokuWiki
- Continue getting inspired by TikiWiki Communications Team
Small stuff (one night )
- Update DokuWiki Newsletter page
- Fixup tourbusstop
- Make the DokuWiki Teams page more inviting and appealing, maybe add picture to “Joining a Team”
- Add links & text “express your happiness with DW, add positive reviews on …” to thanks
- Check if some listing could be improved
- Is DokuWiki “MAC friendly”? If so we should mention that somewhere…
Later
- Make changes to the
DokuWiki Users⇒ dokuinstall page as suggested in New User Page, could we add stats like http://s23.org/wikistats/ - Compile a list of notable DokuWiki installations, Mantis Bug Tracker Wiki etc
- Make/publish whitepaper about DokuWiki performance, is dokuwiki.org the largest installation?
- People who registers to the team mailing list should get a Welcome to the DokuWiki teams list
- Publish something about statistics Google inurl:doku.php
- Try to be nominated for an Open Source Award? The ones which come in mind: InfoWorld Bossie Awards or Packt Open Source Awards

Some thoughts about listings
Do something about
- Update information at Ostatic, hopelessly outdated (and bad rating)
- Try to update information at www.c2.com
- Update Freshmeat
- tags/os/translations etc, compare with tiki and confl.
-
- Page looks like crap
- Maybe request “DoFollow”
- Use their Home Page Analysis Summary (indicates www.dokuwiki.org can be improved)
Get listed on
- dmoz.org (url submitted Dec 2010), Open Directory Project is a large, human-edited directory of the Web.
Investigate
-
- Review of Alexa itself (or how to use the information) http://www.seobook.com/alexa-relevant-2010
Would http://cia.vc/ add something to the IRC experience?Done
Devel efforts improving popularity
This is some improvements that might make the first impression better
- Include more than one template, people want to try different looks easy
- “Every tick in the box” at WikiMatrix
