Equipment used in project: Wiki update 2014/Equipment
The Semantic MediaWiki cwi.unik.no was established to have a better interconnectivity between courses, lectures, master thesis and knowledge on a more general level. It links up to external organisations, people whom we collaborate with, projects and is the basis for knowledge exchange and day-to-day operation. The Wiki holds currently:
- information on 160 organisations,
- a total of 593 individual people,
- course information and lectures for the 5 courses: UNIK4230, UNIK4700/UNIK9700, UNIK4710/UNIK9710,
- the course compendium of one course
- information on 19 national and international projects with involvement of members from UNIK
- descriptions of 52 master thesis, out of which 17 are planned, and 10 are ongoing, and
- three international projects and one national project have selected the Wiki as their project management tool.
As such the wiki is the most up-to-date information base for a large base of users.
However the implementation has resulted in some inconsistencies, and despite 60-80 hours of “trial and error” we were not able to fix these errors. We have also identified the need for a graphical update of the wiki, taking into consideration the need of projects such as GravidPluss, BasicInternet, SenSecPhD to present their content in a better way. As we expect to need the Wiki for upcoming collaboration, we therefor ask for a support contract with Prescient Software for an initial period of three month (Sep-Dec2014), details of which are in the following table:
| *Task* | *Description* | *time period* | *estimated hours* |
| 1 | phone support for ongoing questions/bug changes | startup: 4 h, afterwards 0.5-1.5/week | 16? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | CSS design for Web | Sep-Oct 2014 | 8? |
| 3 | Web page GravidPluss | Oct2014 | 12? |
| 4 | Web page for BasicInternet | Oct2014 | 10? |
| 5 | Compendium for UNIK4700/UNIK9700 | Oct-Nov2014 | 6? |
| 6 | Bi-lingual information EN/NO | Nov2014 | 6? |
| 7 | Access control for project internal information | 8 |
A short summary of tasks and solutions will be documented on this wiki, while detailed logs are in
Task 1 - Phone support
We have upgraded to Mediawiki 1.23.3 Special:Version, but experienced the same problems as with previous versions
Some of the failures we experience are that all Properties are represented as «pages», even though they are declared as «text». Examples being Prename, Name and even phone numbers on Josef_Noll
