[opensuse-wiki] Category Hierarchy Script
by Josh 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

I decided to start working on a script to scan the openSUSE wiki and print out the current category hierarchy. I had already notified Rajko of this via his talk page saying that I would probably not be able to work out the bugs for another 2 weeks. It turns out I am ahead of schedule! I have posted the output on my user page, http://en.opensuse.org/User:Last2kn0. I am considering putting this output side by side with the proposed categories in the openSUSE:Category_Hierarchy page. If someone would like me to post the script, I can also do that. This should help us keep an eye on how we are transforming what we currently have into what we proposed! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

[opensuse-wiki] Adding a HOWTOS link to the main site
by Malte Gell 20 May '08

20 May '08

Hello, I was just about to write a How-To when I discovered something pretty weird: on top of the main site, en.opensuse.org (and it probably applies to all other languages as well) there is no link to the How-TOs ( http://en.opensuse.org/Howtos ) The box "Discover It" contains only a link to the SDB. But, especially new users, what do you think they are they looking for... HOW TO do something... and there is no link to the How-TOs... So my proposal is to add a link pointing to http://en.opensuse.org/Howtos to the left box named "Discover It". Of course, the same could be done with all [LANG].opensuse.org sites. Regards Malte --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] No other Categoires allowed?
by Lars Vogdt 27 Apr '08

27 Apr '08

Hi Last2kn0 asks me to come up with my problem here on this list. So here I am.... ;-) Trying to summarize the background: The Education Team wants to categorize their applications into subcategories to get the following advantages: * Reduce the size of http://en.opensuse.org/Education/Applications/Desktop in the end we hopefully can create a portal like wiki page linking to the different sub-categories. * Use the same Categories as the freedesktop.org Standard suggests. So users who find an application (for example) in his Education -> Art desktop menu, can find the same application - and even more - in the corresponding wiki category ([[Category:Education Art]] in this example). In the result we will get around 17-20 new Subcategories. As Last2kn0 told me, this will not match with the current goal of the wiki team to reduce the categories. Second problem: As nearly every application can be used in an educational background, this needs adaptations to the current package descriptions in the wiki. We need to add the corresponding education category to applications like (for example) Audacity. As you can see: http://en.opensuse.org/Audacity will at least have one additional Category in the bottom of the page: "Education Art". Perhaps we can remove the "Education Applications" Category in the end - but this is currently no option for us. The main parts of the discussion can be found here: http://en.opensuse.org/User_talk:Last2kn0 and here: http://en.opensuse.org/User_talk:Lrupp As the education team wants to release the first version for openSUSE 10.3 in a few weeks, it would be fine if I can get a "final" decision from the wiki team if we can go on with our work or not.

[opensuse-wiki] Categories n-th time
by Rajko M. 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Template:Official_Class_Section gives me idea to create list of official categories that are monitored by wiki editors and list them in some way. Benefit is simple, if one wants to have article visible use official categories or include new category in the list. This might be the way to limit problem of potentially unlimited number of categories and still have everybody free to contribute articles in the way they want. The same is valid for Portal. Attempt to sort all articles by few wiki editors failed few times. I'll list in Portal page few portals that exist under that name, create or leave some that I'm interested in. All articles go in alphabetic index stretched over few pages. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] I need to contact the spanish wiki translators
by Gabriel 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

Hola, Soy uno de los miembros del equipo de traducción de la distribución, estoy buscando a quienes mantienen la wiki en español porque desde yast muchas veces se vincula a páginas de la wiki para obtener más ayuda, y lo mejor es vincular a la wiki en español, pero muchas veces estos artículos no existen. Por eso pensaba que sería ideal coordinar esfuerzos para que quede todo más homogéneo. -- Kind Regards

Hi, I think that this page needs to be linked from TOP or FAQ also for beginners. http://en.opensuse.org/About_openSUSE_Linux Although he thinks that it is very useful information, what do you think?
