[opensuse-wiki] Is it ok to use the wiki for "collaborative draft"?
by Rajko M. 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

This is one of answers written recently on a question from KDE team wiki editor. The answer is: There is no better place then the wiki. Be aware that current http://wiki.opensuse.org will become http://en.opensuse.org after July 12th, and vice versa ie. content of current en.o.o would be possible to find on wiki.o.o . The only thing that you should watch is to use as prefix to your articles "openSUSE:", similar to http://wiki.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Sandbox The "openSUSE:" is meta namespace allotted for openSUSE project and subproject articles (files), from team information, work files, rules of conduct and whatever we need to accomplish our tasks, so it is possible to use that for temporary files. Note that you have wiki in your hands and a need for temporary files should be minimal. Create page, work on it, and when you are satisfied with content then you are done. It is that simple. Your first draft of the page will be buried somewhere in the article history. Also I would consider to make use of categories. You and the team can create articles about KDE applications, and categorize them as: [[Category:KDE applications]] at the bottom of each article. To those that are defaults you can add additional: [[Category:Default KDE applications]] as a second tag right below the first one. That way you can link whole Category:Default KDE applications with <categorytree>Default KDE applications</categorytree> tags, from Portal:KDE in a right navigation panel. The same principle should be applied to any other group of articles. Get rid of manual indexes that run out of sync with real content very fast. IMO,<categorytree> is nice and easy and that is the main reason that wiki team insists on use of categories. -- Regards Rajko, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Default Icon Set Change
by Marcus Moeller 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

Hi all, I am working on the default icon set within the new infrastructure, which can be found here: http://wiki.opensuse.org/Help:Icons The icons are going to be re-worked according to the Bento style guide. Please note that the new icons will have a default size of 256px x 256px. You may have to add |$valuepx to the images you have included. Please use 48px for {{Point here| The next few days I am going to crawl the wiki and adjust pages accordingly. Custom icons will also be replace if there is a reasonable Tango styled alternative. -- Greets Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Icon Size -
by Shayon Mukherjee 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

Hi Wiki Squad, Well it seems like the icon sizes have increased , may be in order to bring in the tango effect :-) . Anyways I want to confirm one thing on my end, now that all pages showcase xxl icons , so will the changes be made to the pages (that is 48px) or to the icons ? Thanks ! -- Regards SJ (Shayon) openSUSE Member http://en.opensuse.org/User:wwarlock http://shayonj.wordpress.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] HCL:<article_name> is calling for a new namespace
by Rajko M. 12 Jun '10

12 Jun '10

Pavol started transition of HCL using colon as separator in the article title, which means articles are placed in the Main namespace, so we either create new name space now, before he moves more articles, or we will have whole HCL in the Main namespace. Third option is to use openSUSE:HCL:<article_name> which is kind of strange looking prefix for article titles. -- Regards Rajko, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] A small matter of style
by Andreas Jaeger 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

On http://wiki.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Weekly_news_team there's a members section with e.g. the editors in it. I like the information but I'm a bit confused about the style. the wiki code has just "* {{User|saigkill}} Sascha Manns (Editor in Chief Editor Main Newsletter)" which looks perfectly fine to me But the presentation is that "Sasch Manns etc." is displayed in a special box - like we display code. This looks strange to me. Can we change that? Looking at Template:User nothing stroke me as odd. Or is this really desired?

[opensuse-wiki] Wiki Project Management Handover
by Rupert Horstkötter 06 Jun '10

06 Jun '10

Community, as announced earlier this week, during the opensuse-project meeting on Wednesday, the launch of our new English wiki at wiki.opensuse.org has been postponed and we're now targeting the 12th of July as a public release date. The same applies to the German wiki instance at dewiki.opensuse.org, whereas no new official release date has been scheduled yet for this particular language wiki. Since the 1st of October 2009, I served as the Project Manager of these community efforts, sponsored by open-slx. From my very personal perspective, we achieved a whole lot so far with the Wiki Project and we're not too far away to present something really awesome to the openSUSE community. We reviewed the major parts of both the English and German wikis in order to meet the quality standards we defined, we put a lot of efforts into our new, for now temporary, wiki instances in order to improve the presentation of content and to make them a better place for both contributors and readers of openSUSE documentation resources. That said, I'm really looking forward to the final launch of the new wikis and I pretty much hope that the whole openSUSE community will feel them as a major improvement to what we had before we got started with this concept 8 months ago. Let me take the opportunity to thank everyone involved out of Novell, open-slx and the volunteering community (both out of the wiki and forum teams). It has been a pleasure to work with you. For me personally, it's the right time to step aside as I need to concentrate my workload on other open-slx projects. The release of openSUSE 11.3 is right around the corner and we currently have a tight schedule in order to come up with an awesome openSUSE Box Product. The major work with the Wiki Project is done from a Project Management perspective and thus I herewith handover the lead to my fellow Board collegue Henne in order to complete the wiki efforts from a technical/administrative perspective. That said, I'm certainly still available for Public announcement/Marketing fuzz tasks once the wikis are ready for general consumption (if desired by the team) but unfortunately I need to stop my active engagement as of today due to the announced release shift, the conflicting tasks due to the openSUSE 11.3 release and related open-slx internal tasks I need to take care of.

[opensuse-wiki] Q:Working of Lowercase title
by Shayon Mukherjee 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

Hello, I want to know , how does the Lowercase title works in the new instance (wiki.o.o). In en.o.o we had {{Lowercase title}} , Is it the same in new instance ? Also how do we change the name of categories (there was a code I remember) , like for http://wiki.opensuse.org/Category:OpenSUSE_project (the 'o'). P.S I ask this because template creation is not very much encouraged. -- Regards SJ (Shayon) openSUSE Member http://en.opensuse.org/User:wwarlock http://shayonj.wordpress.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Main name space:Distribution presentation
by Rajko M. 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

I just stumbled on http://wiki.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Tutorial . Build Service is important part of distribution and "Build Service tutorial" would fit nicely in Main namespace where application presentations and tutorials should find its place. (I guess that Tom is now looking for the heavy stone to smack such ideas before they become serious.) -- Regards Rajko, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org
