+ | * Communication plan related to fundraising which highlights the value of community participation/ | ||
+ | * Fundraising for increased project independence (realistically: | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Challenge 2. Documentation can not be all things to all people; how do we balance keeping it evergreen vs. having very clear, specific examples? == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Possible Actions: | ||
+ | * Investigate whether Dokuwiki contains a plug-in for alerting to old/ | ||
+ | * Investigate whether Dokuwiki contains a mechanism for page ownership, so people can “own” pages and be responsible for revisions, keeping things up to date, etc. | ||
+ | * Even if no automated mechanism exists, some of this could be done manually using pages listing other pages in need of attention and assigned owners. | ||

+ | * New communication channels for advertising call? Not just listservs? | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Challenge 5. There are relatively few technical contributors who contribute large amounts of code and who have a comprehensive understanding of the very large code base == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Possible Actions: | ||
+ | * Reaching out to hosting companies during fundraising phase. | ||
+ | * "Good first issue" highlighting for onboarding; in conjunction with Hacktoberfest? | ||
+ | * Reach out to existing users to contribute their local features/ | ||
+ | * Even consider looking at published forked code bases from other users to propose/ | ||
+ | * Develop a more comprehensive/ | ||
