#Wikibooks on irc.freenode.net
All are welcome to attend. Mike has set up a planning/agenda page at Meta, so everybody can see what kinds of things we want to talk about.

Sorry, can't make it tomorrow. Here's my opinion on some of the topics:
ReplyDelete— FlaggedRevs: the simpler the better; most importantly: is a page free of vandalism? Potential vandals should not be allowed to review pages; thus, it should not be possible to become editor without a substantial effort.
— collections extension: works about as bad as five months ago (printing of images just doesn't work well). I assume that the problems are known, but there seems to be a lack of resources or interest to fix them.
— engaging other books projects online: sounds great but IMHO what is really needed is a better understanding of why authors don't bring their projects to wikibooks (e.g., technical limitations of wikitext vs. Word/LaTeX; limited protection against incompetent (or malevolent) coauthors; etc.)
