This '''community portal''' page is a workspace for administrators and contributors. It's the hub where we propose ideas, share news, and coordinate on plans for evolving this wiki.

{{Note|type=reminder|This page is meant to be edited! Add your own proposals and thoughts. Don't be afraid to use the Discussion page!}}

== Work in Progress ==
* [[User:Andrew Gronosky]] <s>will get email working for the wiki.</s> DONE
* [[User:Andrew Gronosky]] <s>will get the [[Contact]] page working.</s> DONE
* [[User:Andrew Gronosky]] is updating, consolidating, and generally improving all the pages in the Help and Project: Redcap namespaces. Contact him if you want to help!
* [[User:Andrew Gronosky]] will apply the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself | Don't Repeat Yourself] principle to the Help and Project: Redcap namespaces, plus pages such as [[contributing]].

== Announcements ==
See [[Project Redcap: Current events]]
* Rename (move) [[Project Redcap: Current events]] to something like "Project Redcap: Announcements?"

== Change Proposals ==
* Proposed 2024-01-24: Remove page [[Project Redcap:Copyrights]]. Move copyright related content to [[Project Redcap:Terms of Service]] and trademark related content to [[Project Redcap: General disclaimer]]. The Copyrights page has 17 inbound links that would need to be updated, and a redirect should be created so any inbound links from the internet can go to the new content [[User:Andrew Gronosky]]

== Ideas ==
=== Revisit Purpose ===
In light of the news that [[Ars Magica Definitive Edition]] will be community licensed, we have a chance to expand the [[Project Redcap: Purpose]] purpose of this site. We can use it as a publishing hub, a one-stop shop for the Ars Magica community to develop new open-licensed content for Ars Magica. I think this will take some thought about how to organize and label such content. Users who don't want their open licensed content edited willy-nilly by other users should post on their own non-wiki websites and link to them from Project:Redcap. [[User:Andrew Gronosky]]

=== Add Bureaucrats ===
Users with administrator privileges are called "bureaucrats" in MediaWiki documentation. 

I'd like to see people volunteer for the bureaucrat role. Bureaucrats share the work of:
* Creating user accounts when requested
* Responding to moderation requests -- which happen rarely
* Patrolling the "recent changes" page and deleting spam and banning user accounts.

=== Update Main Menu ===
Consider updating the main menu to added pages such as:
* A landing page for contributors, such as [[Project Redcap: Getting Started]]
* A landing page for help
