Current Content

Difficult to determine what was the latest activity of the WG when viewing the wiki page of a WG, especially for observers.

 

There should be a "latest updates" section on the main wiki page of a WG.


Confluence wiki supports the concept of "Labels". Labels are user-defined tag words assigned to pages to categorise content in Confluence.

Given labels are user defined and the importance of consistency,

  • there should be a wiki page for labels used by At-Large documenting all the labels used.
  • Each Working Group should have its own label.


With Labels, confluence macros to show activity changes by label could be used.




 

 

Many pages have page IDs Instead of meaningful titles names. This is due to the title of the page having special characters, See https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Confluence+Page+URL's+Contain+pageId+Instead+of+The+Page+Title

Titles should not have special characters
: @ / \ | ^ # ; [ ] { } < > 
or $ & + , / : ; = ? @
 

 

 

Consistency

Inconsistency regarding workspaces - some are child pages under the WG page and some are put under the At-Large Workspaces "Space"

 

This can be solved by an editor to comb through materials and create a logical heirarchy of topics which branch off

 

Clarity

Unclear rationale for use of separate "Documents" and "Resources", especially for those WGs  with workspaces

 

 

Make the scope of a working group at top and centre of each document so that feature creep doesn't set in.

 
   
   
   
   
   
   

Reporting


Lack of short and concise update reports to the monthly RALO meetings providing feedback to the membership

 

Each working group member can fill out a short standardized form on the various working groups. Suggest creation of a short report, ie. number of meetings, resolutions,

 

Interconnectivity

The 'silos' of the working groups appear to be divorced from other interconnected working groups.

Working Groups need to have a reality check in checking with WG on Metrics, Transparency, Outreach etc to make sure that their deliverables can be quantified and measured.

 

Gaps or Vacancies

The missing in action volunteers makes groups ineffective and dyfunctional

 

A reward system needs to be implemented to compensate those that are in attendance and active in WG
