Foundational Knowledgebase Content Development
The first draft of the Foundational Knowledgebase outline has been published, it is always up for review and ideas:
http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?491332-Building-a-Foundational-Knowledgebase-Outline-%28part-1%29
Technology Update
Mediawiki is being selected as the CMS to contain the information for goals #1 and #3. Mediawiki has already been installed on our sever and it is up and running, with no content yet.
Strategic Development Plan & Next Steps
Our move forward plan is to:
Keep refining the outline.
Develop page templates for certain types of pages.
Start to develop the dictionary.
Start to create pages and fill out basic content.
From an administration level, we will initially focus efforts on creating a wide scope of good quality pages vs. a limited scope of excellent quality. As time allows we will enhance pages to be more complete. This will allow for the overall content and value of the project to come into view more quickly.
We will not be jumping into the development of Goal #2 (study) and #3 (tactics analysis) to provide necessary focus on Goal #1. These will come as it makes sense. We may jump into some Goal #4 discussion to help drive progress.
