Document overview of minimum tech requirements for Jitsi and BigBlueButton - Task 1.1
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This is the first task of two for T319310. It is aimed at getting familiar with research and publishing on Meta wiki.

You should register a Wikimedia account if you don't already have one. You can do so at https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount *(NOTE: Do not use full real name or personal data like birthday as a Username)

Read through Meta wiki page WikiProject remote event participation with focus on FLOSS.

Bonus: Register for the project as a participant following the instruction at the top of this segment. Add participation Userbox on your own Meta wiki user page.

If you do not know, learn how to insert and populate content of your User wiki page with basic text styles, lists and simple table in the wiki markup. Consider writing that you new user and learning if that is the case.

Go back to documentation of WikiProject_remote_event_participation again and click the link Connectivity_and_Accessibility.
If the link is red then start gathering info and formating it for overview *(as simple text then format as basic table) on minimum tech requirements for Jitsi web, Jitsi app and BigBlueButton *(using and linking to sources like their official documentation pages). If the link is already blue, check content and possible way to improve it. When all is filled in then move on to the next minitask number 2.1 or if that is claimed to the task 2.2.

If you have done some work and have open issues get in touch by sending us a link to your page and documentation page you just made (ideally by chat, email if a must). Once you are happy with your work make sure to register it as a contribution on the Outreachy website (https://www.outreachy.org/outreachy-december-2022-internship-round/communities/wikimedia/hybrid-event-production-for-queeringwikipedia-2023/#/contributions)!

We will send you a replies as soon as possible on the talk page for the contribution or in chat.

Hi, @Zblace! I made my first contribution to the Connectivity and Accessibility topic. I added the supported systems for Jitsi and BigBlueButton according to the official documentation. Should I add server requirements for production too? Thanks!

Hi @Andrerodriguex! Looks like a good start. Please move it into separate subpage and try to model a single table so that it is easier to compare apps and browser/OS software requirements. We might need to add other soon. Thanks for joining the WikiProject also :-)

hello, T320223 Document overview of minimum tech requirements for Jitsi and BigBlueButton - Task 1.1 , I am interested in this. can you please assign me? thank you.

Thank you for your feedback, @Zblace! Just made the changes you suggested and it does look a lot better, you can check out here. Tell me if there's a way I can improve it.

@Andrerodriguex I was already working on it.

@Sahitya_yadav_1 I'm sorry, I saw the changes he suggested me and just jumped right into it :( We can work together to improve the page, I'd love to see what you were making.

I was kinda doing the same things. you can not change the specs lol, thanks, we can work together.

@Sahitya_yadav_1 it is OK - good that you included hardware and listed browsers...but no references

I like a bit more what @Andrerodriguex did with references and that it is on separate page.

Just both do not list which versions of Operating systems and Browsers, just mobile OSes.

Anyway I am sure you can work on this together...but maybe not right now. You can both go do task 2.1 or 2.2 and then we return to collaborate on Task 1.1 with use of Etherpad for real time coordination and collaboration.

hello sir, thank you for your feedback. I did not add versions of Operating systems and Browsers, because I thought we do not need them. most people use Windows 10. and most of the choromim-based updates automatically. and when talking about mac, they always have to update to a newer version of the operating system. what I am saying is, by default all the browsers and operating systems are compatible if they can use web browsers. we are running web apps on the browser, not in the operating system. I mentioned hardware because we need at least a double-core processor to run the browser smoothly. thank you

and most of the choromim-based updates automatically.

Such assumptions are wrong in many environments. Please avoid them. :)

@Andrerodriguex I was adding few more aspects maybe worth tracking here
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WikiProject_remote_event_participation/End_user_minimum_tech_requirements ...and invited few more folx to give us inputs.

@Jsamwrites you know much about software info on Wikidata. Could we try to use Wikidata to store essential info on minimum tech requirements + maybe (subjective or other inputs that what can not go there as extended narrative reviews) on Wikispore for TechReviews? https://wikispore.wmflabs.org/wiki/TechR_Spore
Asked also on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:WikiProject_Informatics/FLOSS#technical_requirements_as_property?

Zblace set Due Date to Jan 9 2023, 10:00 AM.

@Zblace: Hi, the Due Date set for this open task passed a while ago.
Could you please either update or reset the Due Date (by clicking Edit Task), or set the status of this task to resolved in case this task is done? Thanks!

If this task requires no more work, please help change its status to resolved. If there is remaining work, moving any pending items to a new task and closing this would be ideal, as Outreachy Round 25 workboard would soon be archived now that the internship is over.
