新项目流程

新项目流程是一个提议新的姊妹项目的指引。这包括复核、分类、编辑、合并、通过及关闭提议。此草稿是过去主意的组合。流程应从姊妹项目委员会(SPCom)中受益。
任何用户都可以做出新项目的提议——既可以是开启一个全新的维基媒体项目,也可以是接收现有的非维基媒体项目作为维基媒体姊妹项目。
在复核期间,未参与提议的任何人都可以关闭存在破坏性的讨论。如果SPCom成员任务提议没有积极决定的合理可行性,提议会立刻关闭。这可以由任何编辑者回退,只要他发现提议价值的话。
提议新的姊妹项目
- 如果您想提议新的项目,参见新项目申请者手册。
- 这类提议的模板在Template:New sister project proposal开发
- 一项提案至少开放30天,以征求社区和委员会成员的意见和问题。这不是投票; 提出的论点将会由委员会评判。
- 如果拟议的项目可能是一个可行的维基媒体计划,SPCom将在1-2周内做出决定[1]如果合适,SPCom将提出改进的具体建议,或者提出该计划托管、支持的其他建议。
- 如果初步讨论的结果是积极的,并吸引可能的贡献者,可以在维基媒体孵化场上打开官方试用版/演示版(除非存在站外的演示;或者如果有特殊技术要求,在孵化场外的测试维基上可以更容易地实现)起草一份项目计划可能会有所帮助,例如维基共享资源项目计划.
- 孵化/演示版本的成功以否将在最多一年后进行评估,要么建议将其批准作为新项目,或者关闭、移动。
以下内容重复了上面提到的许多方面,应酌情予以删除或整合
- Possible criteria for a successful demo
- 10 interested participants / supporters
- set up in an incubator, with core pages drafted: main page, a dozen sample policy and content pages (incl. initial policies)
- roadmap (for the first 6–12 months), project plan
- proposal noting how this is in line with our mission, what its full scope is, who early audiences are / where outreach should happen.
- demo is active for many months straight.
- Review, communication on status of proposals
- If there are tech needs: review if features are really needed, how things could be done (get in touch with devs)
- Updates on the proposal talk page. Inform various language communities (via mailing lists, village pumps? int'l pumps on meta/commons? on the largest existing wmwiki in that language?)
- If a project is reviewed and found lacking, reasons should be given. It can update its proposal and resubmit it later for further peer review, or continue as an independent project.
- Closing dormant or unworkable proposals
- Proposals which are judged to be incompatible or unworkable, and not simply incomplete or 'not ready yet', may be merged with other proposals or closed.
- Proposals that have had no activity for over 6 months may be marked as historical; if they after become active, they should go back to past supporters and see if they are still interested in contributing.
- After recognition
- Keep developing the incubator demo until the new project is created—and continue outreach to initial editors and additional language-communities.
- Ensure any domain names are owned by the WMF.
- Devs create the new project and New wikis importers seed it with the incubated content.
- Update the lists and tables on Complete list of Wikimedia projects and Wikimedia projects.
- Advertise it on the mailing lists, and ask to have it added (or add it yourself) to main pages of relevant projects.
Adopting an existing project into Wikimedia
- A Template for such proposals is needed
- A proposal is then open for at least 30 days for comments and questions from the community of Wikimedia projects and the community of the affected existing non-WMF project and committee members. Everyone is welcome to comment on the proposal and encouraged to discuss whether (and in which way) it is a good idea to integrate the project. This is not a vote, and will be assessed by the committee on its merits and chances of flourishing.
- If the community from the existing non-WMF project makes clear that they don't want to become a WMF project, such a proposal will be outright rejected.
- Within 1–2 weeks the committee decides if the proposed project could be a viable Wikimedia project[1]. If appropriate, SPCom will give specific recommendations for improvement, or suggestions for where else the project might find hosting/support.
- < more discussions, consideration, etc., see the general considerations below ... >
- If SPCom thinks a proposal to make a non-WMF wiki a WMF project should be accepted, a recommendation to that effect goes to the Board of Trustees, which has the final say.
- General considerations
- Does the proposal fit into one of the existing projects?
- Would there be side-effects on existing projects?
- All process stages should be public.
- Community comments are welcome at all times.
- SPCom can make other recommendations apart from those specifically mentioned here.
- The committee should help in the implementation of its recommendations as far as possible.
