We're revamping the wiki content at the moment.

Because the RecapTime.dev Wiki is not only outdated but also badly needed a content refresh, we'll placing it under maintenace mode during the revamp. Expect major changes into how we organize the wiki, among other things. So, we'll be extending our uttermost apologies if things break here.

About this wiki

Recap Time Squad Wiki is the meta wiki for Recap Time Squad, from the team handbook to our operational cookbooks as a open-source organization. It is statically hosted on Cloudflare Pages to save costs on compute (instead of running a MediaWiki instance somewhere and storage (media is stored seperately from the wiki sources with Storj DCS).

While Andrei Jiroh is the wiki maintainer here, anyone can contribute since it is a open-source project.

Purpose

The Squad Wiki serves distinct roles, which are all closely related but often involve different aspects of the organization and subsets of users.

  1. Radical transparency around how we operate, in particular writing the team handbook as a operational guidebook and documenting anything behind the scenes. While the organization runs by single person, it is serves as a way to ensure smooth transition towards the path to community-led maintainership (or as Open Collective and others call it "exit to community" (E2C)).
  2. Formulation and maintenance of Recap Time Squad projects through documentation, coordination and planning. The central venue for discussion is our Zulip Cloud instance and the meta.recaptime.dev mailing list on sourcehut.

Companion

Since the Squad Wiki exist as a static site, we build companion tooling around it to ensure

  • Zulip - We use Zulip both for development and coordination between the community and the team as we work in the public.
  • The meta mailing list on sourcehut - For those who use plaintext emails, we alo run a mailing list on sourcehut for more asynchorous discussions regarding the wiki.
  • Squad Meta Issue Trackers - We utilize GitHub and GitLab Issues for issues relating to the wiki and our operations.

What Meta is not

  • A forum for personal essays about the organization, projects and its people.
    • Due to the nature of static docs sites, we do not accept merge requests specializing in that for now. It might change in the future or possibly added into our blog as an alternative option.
  • A place to describe Material for Mkdocs and/or HCB (Hack Club's fiscal sponsorship program and platform).
    • These have their own communities and documentation sites outside of our purview.
