===== Current tasks =====

**Now**
  * Revive newsletter and social teams, involve more people
    * Plan A: let each team write about themselves, to get familiar with contributing
    * Plan B: ?
  * Better links to [[:forum|]] etc page refactor pages
    * <del>"read others opinions" press, blog, listings</del>
    * "communicate & participate" forum, mailing lists, irc, bug tracker
    * "evaluate" features, factsheet, requirements, changes (leaflet)
  * Add more to [[:factsheet|Facts about DokuWiki]]
  * Continue getting inspired by [[http://tikiwiki.org/Communications+Team?bl=y|TikiWiki Communications Team]]

**Small stuff (one night ;-) )**
  * Update [[:newsletter|DokuWiki Newsletter]] page
  * http://www.packtpub.com/open-source-awards-home
  * http://www.infoworld.com/infoworld-bossie-awards-755
  * Fixup [[:tourbusstop|]]
  * Make the [[:teams|DokuWiki Teams]] page more inviting and appealing, maybe add picture to "Joining a Team"
  * Add links & text "express your happiness with DW, add positive reviews on ..." to [[:thanks|]]
  * Check if some [[#some_thoughts_about_listings|listing could be improved]]
  * Is DokuWiki "MAC friendly"? If so we should mention that somewhere...

**Later**
  * Make changes to the <del>[[:users|DokuWiki Users]]</del> => [[:dokuinstall]] page as suggested in [[teams:new_user_page|New User Page]], could we add stats like [[http://s23.org/wikistats/]]
  * Compile a list of notable DokuWiki installations, Mantis Bug Tracker Wiki etc
  * Make/publish whitepaper about DokuWiki performance, is dokuwiki.org the largest installation?

  * Publish something about statistics Google inurl:doku.php
  * Try to be nominated for an Open Source Award? The ones which come in mind: [[http://www.infoworld.com/infoworld-bossie-awards-755|InfoWorld Bossie Awards]] or [[http://www.packtpub.com/open-source-awards-home|Packt Open Source Awards]]

==== Some thoughts about listings ====

Do something about
  * http://wikiindex.org/DokuWiki
  * Update information at [[http://ostatic.com/dokuwiki|Ostatic]], hopelessly outdated (and bad rating)
  * Try to update information at www.c2.com
  * Update [[http://freshmeat.net/projects/dokuwiki|Freshmeat]]
    * tags/os/translations etc, compare with //tiki// and //confl.//
  * [[http://www.aboutus.org/DokuWiki.org|AboutUs]]
    * Page looks like crap
    * Maybe request "DoFollow"
    * Use their Home Page Analysis Summary (indicates www.dokuwiki.org can be improved)

Get listed on 
  * [[http://www.cmsmatch.com]]
  * [[http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Groupware/Wiki/Wiki_Engines/|dmoz.org]] (url submitted Dec 2010), Open Directory Project is a large, human-edited directory of the Web.

Investigate
  * [[http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/dokuwiki.org|Alexa]]
    * Review of Alexa itself (or how to use the information) [[http://www.seobook.com/alexa-relevant-2010]] 
  * <del>Would [[http://cia.vc/]] add something to the IRC experience?</del> Done

==== Devel efforts improving popularity ====

This is some improvements that might make the first impression better
  * Include more than one template, people want to try different looks easy
  * "Every tick in the box" at WikiMatrix
