Wiki challenges

Using KOER metadata to improve KOER, August 2020
Click on Special pages on left frame, to get many useful reports. MediaWiki provides metadata to help track changes, we can use that to track. I will show these reports in the discussions today, and we will use it to correct, revise KOER.
 * 1) To see all files, you can do	simple wiki report -   File list  -   and	sort on reverse chronology (you can give .ggb as media name to get	only geogebra files added) -   File	list
 * 2) To see recent changes also gives	you picture of pages added/modified. -   Recent	changes
 * 3) To see new pages added,  	New	pages
 * 4) To see all maths pages click on 	Maths category (from category list report)   - there are	few useful reports -  Categories 	to drill down, use  this  Category	tree
 * 5) if you want to see a combination	of categories (maths and class 9) you can use multi  category	search - Multi-category	search
 * 6) If you want to see what all one	user (say Girija) has added, you can use report User	contributions and input Girija in user name

Other reports to help correct/check KOER are
 * Uncategorized	categories
 * Uncategorized	files
 * Uncategorized	pages
 * Unused	categories
 * Wanted	categories

Metadata in wiki
We are using Categories feature for metadata

Aesthetic challenges

 * 1) Table creation and looks : Status by Rakesh - now it is easy to create table. after I updated wiki editor
 * 2) Modularized presentation is clumsy
 * 3) Limited options for layout

Extension issues

 * 1) widget - photo slide show
 * 2) Freemind - syntax has changed to simpler

User challenges

 * 1) Coherence of exploration
 * 2) Not possible to tag - We have to Add Categories
 * 3) Not possible to create a user collection - You can create watchlist
 * 4) Not possible to rate - rating is working but its not recording in any where.

Production challenges

 * 1) Off-line output as PDF. we need it as ODT also (so we can make small changes, add credits etc)
 * 2) on-line as wiki. get reports / notifications by email of changes being made
 * 3) a user can create a watchlist of pages, any change here will be mailed to user (page trustee)
 * 4) if a resource group needs to see notifications, then create a dummy/alias id and any change in pages watch listed can send a mail to the mail group
 * 5) can the watchlist be on a category? or a user?
 * 6) recent changes - and this is not being notified. list of such edits including new pages should go to some id (orphan)
 * 7) implicit and explicit links - resolved (references at the end for all implicit links)
