[opensuse-wiki] Terms SuSE, SUSE Linux, etc
Hi, just stumbled upon http://en.opensuse.org/SuSE_install_from_USB_drive It does not use the term "openSUSE" but rather SuSE Linux or just SuSE. I think we should change such terms to openSUSE when reviewing articles. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, Technical Writer, Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.opensuse.org/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

and the Wiki Guidelines agree, see: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Wiki_Style_Guidelines#openSUSE_spelling there are other guides there and in http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Wiki_Guidelines on the other hand [this *was* covered a few weeks ago on this list] there may be historical references in which both the variations you quote _might_ be correct...certainly there is only one correct way to present the name in directions aimed at currently supported versions.. by the way (to anyone reading) i see that the cited page has been marked "reviewed" and meeting quality guidelines....i decided that despite the "mentoring sessions" this review process is ineffective after i stumbled across many "reviewed" articles between christmas and the first week of January which didn't come close to meeting the guidelines...and, i lost interest in the project, quickly. and, have decided to channel the time i have available to the forums...there is SO little experience there.. </sigh>DenverD -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

on the other hand [this *was* covered a few weeks ago on this list] there may be historical references in which both the variations you quote _might_ be correct...certainly there is only one correct way to present the name in directions aimed at currently supported versions..
I second this. Does this answer your question, Frank?
by the way (to anyone reading) i see that the cited page has been marked "reviewed" and meeting quality guidelines....i decided that despite the "mentoring sessions" this review process is ineffective after i stumbled across many "reviewed" articles between christmas and the first week of January which didn't come close to meeting the guidelines...and, i lost interest in the project, quickly.
Thanks for your feedback. May you please provide URLs to reviewed pages that are not conform with the defined standards from your perspective? I'd like to look through these. Thanks, R
and, have decided to channel the time i have available to the forums...there is SO little experience there..

Rush to have everything moved before we have a more detailed plan is not good. I don't say final plan, as there is no such thing, but few more details, more in another email. Remi and Shayon, did a good job, but there are still things to discuss. DenverD already complained that text of template: http://en.opensuse.org/Template:InReview ----------- This article is under review! The contents are currently being evaluated and edited by [[User:{{{1}}}]]. Others should not make any changes. Thanks for the cooperation. ----------- That is not collaboration. Telling "don't touch" is counterproductive and it is bringing results. In my opinion expected. The best results we achieved talking on the IRC and editing. All we did on IRC in that regard was to say "I make changes" to avoid editing collisions, where the same article is edited by two editors at the same time, but fast feedback made work on templates much faster then it will be using classic channels. I took message "Others should not make any changes" as relative, and if needed edited what was missing, but other obviously didn't and left. DenverD is the only one that told that. -- Regards Rajko, openSUSE Wiki Team: http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team People of openSUSE: http://en.opensuse.org/People_of_openSUSE/About -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
