Wikidot is becoming more and more unreliable and unstable, and it has not gotten any updates for years now. This makes relocating to another platform inevitable on the long run, and as it isn't getting better with Wikidot, the earlier we finish it, the better. Of course we could just transfer to another Wiki-farm. But there the problems would not necessarily end, and of all Wiki-farms, Wikidot is one of the better choices, as others are full of advertisements or are having stricter regulations. So the possibly best solution would be to create an own platform.

Don't worry, the content and even votes can be transferred automatically. Also financial and legal questions will be settled in future steps. There are people who can and will program the new platform from scratch if necessary. It is also planned that all branches find a new home there. All is in good hands and this time it will be finished, thereof I am certain.

Currently there is no definite date or plans. And for the start, it would be beneficial to know what features we want to keep, and what features we want to have in the future. Therefore I ask all branches to conduct a survey to answer these questions for their branch.

These are the categories the ideas and wishes should be sorted into:

  • Articles (creation, writing, editing, tags, rating, other article-specific features)
  • Embeddables and code in Articles
  • Site Structure
  • User profiles
  • GUI
  • Forum
  • File handling
  • Cross-branch features
  • Administrative features regarding all of the above

How you get the information is up to you. You can ask your users, keep it among staff or dedicate one single user to answer the survey, just as you like. You may priorize wishes and ideas. Everything is allowed, you can add as many entries as you want. No idea is too weird. This basically is one big brainstorming and the ideas are being evaluated later.

This survey will actually run till the 31th March, though we may choose to prolong it. Anyway please give us an intermediate result on the 10th March.

Please use this thread to introduce yourself with a few words, and tell us what you are going to do here. I'll start:

Hi, I'm Dr_GromDr_Grom, 32 years old, an engineer, living in Germany (80 km beeline north-east of Cologne) and I'm the Master Administrator of the German branch.

I also am Master Administrator of the International Translation Archive. My job here will be to make sure the wiki is well maintained and everything works like it should and is in order, and will provide support to anyone in need.
I'll help to manage the german hub with the other German staff, and will provide some translations of DE-content.

Edit:// I forgot to tell you what I can help you with, which would be: Wikidot Syntax and -Magic, Graphic design, especially symbols and stuff, and managing stuff.
