[opensuse-wiki] Documentation could use a refresh
by Helen 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

I notice a lot of the Buildservice documentation is getting a little bit dusty. Most of the distributions referred to as examples are over a year old. I know that often people do want to build on older distros, but - For me as a user, that makes me doubt the currency of the page, and worry that maybe things are outdated. If you think it's a good idea and have some spare time, it might be nice someone could take a look and freshen up a few pages. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Tips_and_Tricks http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_cross_distribution_howto Also is the Roadmap up to date? http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Roadmap Many thanks!!

http://en.opensuse.org/Category:Team_pages http://en.opensuse.org/Category:Teams Hello, why is there a separate category Team pages in addition to the existing category Teams? Should they be merged in [[Category:Teams]] (or [[Category:Team]])? The only project related object that may be not be "Team pages" but only team releated project pages I see in [[Category:Teams]] is the [[Category:Boosters]] http://en.opensuse.org/Category:Boosters -- Regards Martin (pistazienfresser) - openSUSE profile: https://users.opensuse.org/show/pistazienfresser -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] need to migrate/place wiki pages for Smart Cards
by Stanislav Brabec 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hallo. I am maintaining Smart Card packages. There were two dedicated pages for it: http://en.opensuse.org/Smart_Cards http://en.opensuse.org/Smart_Cards/Advisories The latter URL was used in external links (security advisories). It is possible to migrate them back or should be there any name space changes? -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Removing empty comment delimiters
by Rajko M. 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

When you see something like this in templates: </div></div><noinclude> Please do not remove comment delimiters  . Their purpose is to remove new line that will otherwise appear in page where template is included, but still keep template source text readable. The same is valid for Portal page template. Comment delimiter position is not accidentally right after </div> and extends to next <div>. It has the same purpose as the one in templates. It is nice when there is some text, like: ....</div><div> .... but even without they are not forgotten garbage, but set to keep new lines to appear in target page, and spoil layout. I just cleaned up a bit http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick from such extra empty lines, that was not possible to see in the page source text. This page needs rewrite as text is good example how it should NOT be written. One line Linux instruction, next windows, and that is supposed to be text for people that are used to read plain text, not a program code. -- 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] Your SEO Aims for Wiki and other documentation.
by Helen 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Regarding the meeting discussion on SEO, which AFAIK was rather unresolved. I use SEO principles every day so have a few thoughts on the matter, but first I want to clarify what the aims and constraints for openSUSE are. I'm not familiar with Wiki software, so my Main question is: With the wiki, is it possible to add meta title, keywords, description to individual pages or are you talking about one wiki-wide set of data? And are there any other serious constraints to optimizing the Wiki? (conventions?) Secondly, what is the AIM of optimizing the Wiki - and other documents (news, blogs). Is it - 1) make it easier for people to find the openSUSE pages they are looking for? (for example, make sure that someone searching for OBS step by step finds the right documentation) or 2) bring more traffic, and generate interest in openSUSE by optimizing for non-SUSE-specific topics? (so that someone searching for 'linux virtual server' finds an openSUSE page) Of course both are possible! I've sent this query to both wiki and marketing lists, as SEO can be considered when writing ANY documentation that will be published. It is not the mysterious black art that expensive webpreneurs would like you to think it is. It is a very simple, clear and easy process. Obviously for best results a bit of time needs to be invested, but even for a quick blog post it's possible to spend a few moments considering the SEO. I'll have some more detail on that soon, but first I'd like to hear what you are hoping to get out of the SEO process, how you see it fitting with our aims. World domination is certainly an option.... cheers Helen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org
