Forum:Codference

Forums: Index → War Room → Codference

This forum is to discuss a real-time discussions system whereas users will be able to discuss wiki-matters on a scheduled basis. It will be known as Codference and a proposed Codference page can be seen here.

Codferences will allow us to discuss things quickly and efficiently. Note that this will not replace the War Room, instead it will supplement it.

Codferences will take place on IRC, in the official channel. Whatever off-topic chat that is going on will be cut off to allow the discussions to take place in #wikia-codference, and the discussions will be logged.

So please discuss below and develop this idea if you can. Feedback is appreciated.      23:30, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

You can see an existing form of this in Wookieepedia's Mofferences, where inspiration is taken from. Bovell ^{Talk | Contrib.} 00:17, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

Disscusion

I like this idea, but make a channel just for "Codferences", like #wikia-codference

You spelled it with a 'D' instead of an 'n'.

Anyway, although I won't be in it (I'm too whatever to keep on topic), it sounds like a good idea.

It's a play-on-words. Bovell ^{Talk | Contrib.} 23:35, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Isn't there something like this in your sandbox Bovell? Anyway, its a great idea. elmo's ramblings 23:37, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

It's linked to in the proposal. Bovell ^{Talk | Contrib.} 23:43, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

I'd like to come! But, on your sandbox, why are some of the dates the "42^nd? M170^Talk 23:51, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

This is only a proposal, and the proof of concept present in my sandbox is a parody. Bovell ^{Talk | Contrib.} 00:53, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

What Drk said. If it's in its own channel it would be easier to start and keep on track if there aren't people in the designated chatting area that have no intention of partaking in the codference. On a stylistic note, are codferences meant to be treated, as a concept, as proper nouns? That's going to personally bug me if it's not specified. :P Sgt.

Since the word is composed of the abbreviation for Call of Duty, CoDference might be the stylistic choice, making it a proper noun. Bovell ^{Talk | Contrib.} 12:39, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

I also think #wikia-codference would be better, especially seeing that we have quite a few people in the channel that do not edit the wiki. N7 TC 08:17, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

I like it. And yep, it would be better to make a separate channel for it. - MLGISNOT4ME ^[Talk] - 12:08, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

I now too believe that it will be better to have it in #wikia-codference. I've changed the original post to reflect people's views that #wikia-codference would be better.      13:10, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

What's more, I could make an IRC gateway like the one on COD:IRC but for #wikia-codference and stick it on the CoDference page, which would mean easy access to all who are interested but do not own clients.      13:12, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

We'll also put "#wikia-codference" in the topic for #wikia-cod? N7 TC 13:20, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

We want as many people to have access to such a meeting as possible, and those that cannot attend will be able to view a log of the discussion afterwards. Bovell ^{Talk | Contrib.} 13:44, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

Great, that way we have a channel dedicated for codferences :D DrkDragonz66   Talk  Contribs  Combat Arms   15:31, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
