The biggest problem for a newbie is navigating the wiki
in fact, better use the search feature - on my opinion, google search is even better (I setup one on my own page: http://fr.opensuse.org/Utilisateur:Jdd_sysop). I think the gentoo example you did are not better, far from, than our one, and you missed two important points here: gentoo is mush older than we are and I don't think there is really a sort of version number or distribution with gentoo (after all, we have to compîle all by ourselves) I don't think also gentoo is at all for newbies, we are.
As the wiki stands at the moment we have quantity over quality,
we have two sources: the suse book, very well organised but somewhat limited, and the wiki, made as it's writers do it. Don't think I underestimate your point. It's very important to have a well organised wiki, but all the previous tentatives failed (partly) In my opinion, we must have (and in fact we have) some "one subject by page" pages and "indexes" pages. Any too big a subject should be subdivised (subpages are a good way of doing so). And we can have as many indexes as the users need. One day or an other we will have a main page different from the one we have now (I don't say now) The center part will be organised by user categories or user needs, leading to corresponding indexes. For example: * by level: newbies, intermediate, experts * by need: before install, during install, after install, dealing with updates, desktop work, server work, refinig... and "using the wiki" because one can (as I did) make his own home page his index :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Lucien Dodin, inventeur http://lucien.dodin.net/index.shtml --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
