A few quick suggestions related to the Wiki, some more important than the other:

  1. Unimportant suggestion for convenience only: is it possible to customise the general template for the Wiki so that the vertical bar of links on the left hand side (containing the "navigation", "search" and "toolbox") also contains links to a few central Wiki pages?  Like the OHKLA and CLLARE main pages, and maybe the CLLARE workgroup pages?  I'm sure I've seen this on other Mediawikis, although I can't remember where.
  2. Slightly more important: we need to decide on a copyright license for the Wiki.  The Wiki edit page by default has a link to the page CSTART_Wiki:Copyrights but there is nothing there.  Obviously there needs to be.  I would suggest a CC license of some variety for this, like everything else.  The Open Luna Foundation has their Wiki under a CC-BY-NC-SA license and they have text and images to that effect at the bottom of their template, this may be something to copy (the notices at the bottom, not necessarily the exact license, although it feels like a sensible choice).
  3. Rizwan, I presume that you are currently the only Wiki user whose account has any kind of admin or moderator priveleges?  Since we are getting quite close to the point where we will want to declare our versions of the Mission Statement, Design Philosophy and Social Contract "final" and set them to be only editable by moderators (since these are important, defining documents which should be modified rarely in accordance with bylaws), now might be a good time to grant moderator priveleges to other members who are clearly trustworthy.

Main CLLARE workgroups: Mission Planning, Navigation and Guidance. I do maths, physics, C, Python and Java.

1. I don't see this as a need, because anyway you can easily click on the logo, come to the main page and select a link. Although if people are interested in doing this, I don't mind incorporating it provided someone can get me instructions on how to do this.

2. I am not sure about this, although I would prefer CC-BY-SA

3. Done.

  1. Sure, it's by no means urgent or important, just would save a little bit of time during marathon Wiki sessions.
  2. I suppose CC-BY-SA would be fine for the Wiki, we haven't gone NC with anything else (except our logo, which is quite different), so there's not much sense in doing so now.  How do others feel?
  3. Thanks very much!

I agree that CC-BY-SA is ideal.

Main work groups: Propulsion (booster), Spacecraft Engineering, Computer Systems, Navigation and Guidance (software)
