ProleWiki:Governance

From ProleWiki, the proletarian encyclopedia
Revision as of 09:11, 20 December 2022 by Forte (talk | contribs) (→‎Recruitment division: Better description)

This page is for listing our comrades who are currently managing our wiki development, as well as those who have skills who can be useful for future site administration. If you'd like to contribute to development, you can add yourself as a candidate in the discussion page.

Active administrators and divisions

Since the project is still small, current administrators are elected through a martial meritocratic system. If you have shown an effort in the developing the project selflessly and you're usually active and respectful with others, you'll be eventually able to contribute with administrative work if you're elected by active editors. Current administrators are founders of ProleWiki:

  • Forte - slightly technical user, conceived and founded ProleWiki in 2020, has made prolific edits
  • CriticalResist - non-technical user, ProleWiki co-founder, set up and manages the ProleWiki Discord server

Agitprop division

Comrades who work in agitprop contribute to bourgeois social media work by posting, suggesting and commenting on posts, discussing and proposing directions towards improving this work. Work usually done on Twitter and TikTok. Currently, comrades are selected to this task based on interest, with no elections on the role. Current comrades on this task are:

Recruitment division

Comrades working in recruitment discuss the incoming requests of people joining ProleWiki. They are usually trusted editors who have contributed with prolific editing in the project. They are given the "delegate" role. There was a small election filling two members into this role. Current comrades in this division are:

Tech stack

  • Software: MediaWiki
  • Hosting: Terrahost (see more details on the donate page)
  • Domain registrar: Namecheap

Right now, site uptime relies on the skills of our technical contributors. In the future, we'd like to explore tech stacks which can improve our resilience if any of our technical contributors were unable to fulfill their roles for whatever reason. Suggestions about how to achieve this are welcomed in the discussion page as well.

Ongoing projects

Agitprop

  • Develop scripts and videos for ProleWiki's TikTok

Development roadmap

Long term

  • Add Site backup page to encourage users to download backups themselves in the unfortunate event that ProleWiki is somehow taken down
  • Find a way to populate lists with various data parameters using WikiBase
  • Develop mobile app for ProleWiki for readers and editors
