So, it'll most likely be left untouched or unmaintained, by anyone. I just mention this because at our recent staff summit we did a survey and everyone agreed that the wiki isn't the primary spot where we work. We're actually even considering making the wiki internal because it's not fruitful for anyone outside of the internal community. So..don't expect much to happen with that wiki space. -Sarah -- *Sarah Stierch* */Museumist and open culture advocate/*

(Quick comment - cannot engage in the discussion now) Fae, thanks for moving this page! I agree with this. Sarah, I'll be using OKFN wiki, which I've been using since 2011, for organize the bylaw, board and advisory board. Let's discuss this on the OKFN channels later, it's a pity I could not go to Cambridge this year to strongly oppose that. I don't think we (OKFN) should have an internal wiki (!) and/or close it. If OKFN stops using its wiki or closes it (I hope we don't!), we should move the page I started with Kat to meta.

There isn't a security concern, just not many people use it, and if we have something that isn't being used, it might not make much sense to hold onto it as an "asset" per se. (IMHO) Sure, we could let it sit there and rot, but, that's not really of interest to the organization, perhaps. The only people who are generally using it is a small group of staff and volunteers. Most of our staff members and community members are not wiki-users, therefore it also might not be the most comfortable space for them to be productive and work. If no one is really using the space for workflow, then there really isn't much loss associated with it. Don't get me wrong - I'm a Wikipedian and I use the wiki. But, this isn't really the conversation to be having this. If people are concerned I suppose they can stop by the OKF mailing list and voice some concern about it. Or...the wiki! Heh! -Sarah -- *Sarah Stierch* */Museumist and open culture advocate/*
