Jonathan_R requested that we introduce ourselves. I'm Mike (sometimes AKA confuseling), a one year or so Linux user, but a moderately technical computer user for many years. I don't have anything I'd call a 'specialism' yet, but my Linux uses include general netbook (eeepc) use and tinkering, word processing / spreadsheets / dtp / diagrams (mostly all related to my degree), a MoinMoin personal wiki I've set up for keeping notes on the same (so wiki syntax is at least vaguely familiar...), and quite a lot of mucking around with grub, trying various different distros. I'm also just starting to get back into coding, having learned a bit of C/C++ years ago, and now trying to learn Ruby on Netbeans (assuming it survives Oracle :( ). I'm also dabbling in LaTeX, but not sure how long that'll last... I'm a native English speaker, and am generally reckoned good with language - so I suppose I anticipate that, rather than anything technical, being my main use. Hello!

Nice to see you here Mike. You are the first one to introduce yourself using mail list. I've seen some forum nicks on the current en.opensuse.org wiki, so that is probably the introduction method they used. A native English speaker has important role on the wiki where majority of writers use English with various levels of proficiency and can't achieve clear and concise style all the time. (like me :) I guess that Wiki Team page needs bigger team section where we can list in a few words where we can help.

We will certainly need those proficient in English to check spelling and grammar, but we also need those proficient in Linux and in particular, openSUSE for the technical content. It takes a blend of people, with a blend of skills. While English is my native language, I am not one to proof read things for grammatical correctness or spelling. I am dyslexic, so things like that get me all confused. It's the technical part that I am good at. Mike, maybe you could do some writing on Notebooks and Netbooks. Since I don't own one yet, I have no experience with them. Maybe you could edit or add to http://en.opensuse.org/GRUB In my opinion, there is certainly room to add content there. However, before anyone does any editing or adding, please see either myself or spyhawk in IRC, so we can go over some details. I certainly appreciate all those who have joined, and Mike, I appreciate you taking the initiative to introduce yourself here on the mailing list.

I'm an excellent writer in English, although my fervent preference for the Strunk-White style and grammar sometimes puts me at odds with people who ought to know better :-). Though I've used unix for more than twenty years, and linux since 1997, I don't consider myself competent to instruct others, even newbies, in the uses and techniques of linux. I've been a user and occasional applications programmer only, never having had to learn either systems programming or systems administration beyond the minimum needed to build a safe and useful home system. So I see myself as useful in cleaning up English and maybe article organization of those more technically competent than I, and maybe checking and confirming the accuracy and appropriateness of articles whose subjects fall within the limited scope of my experience.

John, you might be surprised what you can contribute technically, but I/we are always glad to have more people bring shine and polish to the grammatical end, as it's the grammatical that helps to make the wiki look professional. I mean, if you have an article, and it's technically accurate, but the spelling and grammar are a mess, then that can cause people not to read it, and even consider it not credible. John, I am sure there are things that you do as an experienced UNIX/Linux user, but not just user, a home user, that would be beneficial to other home users. Maybe you don't have all the commands down. That's fine. I also know that there are ones that you do have, and are proficient at. Don't worry to much about the technical aspect, as I or another of the wiki team seniors will be happy to assist and mentor you and others in this endeavor. Think of this as an adventure, but also think of this as an awesome learning opportunity. We have a chance to broaden our horizons in what we know, and build a better wiki. It'll help us, and it'll help the community. I don't see a down side here. Respectfully Jon Rocker On Sat, Dec 19, 2009 at 19:48, John E. Perry wrote:

I forgot to mention that I'm also a fluent speaker of Italian (although my writing style will be very different from what you usually see written, since published Italian is very different from spoken Italian, at least within my wife's family), and read and speak French reasonably well. I see a number of French names on the list, so that may not be particularly useful, but... jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

anyway, shouldn't important details be covered in a persistent place where all can be directed to so that they may be read and digested at the helper's pace?

the reason i also quoted Rajko is because perhaps some of those questions being fielded in IRC should find themselves stored in and available to all in the same 'wiki team' place with instructions, 'some details' and a FAQ..

Well its good to see that you took an initiative to contribute to the wiki, and its not necessary to join the team and introduction is optional ( would be good if possible) .But yes until n unless you/anyone doesnt have a task assigned or is unclear of the motive , i would request not to start the work . As it would be the same thing like earlier 'we would land up in a mess'.So its better to have the basic idea on the 'how the things are carried out' or 'how it should be done' and then start the tasks.The IRC is the place where the wiki team members ( selected ones) will be conducting a mentoring session where all the interested contributors will be invited so to make the entire thing clear in there ( contributors) mind and then assigning task or any other method ( Check out Rupert's mail on this, for more info).After which certainly all the details or so called MINUTES will be presented to the ML . So we would have a definite place for the data to be stored :) .

Wiki is poor discussion medium that Wikipedia is trying to address with extension that will emulate basic functionality of forum. Mail list because its default communication mode uses threading so that is easy to find who answers to whom, which is useful to follow discussion. In this case it is also added benefit of list dedicated to openSUSE Wiki maintenance discussions and nothing else, so it should be easier to find related threads. Disadvantage of ML, and NNTP access to forums, is that one can see only Subject line which slows down reading, as every message has to be opened. Also text only mode is making habit to use text when image can tell much more with lesser effort. Forums would be ideal if somehow one can have thread on left side of the browser window, and messages on right, like Google groups. Transcripts have all properties of the text only communication that is good for people familiar with a topic, but when outsider reads it, it probably looks like hieroglyphs on the wall. FAQ is good medium to fast introduction to certain topic, but people have learned from many posted on the web that they are not priority to read. They are more often AFAQ (anticipated FAQ) then real questions asked by users, and commercial entities don't include answers on troubleshooting questions in the FAQ, as it spoils rosy image of their product or service. We have some of directions (guidelines), but that is one of things that we develop and sort in openSUSE namespace: http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Special:AllPages&from=&to=&namespace=4 Some of those pages belong to Help namespace, some will be obsoleted in the new wiki at http://wiki.opensuse.org , like any staring with Checked as we have FlaggedRevs extension that will do all we need. The IRC is a good way to exchange short messages when working on something. Does this <link> looks good? What to do with <link>? In general IRC is good for cases where one wants/needs fast info exchange that has not value later, so no need to archive anything. -- 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

lol. You're not the only one chomping at the bit. I am to. You are correct sir. There were no previous places to do introductions, and the mailing list is perfect for it, as it gives the entire team to get to know everyone. So thank you. The IRC session can be worked this way, either come on in, since we are obviously both online, and I can do a one on one, or wait till the "official" one. As to discussing articles, by all means. Pick out articles that interest you, and then please start a thread in the mailing list, so we can all be apart of it.
