Hi all Bit new to this but as apokryphos has highlighted, the organization on the wiki is a little dis-jointed. There does need to be a joint effort and discussions regarding the issues. I highlighted to apokryphos what I found in just looking at yast I'll repeat here the same.
Starting with yast http://en.opensuse.org/YaST
First thing with a little google there's a place holder for this page http://en.opensuse.org/Start_the_YaST_Control_Center then we get to software section. I'm just lost does it really need every version hell why not add the older ones.
My suggestion is Online Update Setup, installation source, should link to a generic page that includes a merging of these. Or at least a logical follow out. Rather than the disorganization, by the way I stopped after 44 pages on google and had more to go, so I suspect there's more that fall into update and repos that I've yet to find.
You may try to see http://en.opensuse.org/Portal/All http://en.opensuse.org/Portal/OpenSUSE_Installation I didn't update them for a quite some time, but it is easier than looking on Google.
http://en.opensuse.org/Add_Package_Repositories_to_YaST http://en.opensuse.org/Add_a_Package_Repository_as_a_YaST_Installation_Sour ce http://en.opensuse.org/Adding_a_Package_Repository_as_a_YaST_Installation_S ource http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories http://en.opensuse.org/Install_a_Package_using_YaST_Software_Management http://en.opensuse.org/KDE http://en.opensuse.org/Software_Repositories http://en.opensuse.org/Updating_KDE_and_other_software_via_YaST http://en.opensuse.org/Updating_SUSE_Linux http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/YaST_Online_Update_-_10.0 http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/YaST_Online_Update_-_10.1 http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=YaST_Additional_Packages&action=edit http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Installation_Source And then even this which I think could be a little different but does highlight my point still http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Software_Management
All of the above could and should be merged in to several logical if not one page. If several then the initial pages need to follow a logical order.
There seems to be no structure on the wiki I'm more than happy to help, but as to how? Some pages marked as delete over a month a go still exist, some over a year ago. Its just lets keep adding and now its got to the point where finding the wheat in the chaff is to damn hard.
There shouldn't be repeats for each version tags need to be used if something is version specific the wiki has the option. Using my above suggestion what happens if you a newbie looking oh 10.2 isn't there but we know it is. If its talking about repos then lets wrap it into one generic page if we're including repos like jenglher etc then we might as well incorporate kde, both have the potential to break, why not also include xgl etc...
So as a plan of attack needs addressing the involved parties need to get involved lets talk on #opensuse-wiki get some feed back and try to put the gloss back on the wiki.
