Stage 3 (Access Alpha)
This project stage will be the first large stage, and is marked by implementing most of Wikidot’s primary feature set.
...
- Begin drafting proposals for social questions surrounding Wikijump as a platform. How it is governed, buy-in and ideas from various stakeholders, and beginning to compose a final list of site participants.
- Formal terms of service (TOS) are drafted and ratified
- Formal legal structure of the platform is determined and implemented
- Platform is checked for GDPR compliance
- Platform staff is organized and able to handle basic activity
Stage
...
4 (Access Beta)
This will also be a large stage, and is primarily marked by interactions and dialogue with users to understand needs and prioritize and fix platform shortcomings. There will not be a stable “production” during this time, instead it will be used to ensure that users are able to perform the work they are accustomed to.
...
- Enable the general userbase to create new accounts and link their Wikidot accounts
- A site migration order should be agreed on for the Gamma stages
- Platform staff is organized and able to handle day-to-day activity

5 (Migration Alpha)
Unlike “alpha” and “beta”, the word “gamma” is not often used in release terminology. Here it will refer to the migration period for the platform, that is, when Wikidot sites start moving over for real to use Wikijump as their new permanent home. It is expected that this will come with a number of operational and logistical difficulties, so it will start with smaller sites and those with fewer requirements. The stage will be marked with dialogue and work with these early platforms to ensure their workflows and needs are accounted for.

- Assess all open issues to determine prioritization
- Discuss extension projects like Cogwork

6 (Migration Beta)
After all the early issues have been worked out, this release stage will be the bulk of the migration effort. Most of the large and heavily used sites will be migrated during this stage, and there will be a significant but gradual period as the bulk of Wikidot site activity begins moving over.

7 (Migration Done)
This stage consists of the remaining sites being migrated, after most of the issues have been resolved and continued movements are incremental. Focus will be on cleanup, preparing for the Delta period, and ensuring that all of the site participants are safely off of Wikidot without any remaining data.

- All sites are migrated to Wikijump

8 (Stability)
Here, we work to pay down collected bug and operational issues, and determine priority for new feature work. Following this point, a new release system should be decided on to track continued development and migration work. For instance, a month-duration sprint system could be put in place in Jira to group each set of changes.
