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: Note that only users who meet our Single-issue voters policy will be allowed to voice their opinion during the Mofference.
 * 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.

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 administration.

Next meeting
The next Mofference is scheduled for Sunday, June 29 at 0:00 UTC, which is Saturday, June 28 at 8 PM ET in North America.

Agenda
This is the agenda for topic discussions at the Mofference. Everyone is welcome to add a topic to the list, which will be discussed and/or voted on by those present. Please keep in mind that should this list grow too long, some topics at the end of the list may be removed in the interest of time. Everyone is reminded that discussions on these topics should be reserved for the meeting and not discussed here.


 * 1) Expanded Universe vs. Star Wars Legends: We should determine whether or not to move Expanded Universe to Star Wars Legends. The SW.com press releases seem to think so. To quote:
 * -"In years past, the storylines that would appear in print and on screen were developed separately, resulting in an 'Expanded Universe' that differed in ways large and small from the filmmaker's 'canon.' These rich stories provide a treasure trove of characters to fall in love with -- and deep worlds to explore and will live on in both physical and digital editions, newly-branded as Star Wars Legends."
 * -"And now we're excited to finally be able to call our upcoming novels true canon -- a single, cohesive Star Wars storyline -- all while keeping the amazing backlist of Star Wars Legends content in print."
 * -"Demand for past tales of the Expanded Universe will keep them in print, presented under the new Legends banner." Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 18:07, June 12, 2014 (UTC)
