* '''CONTENT''' - Once we get a general idea of the categories we can start adding content to the website. At this point it would be great to invite other scholars and people who might be able to help with the initial starting content. We will need people who are interested in overseeing content that is added and keeping an eye on things as a whole.

* '''LANGUAGE OPTIONS''' - It would be good to investigate setting up other languages (Punjabi/Gurmukhi) at least as an option so that Gurbani can be inserted easily into the English pages and used wherever needed. It might be a later project to actually have a whole separate section of SikhiWiki in Punjabi.

Thank you for your help Sukh. With Sukh's help we setup "Punjabi" as a language option ([[Special:Preferences|Preference then Interface Language]]). He is also going to create a "How To" setup your computer to be able to type Punjabi/Gurmukhi which can be used for entering content into SikhWiki

Task and To-dos for Building SikhiWiki

SikhiWiki is just being developed and we need your help to actually brainstorm and organizing the website. Feel free to add to this list or just comment. Click on the "Edit" or "Edit this page" at the top to give your input. Please also add your signature (if you are registered) by clicking on the "signature" button above the edit box so that as people add comments we know who is who. --gmustuk 10:45, 25 Feb 2005 (Pacific Standard Time)

Content & Editorial

  • CATEGORIES - Ideas needed for coming up with a Hierarchy of Categories for organizing the topics. Some people will do searches...but we want to have a browseable category list (with subcategories) so that people can go through the articles without having something specific in mind.
  • CONTENT - Once we get a general idea of the categories we can start adding content to the website. At this point it would be great to invite other scholars and people who might be able to help with the initial starting content. We will need people who are interested in overseeing content that is added and keeping an eye on things as a whole.

  • LANGUAGE OPTIONS - It would be good to investigate setting up other languages (Punjabi/Gurmukhi) at least as an option so that Gurbani can be inserted easily into the English pages and used wherever needed. It might be a later project to actually have a whole separate section of SikhiWiki in Punjabi.

I didn't personally do the translation, but I'm making sure it's included in the CVS. If you need any help with this project please don't hesitate to give me a shout. I give general support on the PCRC forum. Sukh 07:03, 2 Mar 2005 (Pacific Standard Time)

Thank you for your help Sukh. With Sukh's help we setup "Punjabi" as a language option (Preference then Interface Language). He is also going to create a "How To" setup your computer to be able to type Punjabi/Gurmukhi which can be used for entering content into SikhWiki



Some resources I found that might help with this
  • MODERATORS - Find and setup list of individuals that are committed to this project and willing to spend time adding content and reviewing content that others add.

System Related

  • NEWS - Investigate setting up RSS Sikhism news feed on Main Page. You can't use javascript or standard HTML so this would have to be done somehow on the backend.
  • SPEED & PERFORMANCE - Setup and test various caching methods. [1]
  • DATA BACKUP - Setup automated system for doing daily backups of the MySQL database.
  • DOMAIN NAME - Move domain SikhiWiki.com to this server.
