Wiki (Bookstack)

Bookstack is a user friendly Wiki software which the NYC Mesh Wiki is built on.

MVP Wiki Launch Features

Before the Wiki can be more broadly used (and and possibly replace docs.nycmesh.net) we must add some key features:

Required

  • MeshSimple LANintroduction
    based
      login
    • Ensure systemeverything a new volunteer/stakeholder would benefit from seeing is linked in the introduction book.
      • Hardware page to show extent of documentation and another "book".
  • Support for old users -
      users
    • Old canto accessnew mapping 
      • 1. sitemap mapping of old page to new?
      • 2. update all docs pages with a link to the wiki freelyequivalent.
      • from
      inside the mesh and create an account.  Unlogged in users from outside the Mesh can see certian pages, but private pages, or edit.
    • MeshPage hosting - the wiki should be hostedredirects on Meshdocs
    • hardware
    so it does not go down if we forget to pay AWS etc.
  • Full duplicate of docs.nycmesh.net content - to avoid information fragmentation, we should migrate a full copy of all existing docs content
  • SimpleMerge sidebarany contentdupe Docs and Wiki pages (ex. hubs?)
  • Replace high level links to docs (nycmesh.net header "Docs" replaced with "Wiki"

Nice to have

  • Mesh hosting - Currently on AWS, but we could move to Mesh hosting fairly easily.
  • Mesh LAN based user creation - Ideally a member on the mesh should simplifybe allowed to create an editor account without involving admins.  This is possible with a custom theme but needs more development.  A disabled in-development theme file is included in the publicthemes sidebar so it more closely matches docs.nycmesh.netdirectory.
