Re: enhanced wikipedia page
by
Elico Corp, Eric Caudal
Hi
Tom it makes sense on the short term. A reputation though is to be built on the long term with multiple sources and efforts.
Still the right way to start

Subject: Re: enhanced wikipedia page
Hi all,
I think Eric's suggestion is very good for the long term, but:
1) Currently we don't even have a Wikipedia page, I think at least a small one is possible with the references we can muster now
2) Other Wikipedia pages eg. the one from Apache Foundation don't use any references to mainstream media, most are references to documents they host themselves. So I think Wikipedia is trying to uphold a higher standard for new articles as compared to articles that are already there.
My proposal is to change strategy: we submit a very small (one or two sentences/paragraphs) basic article with the few solid references we have (books, OCA charter) etc.
Then, when it gets accepted, we slowly add sentences, one by one, on it. So it will be managable for the volunteers, like, just do one sentence when you feel you have the energy... plus it's not that demotivating to see your whole text rejected as a whole.
I would be willing to submit the first sentence - Xavier maybe after that you can add the second? Any other willing to help?
Tom
