[WikiToLearn] R: WikiToLearn Digest, Vol 8, Issue 8

[riccardo gilardi]

One question: Why should only new users  work so? Why not everybody, in order to have equality?

And, about the knowledge of everyone else work: Users should note the work they do in their personal page in the discussion page of the course in order to let anyone Know what is being written.

Hey everyone,

a few weeks ago we had a mini sprint (this is how we call small
meetings) where we discussed about the model of a user journey. We've
kept focused on a new User and his first interaction with the website.
We came up with a UX similar to github, where every user has its own
page and can write his content on that page.

This could be a great change in the, so I personally invite everyone
of you to read this page:
http://meta.wikitolearn.org/User:Grigoletti/New_User_Journey

The page is just a draft, and I will suggest you not to focus on the
layout or on the content but just on the idea. Try to see if
everything is clear and discuss about the problem as the advantages of
having a structure like this.

Bye

To me, this looks exciting. How often have you had an idea, are full
of enthusiasm, but then it all drains away in getting all the
prerequisites set up? This lets the new person begin their work
immediately, and get that white-hot creativity on the page, NOW.

The Cons are important too, especially fragmentation. But good editors
will see this and gently guide the authors to work together.

Since this is mostly about content, I think the section editor etc. is
not as important. You want to guide the new contributor to the
already-existing or at least already-started pages/books, and begin
fixing/improving/writing, all under the supervision of editors who
know their mediawiki/wiki2learn styling and tools, and also the
subject matter, at least enough to detect fragmentation.

All in all, a really cool development in the growth of W2L. Thank you Gianluca!
