Hi Team, before officially announcing the new wiki instance (wiki.opensuse.org) there are still a few things to do or to clarify. see http://wiki.opensuse.org/Special:Version for details PLEASE: Do not start adding content to wiki.o.o, yet. Let's wait until everything is in place (hopefully some time this week). However, you are welcome to test the new wiki - please delete articles once you do not need them. I will delete every remaining article before we officially start. Preferred place for testing should be your user page (I will not delete pages in the USER namespace). 1. Sysop: ---------- I think Javier Jonathan Rajko Remy Rupert Shayon Sascha Spyhawk (I do not know the real name ;-)) should have sysop rights in the new wiki. Agreed? Have I forgotten someone? Since you have to have been logged in once, before I can make you sysop, please log in at http://wiki.opensuse.org/ ASAP. Once you have done so, drop me a note including your wiki login name. In case of problems logging in, please delete all opensuse cookies. 2. Home page: ----------------- Do you want to keep the right column or should I remove it? How should the wiki homepage be named? 3. Namespaces: -------------- ATM we have the same namespaces as on en.o.o (SDB / SDB_Discussion, FAQ, howto). Let me know if you want to keep these and which ones I should add. 4. FlaggedRevs ------------------ Configuration: Rajko, any hints/input from your side is welcome. CSS: I will try to adapt the CSS to our skin. User Rights: Who should have which permissions in FlaggedRevs? Please see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs#User_rights 5. Lucene Search ---------------- This is the only requested extension that is currently not installed. Adding this would require a considerable change to the server configuration. We have tested the SphinxSearch extension (Sphinx is even faster than Lucene). The only difference I noticed was an increase in speed. The search interface remains the same, and the result list is sorted a bit differently than with the standard wiki search. Apart from that, no changes. Honestly I do not see any benefits using an external search engine rather than performance (and that AFAIK has never been a problem). Whatsmore, the internal wiki search has improved, too, since MediaWiki 1.5.8 6. Use of Semantic MediaWiki ---------------------------- Has anything been decided on this topic? 7. Everything I missed ---------------------- If there is any other thing you need (configuration option, skin, css) let me know. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, Technical Writer, Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.opensuse.org/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
