[opensuse-wiki] Subpages
by Rajko M. 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

We should decide how to handle subpages ie. those like: HowTos/GNOME/ExtendingNautilus For little benefit of automatic back links (sometimes called bread crumbs) page title look like URL path which is not good layout. When someone moves page those back links mix with redirect back links making line that should help browsing, actually confusing. To see what I mean try this link: http://en.opensuse.org/HowTos/GNOME/ExtendingNautilus Page was moved to make HOWTO naming consistent, and now user has 2 links to follow. I propose to use subpages to one level depth as additional explanation to the main article, that user has to read and then go back to the main topic, and only in such cases where additional explanation is specific to main article. If it is about how to switch to root, that is used all over the wiki, so very much not specific it has to go to separate page. What do you think? -- 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

I remember after cleaning up KDE and GNOME categories Binner still wanted a way to view all articles related to KDE. This way anyone who would like to do this can just view all in that namepsace. I definitely think this is a change that should come into existence soon. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] GNOME and KDE should have their name spaces
by Rajko M. 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

I think that GNOME and KDE should have their name spaces, like SDB. They are large enough and they will grow. Title "GNOME:Extending Nautilus HOWTO" looks much better than "GNOME/Extending Nautilus HOWTO". Browsing all articles about GNOME would be as simple as providing link similar to one for SDB: http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=1… No need for categories. Stray cats will be easy to put in the cage with just one move from <something about GNOME> to GNOME:<something about GNOME> . This would resolve problem how to tag articles that belong to some large project. Categories are not really the best way. As both desktops related articles appear often this should be discussed fast and done as soon as possible to minimize amount of work to move articles in appropriate place. -- 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

Though the filename has KDE4 in it, when most people fire it up, they certainly will get a 'surprise', IMO. --- R a n d y G o d d a r d "It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue."

[opensuse-wiki] Suggestions for software.o.o
by Martin Schlander 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

I have two small proposals for software.opensuse.org regarding the live CDs. 1) It seems it's not clear to all people that the livecds are installable. I suggest to add "(installable)" after LiveCD in section 2, "Choose installation medium" 2) The link for the KDE CD says: "Live CD KDE (644 MB)", I suggest to change it to "Live CD KDE 4.0 (644 MB)". So noone will get nasty surprises.. even though the filename says KDE4. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] preperation for launch ...
by Martin Lasarsch 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

Hi I will start now to change the frontpages, download etc. pages on all wikis to point to openSUSE 11.0 instead of 10.3. I will rollback after it, so tomorrow another rollback will just do the thing ... Please don't make any changes in the meantime. If you are not sure if i touched the page look at the version history. If you are a sysop and want to help with the rollback, please come tomorrow in the opensuse-project channel. The final go for the release will be there. The planed time is 15:00 CEST ... -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) martin.lasarsch(a)suse.de - http://www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[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] Finding all Sub-Pages
by Bryen 16 Jun '08

16 Jun '08

Is there a way to find all sub-pages from a starting point? I've found that several pages under /GNOME/ didn't have the [[Category:GNOME]] tag added to it, and I want to be able to review all sub-pages that might have slipped through the cracks. Thanks. -- ---Bryen--- Let's rejoice a "There are no dumb questions" culture.

[opensuse-wiki] Creating Accessibility pages
by Bryen 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Hi, I'd like to set up an Accessibility section at http://en.opensuse.org/Accessibility. The main intent is to help bring together the various groups of a11y users/contributors/developers across our distribution to one place. We're in a bit of a quandary because many of us don't know the existence of the others. My question, looking at en.opensuse.org home page, how do we ensure that /Accessibility is visible so everyone is aware of its existence? -- ---Bryen--- Let's rejoice a "There are no dumb questions" culture.
