Proposal: Wikimedia Foundation to adopt, maintain, and extend ODK about opendesignkit HOT 13 OPEN

I approve of this. I still refer back to the ODK pretty regularly at Splice, and I want to make sure that it continues to be maintained and grows.

Oh wait! One concern I do have is, what happens if/when @iamjessklein leaves Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)? I'm a bit concerned that if WMF retains ownership of ODK after she leaves, it might go unmaintained and perish. But otherwise I think it's a splendid plan.

I'm totally fine with this! I want it to be cared for, so it all sounds good.

from opendesignkit.

Absolutely agreed.

This is a great idea and I wholeheartedly approve. It's a wonderful resource and fully deserving of WMF's full support :)

I love this idea! I still use ODK quite often and would love to see it evolve <3

So what we've done, is create a stub page for ODK on mediawiki. This can act as a container for all of the content that's currently on Open Design Kit.

Next steps:

• design information architecture
• create plan for implementation

I think this sounds good. Like @deathbearbrown I still reference ODK often, and still have a couple of methods I've been (more slowly than I'd hoped) working on for addition. So long as the project remains open-source I support the move.

This is great news, I totally agree and approve this :)

Does this mean that the homepage / opendesignkit.org is going away?

from opendesignkit.

Yes and no - it will be replicated and redirected.
