Team,

as most of you know: last friday, I interviewed Martin Gräßlin from
ubuntuusers.de on IRC about their experiences with the maintainability
of a sandboxing concept. They use such an approach successfully for
their wiki and I was curious about some input. That said, today I got
an email from ubuntuusers.de's march asking for collaboration between
wiki.ubuntuusers.de and the openSUSE Wiki. Please see his email (and
an english translation) below.

Rupert,
you contacted us asking about our wiki and sandboxing concept. If you
feel this appropriate we may meet on IRC with our respective teams at
some point in time. Maybe we can discuss even further ways of
collaboration-potential. We like the idea to profit from each other
from a content perspective. Obviously there are differences in
Installation and Configuration between Ubuntu and openSUSE but
articles about the general use of applications may be just the same
and can be utilized by both groups/communities. That way, we may
collaborate by copying articles from A to B with a note that it is
originated from Site XY. In that regard it may be valuable to have
common ideas about e.g. structure, syntax, license etc. of articles.

We may start a survey at Doodle to find an appropriate time/date for
discussion with the teams on IRC. A collaboration would imho be
achievable and a good thing.

best,
march, wiki team

I'll reach out to march telling him that we'll discuss this
collaboration-idea team-internal and come back to him once we have a
team-opinion in place. I myself feel this as an opportunity we should
consider. From my perspective he's right, that articles about the
general usage of applications (like e.g. Thunderbird, Pidgin, etc.)
may be easily adjustable and thus can be utilized by both communities.

What do you think about it?

Best,
R
