¶ contributions @ wiki
https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Special:Contributions/WikiBot
You can see what:
"update to update" = space is still active, no change, just added comments
"update to inactive" = changes ACTIVE→SUSPECTED INACTIVE (status specific added for Wikibot!)

¶ how it works
bot (in principle) makes changes 1/every year, after 1 year of no changes on the wiki page
(+) it sends a ping to the people
(-) it leaves some trash behind in the page :)

¶[!!!] ADMIN/SEC -- mediawiki version update
current version is EOL.

jo:

* php was updated recently (to something like 7.3 or 7.4)
* there's really no staging

¶[!] WIKI/IDEA -- it would be interesting to see all spaces that closed
A) via the bot:
also to double-check
B) just in any way:
to have insight into patterns
https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Special:Contributions/WikiBot
Look for hackerspace status of "suspected inactive", this is only set by the wikibot!

¶[!] SERVICE/DECISION -- deprecating jabber
* it's dead for 2 years already
* it wasn't really used before that
* there's no way to get the data
* it would be interesting for somebody that used it, to write a report/history of it:
how many people used it
was it ever really active
___________
"it was metalab's server ... most people had accounts there"
* [...]
→ decided: we retire it in the various communication pages & links

¶[!!!] DECISION/ADMIN -- change hackerspaces.org landing page to redirect to wiki.hackerspaces.org
like back in the old days
* it used to be directly to the wiki, why did this chage? (archive.org confirms this https://web.archive.org/web/2014/http://hackerspaces.org/ )
* dates are wrong, most links are wrong, and anyway, it should be a part of the wiki so it's easily editable
→ we decide to change this back :)
how?
A) redirect
B) "proxy pass"
→ we decide for redirect.

¶[!] DECISION/PROTOCOL -- maintaining services and admins
https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Staff
we seem to have many services & admins that we don't know, haven't heard from in a while, or aren't sure if we can even reach.
→ decided to do: "the dutch approach" ;)
send one mail, give a month time frame to answer,
if they don't, sorry.
→ also: rename the "retired staff" part to "idle" / "inactive"

¶[E!!] PRIVACY/SEC/PROTOCOL -- admins list: public or not public
A) all
B) those who want
C) nobody, just write down tech@
we're thinking:
* maybe have "single point of depreciation"
* but also, it's nice to be famous lol...
→ solution:
"people to talk to" section
so people can find you
and murder you in saal B
