Hi,
If we are talking about billing, I would say that cheapest way is to
rent a
server for one or 2 years. So would it be a
problem for WMDE to offer us
support for one year?
Can you show me the different offers? How much cheaper would it be to rent
for 1
year in advance, or even for 2?
Again, this is for Pavel to decide, but the larget the advance commitment,
the
greater the reluctance. I imagine that this would get easier once we see
the
project actually taking off. We have, err, mixed experiences with this
kind of
thing.
Also to send a reports every 3 month means the
reports
will be very simillar.
No problem. The point of the reports is to track activity and progress. We
are
liable to our donors, we have to document that we kame good use of the
money the
give us.
And one more comment from me. If I analyze
conditions: *The server hosts
only
projects, software, etc. which are for the
Wikimedia community - hope
that
WMDE understand, that Wikiversity is a place to
host different
communities of
learners and teachers. It means, there might be
group of students from
different schools etc. using Wikiversity to fulfill their real life
education
goals within our projects. So my question would
be if these are
understand
as Wikimedia community and if they can also
operate on SS?
Heh, more policy questions - I'm the tech guy :P AS far as I understand,
it
would be fine to do anything there that is compatible with the goals and
mission
of wikimedia in general and wikiversity specifically. So, I suppose the
projects
should revolve about sharing knowledge, i.e. free content and open access.
But
they don't have to be limited to the actual wiki community.
basically, this requirement is to make sure that folks don't run a quake
server
or a spam relay there. So, how about this:
You come up with a mission statment and general rules for projects, and
WMDE
signs off on it.
o Our ideas for the next three months (which
extensions, software, etc.
should be develop, which software should test, etc.) - this might be
hard to
say, but as I commented before, Wikiversity core
community is quite
small. So
every 3 month the report will be very similar.
And if well stay with
the
original idea that SS is open to all Wikiversity
participants in all
languages with some core administrators, I think it might be difficult
to
say, what for example is this or that person
planning to deploy next
month.
Well, it should be possible to come up with a plan. If you don't have any
idea
what you want to do, why start? So I suppose you do have some ideas. Just
write
them down!
It's not a requirement that you stick to the plan. We just want to know
what you
want to do, and what is actually happening. That's all. If the report is
very
similar every time - well, I'd hope that there's at least some progress in
development and deployment, maybe some figures like number of users, of
tools,
of page views, etc.
The report doesn't need to be entertaining, boring is fine with us :)
