add projectcom.wikimedia.org for new private wiki

Why "projectcom"? I would have expected something like "projectgrants" or "grantscom" / "grantscommittee".

Also, if the reason for the new wiki is just that IEG was replaced with this new one, that looks like an argument for using the same old wiki (would you for instance continue using some of those pages?). You could continue using it (bad name for historical reasons) or we could see about renaming its url (annoying as it would be).

Program Officers are already using projectgrants and projectcom as handles to distinguish between general programmatic workflows, and committee-specific workflows, so it would be confusing to call the committee wiki projectgrants. Since there are five grants committees, grantscom/grantscommittee isn't specific enough. It could be called projectgrantscommittee... just seemed too long to us.

Unfortunately, it's not as simple as the new wiki just replacing the old one. Project Grants, as a program, merges IEG and portions of PEG (two former grants programs that both closed with the launch of Project Grants). Each of the programs had associated communities who participated in them, and they'll now be largely merged. Because of the merge, the workflows, purpose and participants on the new wiki are all changed, and naming the wiki after one of the two former programs is problematic since it might appear to be privileging one of the two former programs over the others.

What about https://grants.wikimedia.org/? There's already a private wiki here. Will that work?

If https://iegcom.wikimedia.org/ is dead, can it be marked as closed?

MZMcBride, I've asked Katy Love about https://grants.wikimedia.org/. I'm not familiar with that wiki. I'll let you know what I find out.

What does it mean for a wiki to be marked as closed? I would like to reserve ongoing access to https://iegcom.wikimedia.org/ for reference in the future, but it's highly unlikely that any further edits will be made there.

Change 305120 abandoned by Dzahn:
add projectcom.wikimedia.org for new private wiki

Reason:
no consensus about the name of the wiki

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/305120

Poulpy from fr.wikipedia suggests to use the abbreviation pgc.wikimedia.org. That would let the other concurrent names free for others wikis and would match the real name of the committee.

@Mjohnson_WMF what are your plans to pick a name and so we can move this task forward?

Past experience shows the database name is a real blocker as nobody is currently interested to prepare a workflow to rename databases, and as such, database names should be definitive and match a logic.

My preference for the URL remains https://projectcom.wikimedia.org. As an abbreviated handle, projectcom matches what we're already using in various places so the committee recognizes it and I prefer the consistency. This only applies to the URL. The fully displayed name on the mainpage, however, should be Project Grants Committee, not projectcom.

@Platonides fine for you?

@Dereckson I'm not sure that's the best possible subdomain, but if after discussing it they still think that's the most suited one, I won't oppose either.

@Platonides okay.

So as we don't have any better suggestion, I'm going to work on this.

@BBlack Anything tagged Domains go to Traffic.

I am no means probably even supposed to comment on this task but in my opinion i think it should be called projgrant or some other variant of that.

I've prepared a poll with the Zppix's suggestion and the Marti's choice.

{V11}

Adding the current members of the Project Grants committee so we can get more input.

Note an argument against projectgrants and other variants have been given:

As a committee member I am fine with projectcom.wikimedia.org. It seems the best choice among available names.

As the poll doesn't give strong and clear input, and excepted if someone gives a formal opposition on this task in the next days, projectcom.wikimedia.org will be the final domain.

I'll prepare next week the required changes, with the goal to schedule a window Thursday 2016-11-03 for this, as the same time than for ec.wikimedia.org.

@Dereckson ack no debate from my end with that decision

projectcom is a bad name for a wiki database name. If this is a wiki, it must contain the wik string e.g. (enwiktionary, enwiki, ptwikimedia, etc.). This is true for all wikis right now, and while technically it is not enforced, I know several consumers that assume that in order to list WMF wikis:

~/mediawiki-config$ grep -c wik dblists/all.dblist 
898
:~/mediawiki-config$ wc -l dblists/all.dblist 
898 dblists/all.dblist

Note the wiki can have any name or domain, this is only for the database name. For example, projectcomwiki db -> projectcom.wikimedia.org.

When this is solved, allow me to block this to check that, as this is a private wiki, be 100% sure no data is sent to labs.

The dbname should indeed be projectcomwiki, like we have strategywiki.

Wiki creation is done.

@Mjohnson_WMF I sent you a mail with credentials information. It's a bureaucrat account, so you can then create accounts for other committee members and staff requiring access.

@Mjohnson_WMF so next steps are you confirm you can log in, create an "AWang (WMF)" account, and edit the first page to explain this is the Project Grants Committee private wiki, who can access it and why it's restricted.

From our side, as soon as you confirm us you can login, edit a page and create an account for another user, we can consider the wiki as created.

So, to give a little status update, @Mjohnson_WMF sent me 3 days ago a mail explaining there are some login issue, and I sent instructions by mail how to solve that.

@Mjohnson_WMF, how's that going? Multiple important people went to the (quite large) trouble of creating this wiki, so if you don't have time to finish setting it up we will offer to hand it over to someone else who will.

Hi there,

I still haven't been able to log in. I tried to follow the instructions,
but still haven't been able to get it to work. I am under tremendous
deadline pressure to finish the current grantmaking round, so I don't have
a lot of bandwidth to further investigate until after December 17.

In any case, once I can get in, I can take it from there. We absolutely
appreciate the work that went into creating this, and this wiki will get
used for many years. At the moment, we are making due with google docs,
and there are many reasons it isn't an appropriate or effective tool for
our actual needs, so it will be really helpful to get stuff transferred
over to this wiki for the next round.

Thanks,

Marti

Okay, let's try to debug after the 18th

@Mjohnson_WMF Could you connect to IRC and ping me so we can test and debug that together? My nickname is Dereckson.

@Mjohnson_WMF: Ping.

@Mjohnson_WMF: Would you be in for debugging that?

Current status: we should ask another projectcom member to continue the wiki setup.

I tried to ask to @Lena in the past, whom was abroad at this time. I'm going to try with @Superzerocool (active on a recent grant on meta)
