[opensuse-wiki] Interwiki redirects
by Nikolay Derkach 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Hello, I have a question regarding redirects. Redirects like "#redirect [[Documentation]]" works fine, when I go to this page I'm automatically redirected to the right one, whereas redirects to other openSUSE wikis seem not to work as expected. Just an example: http://ru.opensuse.org/Участник:Mlasars This page contains "#redirect [[:en:User:Mlasars]]", but when I come to this page I don't _automatically_ get to the corresponding http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mlasars, I have to click on a link! Please confirm or not whether it's wrong, then I'll file a bug. -- Regards, Nikolay Derkach

[opensuse-wiki] Title style in wiki
by Rajko M. 14 Apr '07

Here is an idea for section title ie. the one that has == tags. http://en.opensuse.org/GIMP Is it any better readable than old style without color? -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Web design consolidation - please comment
by Frank Sundermeyer 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

Hi, at the moment we have got four main openSUSE webserver http://<LANG>.opensuse.org/ (Wikis) http://build.opensuse.org/ (Build Service) http://download.opensuse.org/ (Download Distribution) http://software.opensuse.org/ (Repositories) and http://www.opensuse.org/ as a splash screen for the wikis. Unfortunately the web servers have no common design (Wikis, Build Service) or no design at all ;-) (Download, Repositories). We would like to harmonize the design of all these web servers, so it is always very clear that one is surfing on an openSUSE page - regardless of what server is visited. We would also like to make http://www.opensuse.org/ the single entry point for all openSUSE web servers, not only for the Wiki. A web design that can be used on all openSUSE servers has to be very flexible. Our designer Robert Lihm has made a proposal that we would like to discuss with you: http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/ This directory contains two mockups (Wiki home page, Wiki content page) and a color palette. We chose the wiki as a base because this is the web server you are probably most familiar with. Nevertheless, this is no final proposal how the wiki should look like in the future (this will be subject of further discussions), but rather a presentation of the concept in a familiar context. So, for now, we would like to discuss the overall concept and not the context or whether the wiki links should be on top or at the bottom of the page ;-)). The proposal basically only consists of different boxes, being the building blocks in a construction set. Such a concept offers us the flexibility we need to use it for all openSUSE servers (this is especially true for the Build Service). So, please tell us whether you like it or not, whether you have got suggestions for improvement, or ... .

[opensuse-wiki] http://en.opensuse.org/Novell_Supported_Projects - Dull!
by Magnus Boman 11 Apr '07

Hello wiki lovers! I think that http://en.opensuse.org/Novell_Supported_Projects is a bit dull... I would like to do two things with it; 1. I would like to add a logo next to the project name which will indicate that the project is initiated by Novell/SUSE/Ximian 2. I want to remove the table and use a different style I've created a mockup which you can see here; http://en.opensuse.org/User:MBoman#Mockup_for_a_new_Novell_Supported_Projec… I have asked some artist for a logo which contain all three brands (ie. Novell, SUSE and Ximian) to replace the 'N' currently used... What do you guys think? Thanks, Magnus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

My main problem that there was WAY too much going on for a home page of a site. New users want just the few vital links, and I think you've done it pretty nicely there :). A few things: * I think the front-page will either have to have some type of text/graphic openSUSE banner, or have a bigger openSUSE logo. As it is now it's a little tucked away in the top-left corner. * I'm wondering about 'Discover it'. Perhaps that whole thing should be changed to a Support one, where the support page links to Documentation and Community-related support areas (IRC, Forums; basically, Communicate page). Or maybe "Wiki" should be changed to "Documentation"? I'm not really sure. * Also, I'm not sure that the countrycode is necessary before the actual language. i.e. so just have "English" instead of "en - English". * With regard to the OBS, I'm not sure we want all standard users to have the 'create it' thrown at them, since creation of packages etc is only for developers. Maybe that should be changed to a 'Participate' or "Get Involved" etc which in turn would have all the methods of getting involved (packaging, documentation, artwork, etc). I realise a lot of these questions might not be your specific problem/issue if you're the graphic designer, but I've mentioned them for any others making the decisions here. 8) Anyhow, nice stuff 8) Kind thoughts, Francis. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello again! I've updated my mockup (http://en.opensuse.org/User:MBoman#Mockup_for_a_new_Novell_Supported_Projec…) with a new image. If there's no objections, I'll convert the current page according to my mockup.
