The software to be used, unless otherwise decided, will be [http://www.wordpress.com the WordPress blogging software], which is free and easy to set up, as well as to moderate.

			==== Goals and Control ====

			The goal of such a blog will be to post news and updates regarding the Wiki via another form. For instance, if a new episode guide or Think Tank proposal is added, we will note this there. The blog will also be used to update people on technical changes to the wiki, such as updates to the MediaWiki software, server moves, etc.

			The question of "who will post" on the blog has been rasied. Therefore, a [[BW:RFA\|RFA]]-type setup will be put into place; people can either be suggested or self-nominated for posting.

			To "control the beast", we will create something called the [[Battlestar Wiki:Blog Ministry\|"Blog Ministry"]], which will allow on-wiki control of the blog and be the place to establish guidelines for blog-posting, requests for blog control (RFBC's, could be the new acronym, I guess) and other blog-related issues.

			It should be reiterated that this is to gather feedback. It can also be used to gather feedback from new or present policies, but it is not a mechanism to create policy. All policy should be made on-wiki via Think Tank.

	~~This is the overview. Basically, a ''summary'' of what the idea is about. You can get into the details later on.~~

	~~The details~~ of ~~your proposal will go here. Be as detailed as you'd like or believe necessary. It is recommended that you find that balance between ''downloading'' information and merely ''telling'' what your~~ idea is.		In lieu of attempting to solicit outside opinions from users regarding the wiki, one idea is to create a blog. The blog will be an outlet for administrators and users to bring up topics pertaining to the wiki, such as announcements on changes within the wiki (updates, new policies, new Think Tank proposals, etc.). Through the blog people will be able to voice their opinions through another venue. Basically, this is for people who may not be comfortable in using the MediaWiki software or don't know how to use it, it's similar to a message board, except the subject of discussion can be more tightly controlled.

	The ~~proposal should strive~~ to ~~answer some of~~ the ~~common questions~~, such as:

	~~# What~~ is the ~~benefit of this proposal~~ to ~~the wiki?~~		Obviously, the Wiki Blog is not meant for personal blogging, but for discussing the wiki itself. Through the blog, we can also add a survey feature for people to fill out to give us feedback on what we're doing good and what we need to improve upon.
	~~# What is involved in implementing this idea?~~
	~~# Who is going~~ to ~~do it?~~
	~~# Why should~~ we ~~do it at all?~~
	~~# How will~~ we ~~use the idea?~~
	~~# Should the proposal pass, when will work start on this idea?~~
	~~# Where will this idea be implemented? (e~~.~~g. Will it be on certain types of pages or the entire Wiki in general?)~~

	~~Do note that~~ the ~~answers~~ to ~~the above questions should be in paragraph form~~, ~~particularly for proposals of a larger scale~~.

Joe Beaudoin Jr.: wiki blog?

2006-09-13T01:49:52Z

wiki blog?

New page

This is the overview. Basically, a ''summary'' of what the idea is about. You can get into the details later on.

=== Wiki Blog ===

The details of your proposal will go here. Be as detailed as you'd like or believe necessary. It is recommended that you find that balance between ''downloading'' information and merely ''telling'' what your idea is.

The proposal should strive to answer some of the common questions, such as:

# What is the benefit of this proposal to the wiki?
# What is involved in implementing this idea?
# Who is going to do it?
# Why should we do it at all?
# How will we use the idea?
# Should the proposal pass, when will work start on this idea?
# Where will this idea be implemented? (e.g. Will it be on certain types of pages or the entire Wiki in general?)

Do note that the answers to the above questions should be in paragraph form, particularly for proposals of a larger scale.
