Ongoing,

** need to unify how meetings are recorded

* Update [[Library]]
−
** need to examine how minutes are codified
 
−
* Templates for state condition -> [[/StateActive/]]? and other conditions, but definitely [[/StateInactive/]]
 
−
* Templates, will need official action to complete -> ? [[/Info/]], ! [[/Note/]], ! [[/Warning/]]
 
−
** May also need Obsolete, Official(? for party documents like bylaws that are officially adopted and require votes to substantively change), and something to base [[Template:CoreValue]] on
 
−
** Note for [[Talk:Main Page]] that we're active elsewhere, as well as notes for other spots where appropriate. Rebase state condition templates on ^ formatting.

* Rename committees to have "(thing) Committee" as the title

* Some categories for completion/need for updates?
 
−
* Youtube based resource of educational content creators? complete with alt links like nebula, odysee, peertube as applicable
 
−
* reconcile active, inactive parties, etc
 
−
 
−
* Improve [[Local Party Organization]], [[New State Guide]], [[USPP Frequently Asked Questions]]
 
−
* Divide [[Template:USPP Menu]] sections into transplantable, individually editable parts so they can be part of more local navigation. For example, "States" can become its own template, used in the main page but also referenced on every state page and in the [[Local Party Organization]] reference.
 
−
* Recheck: [[Special:UnusedTemplates]], [[Special:WantedCategories]], [[Special:UnusedFiles]], [[Special:UnusedCategories]], [[Special:UncategorizedTemplates]], [[Special:UncategorizedPages]], [[:Category:USPP_States]] (you can't redirect a category), [https://wiki.uspirates.org/w/index.php?username=&group=bureaucrat&wpsubmit=&wpFormIdentifier=mw-listusers-form&title=Special%3AListUsers&limit=500 bureaucrat list] (this is a potential security issue given the high quantity of advanced rights holders who are also inactive, given the wiki is also intermittently updated)
 
−
* Dead link resolution ([[Trifold_flyer]])

And more...

Temporary until this can better integrate with the [[IT]] Committee's list.

* Favicon for wiki.uspirates.org

* Major improvements to the usability of non discord venues (IRC, review the forum, review other possibilities)

* It committee's mailing list link is down

* Review the project list, start fresh, and commit to items

* Wiki needs a cache refresh, various SpecialPages list entries that no longer exist
 
−
* Something is broken reviewing entries at [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Non-free_web_screenshot]]

Candidates for library/related areas

Dubious relation to the pirate party now, but possibly compatible causes & reading

  • Keep Android Open
  • Check gaming compatibility on Linux: ProtonDB & Are We Anti-Cheat Yet
    • Most games, give or take effort of setup, do work on Linux. Option overload, troubleshooting, roughly maintained documentation, and a handful of games that refuse to work are why the idea of most games not working on Linux still exists.
  • Coffeezilla on Youtube
  • Techdirt.

More interesting outlinks,

Deflock your life

  • deflock.me - find known roadway surveillance cameras
    • Have I Been Flocked? - check if your car is known to be under this surveillance
    • alpr.watch - known instances of this surveillance being discussed, and upcoming events
    • All links are a community effort, if something was missed, add :)

Why is Flock a garbage company, deserving this sort of callout?

A useful way to punch back: multiple courts have found flock roadway cameras to be public information. Submit public information requests alongside any other complaints about them. These have a useful chilling effect as the state is less than pleased to share the dystopian fruits of its labor. For private businesses the best you've got is complain and avoid unless you have better recourse in your state/community.

Age verification is awesome
