Revision as of 04:45, 30 April 2008

There are over 150 great tech brief documents that may be ported, in several categories from Practical Action's site.

A suggested process

The following process is suggested to help coordinate multiple people doing the porting:

  1. Identify a page that has not yet been tagged by someone for porting
  2. Before you get too far, check that, indeed, the page has not yet been ported
  3. Tag the page, with your user signature (we request that all porters create logins and simple user pages) and timestamp (you can use the 4 ~'s; clicking the second-from-right button in the editing toolbar will insert that for you). See examples below.
  4. Create the target page using the name of the Technical Brief, plus "PATB" (Practical Action Technical Brief) to make the name distinct
  5. Copy / paste the following at the top of your new article: {{PATBpage}}
  6. As you work through the page, please check to see if there is any indication of content that is not sourced by Practical Action.
    1. If so, make note in the status that addition permission is required.
    2. Go ahead and request the permission if you're comfortable with that (see Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission), noting in the status that you have done so.
    3. Otherwise just note that permission is needed.
    4. Of course, if we cannot get permission for some content, we need to make note of that and remove the document from the list of content to be ported
  7. As you make progress, update the status bullet (below) for the page, update your signature and timestamp so that we can tell if a page gets stuck for some reason.
  8. If you're clear about how to categorize the page, please go ahead and do that when the page is largely complete (i.e. worth reading)
  9. If you're not comfortable doing the categorization, please note that in the page status when you are done with your work

Thanks for your help!
