[RFC] [IMPORTANT!] Proposal for Major FenWiki Changes
[RFC] [IMPORTANT!] Proposal for Major FenWiki Changes
#1
Okay guys, this is an all hands on deck situation. If you're involved in Fenspace in any capacity I need your opinion on this.

I would like to move the fiction archives off of FenWiki. The MediaWiki format is not really suited for long-form fiction, as I'm sure most of us have noticed, and as the stories get longer the less suitable MediaWiki becomes for storing them. So I propose we move the stories offsite to an archive that's designed to handle fiction.

The pros are that the stories are easier to read, easier to find and (most importantly) easier for authors to upload from the forum. The big con is that we lose a measure of control over our work since we're not the ones maintaining the archive. I think that ease of access beats loss of control, but I don't know that, which is where you guys come in.

Is this something we should pursue? I have a plan of action that can be started if the Collective agrees to it, but before I start that up I want a consensus.

ETA: Just to be clear, based on current events should we decide to move the archives offsite we will not be moving to FFN.
