− | [[CNM Wikiware]] (hereinafter, the ''App'') is the [[CNM app]] that empowers [[CNM Wiki]] and, possibly, other publicly-available [[knowledge base]]s of [[Friends Of CNM]]. The ''App'' is both:
| + | #REDIRECT [[Educaship MediaWiki]] |
− | *[[Knowledge management software]] that utilizes [[MediaWiki]] as its engine and is supported by [[CNM Cloud Platform]] including [[MariaDB]] instances that the ''App'' uses as its [[database management system]] and [[OpenLDAP]] that is used as the users' directory. The ''App'' includes a special extension that connects [[MediaWiki]] and [[OpenLDAP]]; and
| |
− | *A service of the [[CNM Cloud]] particularly available at [https://wiki.ksacerts.com wiki.ksacerts.com].
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | ==Business functionality==
| |
− | Besides supporting [[CNM Wiki]], the ''App'' serves as a practice tool in the learning that is delivered by [[Bracka School]] and related to [[knowledge management software]].
| |
− | | |
− | ===Permitted user roles===
| |
− | :[[Opplet]] handles user management for the ''App'' (including "create account" and "change other users' rights" functions). Thus, the [[permitted user role]]s of the ''App's'' users are those [[Opplet role]]s that are specifically based on rights of groups granted by [[MediaWiki]]. The software-defined rights can be found at [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights#List_of_groups MediaWiki's list of groups].

| |
− | | |
− | ==Architecture==
| |
− | The ''App'' is a [[MediaWiki]] instance that is run on [[CNM Cloud Platform]].
| |
− | | |
− | ===MediaWiki===
| |
− | :''Main wikipage: [[MediaWiki]]''
| |
− | | |
− | :The [[MediaWiki]] software is chosen as the ''App'' engine because its usability, productivity, and reliability. Particularly, [[MediaWiki]]:
| |
− | :#Is easy to load (it is a light weight);
| |
− | :#Allows integration with [[CNM Cloud Platform]] and, possibly, other [[CNM app]]s;
| |
− | :#Is scalable and allows addition of more data as need arises;
| |
− | :#Is easy to navigate with a search function that makes it easy to search what any user wants;
| |
− | :#Is cloud hosted so that it can be accessed anywhere;
| |
− | :#Provides an audit trail that can provide identification of who has entered any new information.
| |
− | | |
− | :[[MediaWiki]] also has a provision for the future usage of multiple languages. When the time for adding a new language comes, the existing system shall enable this addition without need for additional components to the original system. It will also enable the user to nominate their preferred language when entering their personal information.
| |
− | | |
− | ===Platform===
| |
− | :''Main wikipage: [[CNM Cloud Platform]]''
| |
− | | |
− | :[[CNM Cloud Platform]] shall provide the ''App'' with all resources that the ''App'' needs in order to run smoothly, including:
| |
− | :*'''[[PHP]]'''-language support;
| |
− | :*'''[[OpenLDAP]]''' that is used for [[user management]]; and
| |
− | :*'''[[MariaDB]]''' as the [[database management system]],
| |
− | :Particularly, the platform shall:
| |
− | :#Make sure that the ''App'' is available 99.99% of the time for any 24-hour period;
| |
− | :#Doesn't store any confidential information, so such information cannot be accessed by anyone.
| |
− | | |
− | ===Decisions to be made===
| |
− | :Currently, the ''App'' uses an outdated, [[Special:Version|1.26.4 version]] of [[MediaWiki]], because the extension used to connect to its [[OpenLDAP]] does not support newer versions. The problem is to find or create a new extension, find another way to connect without using the extension, or keep things as they are.

| |
− | | |
− | ===Further development===
| |
− | In order to constantly develop the ''App'', [[Friends Of CNM]] is looking for one or more vendors. This development project has at least two phases:
| |
− | :#To identify [[#Acceptance criteria|Acceptance criteria]] that shall be met at the end of any further upgrade; and
| |
− | :#To procure those upgrades from one or more vendors.
| |
− | | |
− | :[[RFB]] has been posted and the following responses are collected so far:
| |
− | :*Define page types, naming conventions, user rights, expected behavior to select a set of useful extensions. Then develop ontologies, templates and forms for pages of various types. Adjust search function to the needs of the project.
| |
− | :* Follow the [[updates]] at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download/ru and after the appearance of a new stable version, reinstall the ''App''.
| |
− | :* Monitor the detection of vulnerabilities and the emergence of solutions to eliminate them, apply them.
| |
− | :* Support SSL certificate of Let's Encrypt (how to do it https://hostiq.ua/wiki/how-to-install-lets-encrypt-ssl/);
| |
− | :* Regularly check the site for viruses using this link - https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/07612517c24492a2b4ecf505640d0c4e5d060149282543f1376dc6079b911641/analysis/1522339359/
| |
− | :*The system shall ensure that there is no interference to the active users when maintenance is being done.If need be, the system shall not be shut down for maintenance more than once in a 24‐hour period.
| |
− | :*The system shall produce a storage capacity warning notification when a particular percentage of storage capacity threshold is crossed with additional notifications issued thereafter at different threshold increments.
| |
− | :*When a new version of the system(application) is released, it shall be possible to upgrade to it from any previous version.
