Hi Gerald,

I have already written on the project page (http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Sandbox_Server#Root) that I would be a “general” root (not only for a project). Under “general” root I mean someone who configs the server, create user, add new project and so on.

Best regards,

Jan

Hi Cormac,

2010/5/14 Cormac Lawler <cormaggio@gmail.com>

Has Jan not offered to take the lead on the Mediawiki project? (http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Sandbox_Server/Project/MediaWiki) A question that comes to mind here: if, say, Leigh and Jan were both willing to take the lead on this project, would it be possible to have two root admins for an individual project?

I think we can have multiple people on a project, but there should be one "leader". To keep things flexible, the leader doesn't have to be technical, but the project should have a tech person of some kind. I'd prefer to deal with one (or possibly 2) people per project, but we can keep this informal for now and see how it goes.

I'm not sure MediaWiki needs "root", although I do want another admin with root. Projects should have ability to have full access to what they need, but not all projects will require full root to have complete access.

All that said, I haven't read all of the subpages and proposals in detail, so I didn't realize that Leigh's request was similar to Jan. If they want to work together on the same install, have two installs they manage together or two separate installs -- they are all possibilities.

I'd also like to say, it's great to see you again Gerald. Thanks so much for joining in here with such enthusiasm. :-)

Nice to see you again too, Cormac.

Well, the original Sandbox Server was something I lobbied a lot for. I still believe in the concept, and I'd like to see it work, as I do see the far-reaching benefits.

Thanks,

Gerald.
