SMART 02 - try uploading a moinmoin Wiki (read all 2 entries…)
Define Task

Specific

1) research Moin Moin
2) download files for installation
3) Find out what’s needed to install it and if possible go ahead
4) Record findings and progress as a learning activity web page.

Measurable
YES, when the web page is completed, I know I’ve done it

Achievable
YES, even if I find out it’s not possible, this completes the task I set myself.

Relevant
YES, If this works then it’s the simplest solution and enables me to get up and running sooner so I can concentrate on the community research.

Timed
I’ll do this and more this weekend.

Less work in the end eh? We’ll have to see about that. I think I’m finding the discipline of defining small tasks useful, it’s a bit less disheartening than trying to tackle a big project when you can easily start to wonder if it will ever work or if there will be enough time and then give up, hide under the duvet, or find myriad distractions.

Overall plan?

“I think I’m finding the discipline of defining small tasks useful”

Excuse me asking – but do you have an overall plan of where you’re going/ – or are you completing many small cycles and seeing how far you get?

It’s the holist in me coming out I think!

overall plan

Yes, I do have an overall plan, (although I reckon I can do most of it wearing a Tshirt) which I outlined in the Bob Dick hotseat, page 1.

This has been an initial loop, focussing on the prerequiste technical issues and the use of 1st person research with SMART tasks.

It’s basically to see if an existing community of practice can benefit by using a wiki to accumulate knowledge, eventually building up some sort of definitive guide to the subject.

Research questions are:

How does the community react to the idea of the wiki
What issues need to be resolved and how. What effect does it have on the existing mailing list
Do wiki editors come straight from the website bypassing the community
Other matters arising
