I desparately wanted to stay the hell away from phpbb for security reasons... but with apache mod_security and some chrooting I might be convinced to run a phpbb. It does have a plugin (mail2bb) that would allow us to potentially have a combined web forum and email list. Would forum posts email out to the list though, or at least to users who wanted such emailing? Lets look into it. http://www.forummatrix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=120

[Mickaboo Techlist] Wiki Questions
by stega 19 Mar '09

I was pointed here for this discussion. I have a bunch of small and large "changes" for the wiki. Some are simple content editing and revamps while others are procedural changes to better manage the day to day functioning of the wiki. I should probably explain: one of the sidelines of my job over the last few years has been as a wiki author, admin and social secretary. My forte is wiki procedures and structures for better wiki longevity. That means "keeping wiki's from becoming out-dated weedy messes that no one wants to use." So, what's the best way to run through my list of changes (I can sanitize my existing notes so they'll make sense to someone other myself) with the appropriate people? Most of the changes are non- structural meaning they do not affect the current Top-Down listings off the Dashboard, but a few need some community involvement and I'm unsure if the discuss@ list is where I should post to get people to help with the info gathering. The list is on the wiki (imagine that): https://confluence.mickaboo.org/display/ ~stega/Wiki+Notes Oh and "Hi". I'm stega (aka lc). /stega

Unfortunately tech team involvement is still necessary, since I haven't quite gotten the freeform OTRS "Send" to our lists 100% working. Just give me a day or twos' notice before you need it sent. -- Matt ============================== Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue "Don't buy, don't breed....... ADOPT!
