4.0 IDEAS FOR IMPROVING THE ORGANISATION OF AT-LARGE CONTENT (AT-LARGE WORKING GROUPS)

https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/99545395/Tools+used+to+organise+content+created+by+At-Large+Working+Groups

https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/99546746/Issues+noted+regarding+content+of+At-Large+Working+Groups+and+recommendations

Next steps:

having a separate installation of Confluence to experiment with and test ideas

Scope of Confluence installation:

Given the ongoing and extensive use of the wiki by At-Large, testing different approaches to how the content is organised is difficult. For example, trying new themes or trying plugins without fear of "breaking" the existing wiki. So the scope would be

for a separate confluence instance, completely independent of the confluence installation in use by ICANN At-Large (and other ICANN communities)
having a copy of the ALAC space (everything under https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/overview ) to be able to manipulate and reorganise
having admin access to be able to install (and uninstall) plugins and/or themes

Some Confluence plugins of interest:

Transform Confluence into a blog platform - there is a space called At-Large Social Media Posts https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/alsocialmedia/overview where the RSS from the blog feed (a challenge to get working) is autoposted to At-Large Social Media accounts : this looks much more refined http://www.refinedwiki.com/en/display/products/blog-plugin-confluence.aspx
Send email to page: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/biz.artemissoftware.plugins.confluence.send-email-to-page - since the emails from ALAC announce are currently re-posted manually on the At-Large Social Media Posts space, emails from At-Large Staff could be bcced to this blog to remove this manual step. Also easier to copy emails from the various mailing lists to wiki comments in order to group the discussion on one page, rather than manually copy/paste
Zen Foundation: can we create great looking landing pages to make content enticing for non-active and members of the public finding the page? https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.zenfoundation
Table Filter: - the ability to filter tables as you type looks promising. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.plugin.tablefilter.tablefilter

5.3 MISSING TRANSLATION TOOL ON WIKI

6.0 EVALUATION/COMPARING WEB CONFERENCING SOLUTIONS

Things to consider :

any other conferencing solution to evaluate?
Do TTF members have any opinions on the conferencing solutions evaluated so far? If we had to choose a webconferencing solution for At-Large, what would it be?
Is there a feature that's you feel is missing from the conferencing solutions used (Adobe Connect, Lucid)
