Wookieepedia:Mofferences

All Wookieepedians are invited to attend the occasional Wookieepedia Mofference. Kindly don't be scared away by the name; we like to have all opinions at the meetings.

How to join the meeting
The Mofferences take place in our IRC channel, #wookieepedia on chat freenode.net.

For a list of IRC clients, see IRC. Freenode provides web access to our IRC channel via the freenode webchat gateway.

Users who use the webchat gateway to attend the Mofference may experience considerable lag during the meeting, when there is more activity than usual in the channel, and so it is recommended that a chat client such as ChatZilla be used if you wish to participate effectively.

How it works
The Mofference acts like a series of small Consensus Track threads. Before the meeting, users are allowed to add agenda items that will be discussed. The process during the meeting is as follows:
 * 1) The proposer of the agenda item is voiced while the rest of the channel is muted. This allows the proposer to present their item without getting interrupted.
 * 2) The channel is unmuted and a discussion about the proposal ensues.
 * 3) After a short discussion about the proposal, a vote is started by an administrator. The vote is managed by an IRC bot written by Green tentacle, and voting is simple:
 * 4) ~support &mdash; supports the proposal
 * 5) ~oppose &mdash; opposes the proposal
 * 6) ~withdraw &mdash; withdraws your vote
 * 7) When the vote has been open for a small while, an administrator closes it and checks if consensus has been reached.

Note that while anyone may attend the Mofference, only users who are eligible to vote will be allowed to contribute a vote during the meeting.

Discussion of Agenda items is to be held at the Mofference itself, with the exception of procedural comments by administrators and affected users. Comments added to Agenda items will likely be reverted by the administration.

Next meeting
The next Mofference has not been scheduled.
