Hello, I'd like to suggest some improvements in the handling of meetings in the wiki. The current way has 3 pages: - $date-status-meeting - $date-status-meeting-minutes - $date-status-meeting-transcript I'd like to see only 2 pages: - $date-status-meeting - $date-status-meeting-transcript and have the minutes on the $date-status-meeting page. Currently, the $date-status-meeting page starts with "This meeting [...] will be held at $date_in_the_past" (which looks outdated, BTW - change it to "... was hold at ..."). The page content mostly consists of the Agenda, which is repeated in the minutes in any case (or even could be removed because the "Contents" box contains it ;-) Having the minutes on the $date-status-meeting page would be a more obvious way. If I open the $date_in_the_past-status-meeting page, I expect to see a summary of the meeting. Currently, there's just a small link to the minutes that could be overlooked. Also, it would save a click ;-) Another question is if there should be a common namespace for the meetings like Meetings:status:$date - but that's just a s/$date-status-meeting/Meetings:status:$date/ and therefore can be discussed independent of the 3 vs. 2 page question above. What do you think about my suggestion? Regards, Christian Boltz PS: If there's nobody who has too much time ;-) I will do the changes in the wiki - but let's discuss if and how it should be done first. -- Ich springe so oft aus dem Fenster, daß ich ein schnurloses Telefon habe.

I would like to see this. I spent a lot of time trying to figure-out where everything was and to see what happened. It was not really clear to me when you do a search on IRC or IRC Meetings. I really like this idea.

Yes, I like this idea.

What do you think about my suggestion?
I like all your suggestions.

You can already change the future to the past tence. As a sidenote: What I do is just do things on the Wiki and then later see if people like it or not. As most people are IT-people, they tend to be able to discuss and discuss without ever taking a real discussion, because somebody always believes it could be done better in another way. ;-) houghi -- Meeting, n.: An assembly of people coming together to decide what person or department not represented in the room must solve a problem.

As there was nobody against it, I finally moved the minutes to http://en.opensuse.org/2006-01-24-status-meeting and http://en.opensuse.org/2006-02-07-status-meeting On http://en.opensuse.org/2006-01-24-status-meeting-transcript I also added a note "This is the transcript of the 2006-01-24-status-meeting." so that people that "accidently" find the transcript find their way back to the minutes. http://en.opensuse.org/2006-02-07-status-meeting-transcript is protected. Could one of the admins add This is the transcript of the [[2006-02-07-status-meeting]]. please?

Also done.

*g* I don't want a second forum discussion ;-) However, my changes took some time and I wanted to be sure that nobody simply undoes it...

Everything except the creation of the namespace, as it has no benefit, quite the opposite... Creating new namespaces has certain ramifications, as the pages then fall outside the implied Article namespace of normal pages, which means the pages will never appear on pages like: http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Popularpages http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Newpages There seems to be a current issue with teh page OpenSUSE:Browse, where the wiki thinks it doesn't exist and marks the link in red, even though it is there.
