We are slowly increasing our number of Wiki contributors.
I would like to raise the topic of Wikiportals as used on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Portal and ownership of an area of the wiki.
Basically a portal is like a main page but it is on a particular topic, and the idea is that it has a maintainer.
So for example somebody who has an interest in Wi-Fi might create a Wi-Fi portal. The portal would organise everything about Wi-Fi in some structured way. Eg it would link to the appropriate HCL pages, ndiswrapper howtos, etc etc. The maintainer can identify missing pages and also duplicates, they can make sure that the existing pages cover the topic appropriately. It is the old divide and conquer technique.
Some other Portals might be a Virtulization Portal, YAST Portal, or anything else that someone is interested in, and SUSE related.

This is a very good idea, already somewhat used: main pages (pages with sub pages) and even the pages linked from the sidebar are some sort of portals. Anyway, i don't see there is really any necessity to organise (yet) the portals as Wikipedia do, just create the portal page and go on :-) one of the wiki interest is the ability to have many entrypoints suited to each user point of view :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-help@opensuse.org
