[opensuse-wiki] clicky - ki - yay when editing a page ?
by Susanne Oberhauser 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

Hi, possibly an FAQ, do we have any plans to improve the login sequence when editing a page? When you are not logged in and you request to edit a page, the wiki detects you are not logged in and asks you to log in. Then you have to click to 'log in', actually do the log in (possibly type, for sure click), then click on 'return to page...' and then click on the edit link again. http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=sometitle&action=edit It seems doable to reduce that to just one additional click: http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php?title=GombleFrobbleNew&action=ed… Can we possibly get the same in our wikis?

[opensuse-wiki] search engines, indexes and sdb
by jdd 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

I wonder if there is not a problem with the wiki search. Trying to manage the infos about wifi/wlan, I notes that searching for "wifi" or "wlan" doesn't return most of the relevant pages one can find through categories this is not only true for new pages (what can be only a delay problem), but also for older ones. Specially it seems than SDB pages are nearly not indexed, neither by google. For example I noted at least three nearly identical pages about ndiswrapper, but none was so easy to find is this a general problem? no robot.txt forgotten somewhere??? jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2007/10/27/127022-Claire-Dodin-une-Toulousa… --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Skin for build.o.o - some little improvement needed
by Rémy Marquis 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi all, First, thanks to Frank Sundermeyer (and all other contributors, of course) for the nice new design for every part of opensuse.org. It's looking really really nice :) But I think that build.o.o needs some (little) improvements : - The logo's cell is misaligned with the left menu, there is a big "blank space" between logo and the gray header "Create it". - The main menu box is different from en.o.o and d.o.o : > Get Software - vs - Download > openSUSE Wiki - vs -Wiki > Build Software - vs - Build Service Is it possible to change b.o.o labels to be the same as the wiki and download page ? And there is the same issue for community wiki ("Get It" and not "Get Software"). But I think I need to contact Francis Gionnaros or another member of opensuse-community's team to get it fixed... Another thing about Community Wiki : It would be really nice to add a 4th item in all sub-website in this "main" menu : Community Wiki. As the community wiki isn't officially linked with Novell because of some legally issues, I don't know if this is possible. Sorry if these issues were already discussed here. I've done a quick search in archives, but found nothing similar :) Btw, I'm a -noemail suscriber on mailinglist, as i'm most a reader than a writer here (this is my first mail on mailinglist here ^^), so i'm not able to answer correctly in the thread. Best regards, Rémy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Please delete /dev/null in german wiki
by Lars Vogdt 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

Hi German Wiki Admins I've misleadingly tried to delete a page which was created just as temporary solution: as on my PC I tried to move it to "/dev/null" ... But this doesn't really help, if you can see at: http://de.opensuse.org/Kategorie:Bildungswesen There is a page called /dev/null and I can't do anything to remove it :-( Can you help me, please? Thanks in advance, Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] help/support performance
by Sven Burmeister 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Hello! Please perform the following experiment: Take somebody you know and never has been to www.opensuse.org before. Tell him to find help/support on that site. Stop the time until the user finds the links to help/support. My guess: it takes ages to even get to the page where one could find it because the frontpage does not even mention support/help and wiki is not a synonym for those words. Take the same person and stop the time until he finds help/support on www.ubuntu.com. Compare both sites' performance. Tell that person that one has to click on wiki, stop the time until the person finds help/support on the following page. My guess: it takes ages because help is only mentioned once and as a tiny, tiny link and that link does not even link to helo/support but to download-help. Sorry to be that sarcastic, but one could think that opensuse.org maintainers do not expect a lot of users to come to this site looking for help. My suggestion, put a big fat icon on the frontpage and the following that displays a question-mark and a link below it that states: help/support. In fact help on opensuse.org is artificially split into communicate and documentation both not being as straight forward as a simple big icon and the two words/help/support.

In wiki fast search does not work, in top of page, when I type a required word , for example, "Template" and I press <Search> I get on page http://en.opensuse.org/Template as though has pressed <Go>. <Search> and <Go> work equally. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Wiki maintainers wanted
by Martin Lasarsch 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Hi, I hope i will reach more people on this list. Most wikis are very well maintained, thanks for that. Unfortunately some are not. Especially vi, es and is are not really up to date (last time i checked). No, i don't want to blame the maintainers, sometimes it's just lack of time ... If you are interested to join the wiki translation team, subscribe to opensuse-wiki for more information. If you work in a team it's not that much work to keep a few pages up to date. Thanks! reply to: is set to opensuse-wiki -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) martin.lasarsch(a)suse.de - http://www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org
