[foodhackingbase] Wiki relaunch

[Ingo Weidauer]

Hey together,


for the QuestyCaptcha extension... We can use several answers
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:QuestyCaptcha#Question_and_Answer_Setup
e.g.

     'What is this wiki about?' =>array('food','food hacking')
     'What can you make from mate?' => array('matelade','tee')

I think using a cacert certificate would be ok but if a lot people think 
we might discourage people using the site, we can go with the commercial 
as well. But I wouldn't pay money for it because I think people are 
smart enough to have a look what kind of certificate it is.

I played around with the Category tags in the wiki. I think this is a 
good idea to have a namespace with recipees and then tag the every other 
pages with categories.
We can tag a recipee or manual with several tags.
e.g.

Prison wine short manual workshop version --> Categories: Drink , 
Fermentation: Alcoholic, Wine, Workshop
Ginger ale--> Categories: Drink, Fermentation:Symbiosis, Beer:Ginger

The category of fermentation would be very important in my opinion. It 
would be nice to give people a hint what happens when they use the 
recipee. I for myself needed a long time to understand just the basics 
what happens when alcoholic fermentation happens or just the fact that 
ginger beer plant is a symbiosis of different bacteries and yeasts. We 
shouldn't describe everything new. We should give some good links to 
wikipedia for example.

For the Event category we should do active sorting like this and a good 
subdirectory structure that everyone can see the date when the page is 
shown in the event category.
e.g.
Events/2013/30c3FoodhackingBase or
Events/2013/12/30c3FoodhackingBase

[[Category:Event|20131227]]


Sincerely,
Ingo
