[opensuse-wiki] Pages not reviewed/migrated yet
by Frank Sundermeyer 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hi, FYI: in the process of updating the openSUSE documentation for 11.3, I reviewed all links pointing from our books to en.o.o . During that process I found some valuable articles on en.o.o which haven't been migrated or even reviewed that. Unfortunately I do not have the time to migrate them myself, therefore I have listed them at http://wiki.opensuse.org/Help:Todo under "specific pages" so they do not get lost. -- 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(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Plan Status?
by Klaas Freitag 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hi, I have a question regarding the current plan and the status of the Wiki migration. If I remember correctly the plan was to switch to the new english (and the german?) wiki before 11.3 comes out, is that still the plan? When looking at the Todo-Page at [1] one still finds a lot of free spaces in the list in the "Who"-Column. Is the list up to date? Or does that matter at all? It would be great if the Wiki Team could clearify on this a bit because I think the new wiki is quite important for a nice 11.3 "Party" and it would be good to know about the facts there. Thanks, Klaas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Re: Scripts in the Wiki Template

I did not work on that, but basic idea is to fetch numbers automatically, and to automatically fill in Weekly news, by replacing $VARIABLE with actual value. I CC this to wiki list, so that people there can see and help. What is the idea? To have stats that are published in each Weekly news automatically updated. For instance, use variables in wiki text and fill in values every week before publishing. ==openFATE Team ===Statistics=== Total: $OPENFATE_TOTAL $OPENFATE_TOTAL_DIFF Unconfirmed:$OPENFATE_UNCONFIRMED $OPENFATE_UNCONFIRMED_DIFF New: $OPENFATE_NEW $OPENFATE_NEW_DIFF Evaluation: $OPENFATE_EVALUATION $OPENFATE_EVALUATION_DIFF Candidate: $OPENFATE_CANDIDATE $OPENFATE_CANDIDATE_DIFF Done: $OPENFATE_DONE $OPENFATE_DONE_DIFF Rejected: $OPENFATE_REJECTED $OPENFATE_REJECTED_DIFF Duplicate: $OPENFATE_DUPLICATE $OPENFATE_DUPLICATE_DIFF There are similar stats for bugzilla, forums and mail lists. There is solution that script will load all stats in one article weekly and then we can substitute it to the Weekly news article itself, just before release. The other is to work on weekly news text directly. Substitution is similar how templates work (transclusion), but it is permanent change to the wiki text. The syntax is {{subst:Some_article}} . So we need ideas how this can be solved the easiest possible way. -- Regards Rajko, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Extension SelectCategory
by Rajko M. 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

It is not ready for the wiki like ours. * It is hard to browse the list of categories. It is not sorted in any way. It seems as alphabetic with some tree elements. * It is not possible to search list of categories. Browser search does not work there. * It removes already included categories from wiki source text forcing editor to browse, or to open the page in another window to see what, in the hell, was there before. There is no listing of categories in preview. * Adds a lot of lines that one has to skip to get to the Preview button. Simple operation to move "Category:Wiki conventions" from Category:Wiki to "Category:Wiki help" is now: 1) Edit 2) Scroll, scroll, ........,scroll, cool down a finger, then again scroll --- or Page Down up to 20 times --- or move slider up and down until you find 1 checkmarked box 3) Uncheck Category:Wiki 4) Check Category:Wiki help 4) Don't do anything else except save otherwise behavior is not defined. If that is enhancement then I don't know how to name hurdle. I'm really losing motivation to do any editing with help like this. -- Regards Rajko, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Question for Using Links
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hello Mates, for the Weekly News actually we're using for Links inside the actual Page: * [[#Rajko Matovic: Wiki: change postponed| Wiki change postponed]] or * [[#Announcements| Announcements]] If i export this and import this to news.opensuse.org, and i click on the Link, a Webbrowser opens and route me to the Wikisite. How can i modify the Links that it works normally as "inside" Link in news.opensuse.org? -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns open-slx GmbH openSUSE Community & Support Agent openSUSE Marketing Team Blog: http://saigkill.wordpress.com Web: http://www.open-slx.de (openSUSE Box Support German) Web: http://www.open-slx.com (openSUSE Box Support English)

[opensuse-wiki] About macedonian translation on wiki
by Nedin Ametovski 26 Jun '10

26 Jun '10

Hello, Some time ago I started to translate the wiki on macedonian, but I had some private problems and had to cancel. But now I have a lot of time and want to fully devote myself to the translation. My question is should start translating the en.opensuse.org or to start on the new wiki.opensuse.org?

[opensuse-wiki] RFC:Wiki.o.o and en.o.o switch
by Rajko M. 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

Currently it is set to make switch on July, 12th. It is probably better to do that earlier, to have time to fix links. Or we can change plan and keep wiki.o.o as a new wiki. That will underscore: * that is a new wiki with a new arrangement, * there will be no problems with links - all that we have to do is to blank and protect articles that are moved to wiki.o.o leaving only {{TransferNote| }} there. Keeping dual status for much longer where everyone adds articles on both wikies linking all around the web both will create more problems with dead links than we can afford. -- Regards Rajko, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org
