GPC/Creating Project Wiki Pages

Steps to starting a project (paraphrased from draft Project Handbook:

1. Submitter sends request via: new project request form
2. Request generates an email to the GPC containing project submission
3. All requests are held for a five day waiting period ("speedbump") for committee and community review/feedback. The proposal will be sent to the Global Projects Committee Mailing List: [email protected]
4. At the conclusion of the "speedbump" period, the project is created.

Steps to creating a project on the OWASP Wiki:

• Determine Project Name (e.g. “OWASP Example Project”)
• Create OWASP mailing list (e.g. https://lists.owasp.org/mailman/listinfo/owasp-example-project)
• Create Project Roadmap Page (e.g. https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Projects/OWASP_Example_Project/Roadmap )
  • In this wiki page, paste the text from the Incubator Project Application (roadmap column J)
  • Save the wii page
• Create Project Metadata wiki page (e.g. https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Projects/OWASP_Example_Project )
  • Type the syntax below and fill in details from the Incubator Project Application spreadsheet. It creates a Project About using this template: Template:Project_About

{{Template:Project About
| project_name =OWASP Example Project
| project_home_page =OWASP Example Project
| project_description =This is the description from column I of the Incubator Project Application spreadsheet
| project_license =This is the license from column D of the Incubator Project Application spreadsheet
| leader_name1 =This is the leader from column E of the Incubator Project Application spreadsheet
| leader_email1 =This is the email @owasp.org created for the leader
| leader_username1 =This is the wiki account for the leader
| mailing_list_name = This is the full link to the mailing list (e.g. https://lists.owasp.org/mailman/listinfo/owasp-example-project)
| project_road_map = This is name of the roadmap wiki page created in the previous step (e.g. Projects/OWASP_Example_Project/Roadmap)
}}

• Create main project page (e.g. https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Example_Project )
• Use the following syntax (replace Projects/OWASP_Example_Project with the appropriate Project Metadata wiki page created above)

=Main=
Project Leader’s content goes here

=Project About=
{{:Projects/OWASP_Example_Project}} 

[[Category:OWASP Project]]

• Add the just created project to the Project Inventory Spreadsheet with all the relevant details, wiki page, etc.
