Stencil:Roadmap

This page is a way to outline + plan what's coming next for this wiki. It is primarily used internally among the developers and active editors of this project (acting as a broad to-do list), but can be shared publicly to share what's in the pipeline.

Architecture

Area	Title	Description	Status	Launch (Goal)	Lead
(All)	Style PageForms	PageForms are largely unstyled and unresponsive, they need to have better styles applied to them, both to improve readability and match existing site design standards.	On-deck	TBD	User:George Wietor
Places	Document form	Populate detailed information about using Form:Place onto Help:Using the place form. Link this help page onto the form itself and add light information (e.g. tooltips + descriptions) into the form itself. Also build out the form page before a place is selected.	On-deck	1/24/25	User:Robertbaxter
Places	Update form inputs	Based on the walkthrough at the riso gathering in Milwaukee (Jan. 2025) I want to update some field types to make them a little easier to parse (dropdowns + radios instead of comboboxes, etc.).	On-deck	1/24/25	User:Robertbaxter
Places	Help/info in footer	Link the places help page(s) into the footer (or other nav bar) on places pages.		TBD
Events	Finalize instance definition	All upcoming events and new events added will use the instance model (past events may still be on the legacy model)—need to make sure that the field defintions for instances are robust/final.	In-progress	8/24/25	User:Robertbaxter
Events	Resolve conflicts between old events + instances	For the time being (until migration is complete) past events will not be stored in instances, however they must still exist as event pages. The Form:Event and Template:Event both have to be written to support both of these structures.	In-progress	8/24/25	User:Robertbaxter
Events	Re-import past events	Depending on how the conflict between old events/instance is resolved, we may need to re-import events (might be unnecessary though).	On-deck	8/24/25
Events	Switch event list to instances	Change the upcoming event listing on Events to pull from instances.	On-deck	1/24/25
Events	Update upcoming events to instances	Update all upcoming events to use instances.	On-deck	1/24/25
Events	Update 'all' events to instances	Update all past events to the instance model as well—includingconsolidating repeating events onto a single page.	On-deck	TBD

Resources

Multiple resource pages need to be migrated from the old wiki along with resources that Anemone and Robert Baxter will shift from personal blogs + notes + threads into pages on here. Many of these will take the form of Category:Tutorials but there might be other resource types as well.

Title	Type	Description	Source	Status
Moving a two-drum Risograph	Tutorial	A how to for moving 2-drum machines (especially securing the MMU)—also includes instructions for disassembling a Riso to decrease its weight for stairs.	[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]	Draft
Fix thermal-pressure motor lock	Tutorial	Instructions for swapping out the TPH gear on Z+ machines—this article is being adapted from an article written by Martin (RISOFORT) for the old wiki which focused on two-drum machines.	[6]	Draft
Reprogramming a drum color	Tutorial	Original is "Riso MZ - Ink Color Codes," written as a tutorial on reprogramming a drum—I think we generalize this and extend past MZ, with a table with codes for all models.	[7]
Adapting E/F/FII ink tubes for older machines Ink tube transfer	Tutorial	From "3d Printable Tab to use E series ink in GR machines" + " How-to: Transfer Ink from one tube to another"—generalize and include the tube transfer method as a section?	[8] [9]
Cleaning a GR/FR drum Cleaning an RP/RN drum Cleaning a Z+ drum	Tutorial	Consolidating and expanding multiple partial articles from the old wiki, but splitting into different types of drums (as that's the functional difference point). I think this should pair with a Transitioning a drum which has a section for the forced transition and one for the cleaning approach, the latter of which links to these.	[10] [11] [12] [13]
