Hi Bill, |
|||
What happened to the [[Arrowsreach]] [[Wiki]]? I'm surprised you aren't doing all this page-of-links and festival planning on it, rather than an [[Cunnan:What isn't Cunnan?|summary-style]] wiki like [[Cunnan]]. |

I thought that by creating Arrowsreach centric wiki pages on [[Cunnan]] that cross references into other pages on Cunnan I would be able to encourage more of our members to use and contribute to Cunnan as a whole. For example, I am amazed that Mistress Margie has not been introduced to Cunnan as she would be an avid user if she could get over her initial fear for the complex and arcane computer arts. Cunnan is also incredably handy and useful, and I can see such "group centric" use increasing as more and more people find out about it, at that point we should create a seperate category for Lochac group pages rather than splitting it off into a seperate wiki. --[[User:MasterWill|MasterWill]] 00:26, 21 Mar 2006 (CST) |

This is adresses to everyone in general: |
|||
Is it possible to have a subwiki? What I'm thinking is a change in page colour, indicating that certain content related to a limited group, and a small automated disclaimer, that not all the info on such pages will be totally intellegible to people outside the group. The Krae Glas hall hire directory (happy to make it the melbourne hall hire directory if we got entries) seems one such thing to me, and st monicas occasionally has such things (eg festival planning), although it is easier with our smaller group to get people to read emails, than visit a wiki. |
|||
Maybe technically, I'm talking a second wiki, but one open to all lochac groups, that uses the same software as cunnan, and meshes seamlessly with it? It is one of the constant conflicts we have, and I too would like to have somewhere I don't feel worried about havign the two concepts of useage warring against each other. |

* This is sort of why I wrote to you Will. [[Cunnan]] has pages that supposedly define its purpose (i.e. [[Cunnan:What isn't Cunnan?]], [[Cunnan:What is Cunnan?]]) but I suspect they were written a while ago by the [[College of St Monica|St Monicans]] who set Cunnan up. However, the "rules" have been pretty well followed so far. The regular editors have been trying hard to [[Cunnan:Regional_point_of_view|delocalise]] the content of the entries, and not limit them to solely [[SCA]] details. The one exception has been the [[KraeGlas hall hire]] directory, but since that was written by Monicans and their locals, it is easy to ignore. |
|||
:IIRC it was previously decided that Cunnan's pages weren't going to be substitute webpages for branches, nor was Cunnan going to be a repository for documents like newsletters, manuals etc. The servers have shifted from St Mon's to [[Del]]'s machines. |
|||
:While I think its great that you are encouraging Arrowreachians to use and contribute to Cunnan (especially Margie.... we need stuff on period [[theatre]] added), I am just worried that the recent edits will set a precedent that contradicts the existing norms. Tiff's idea is good. Having a distinctly separate area for SCA (and other groups) to have their own pages with their own styles would be better, but I fear that it will hard to manage as the server may not have the resources, and it will be harder for [[special:Listadmins|us]] to moderate. A separate wiki for [[Lochac]] [[groups]] might be the best way to go on that. |

:Having a second "area" within one wiki would be tricky the software we're using really isn't setup to handle that. What ''might'' be an option is to have a second wiki, a Lochac wiki, setup. Someone would need to ask Del, it's his server. A couple of changes to the interwiki link scheme and we'd have <nowiki>[[Lochac:some page]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[Cunnan:some page]]</nowiki> working to "pass" users between the two. |
|||
:I'm not volunteering to approach Del about this but I'd support and help anyone who did. |
