[Bug 270092] New: opensuse.org wiki does not point to downloadable software packages
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=270092 Summary: opensuse.org wiki does not point to downloadable software packages Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: wiki AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jw@novell.com QAContact: adrian@novell.com One goal for the wiki at opensuse.org should IMHO be to provide assistance or guidance with the software package available for openSUSE. The wiki fails this goal in several ways: a) the search engine never returns software packages. http://en.opensuse.org/Wishlist_Productivity is found, but there is no positive list. b) The link "download" in the left sidebar, points to Novell's openSUSE releases only. http://software.opensuse.org/download/ is not mentioned there. c) The link "build service" points to http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service This details the internals of the buildservice, but has no hint, where software built with the build service might be. I strongly suggest to consider the following improvements: I) The results page of the search engine should list http://software.opensuse.org next to 'For more information about searching openSUSE, see Searching openSUSE.' II) http://software.opensuse.org/ should have its own search engine (available without login) if searching the software repositories cannot be integrated in the wiki search engine. III)Encurage wiki users to try http://www.google.com/search?q=site:software.opensuse.org+<package_name> IV) Maintain an automated wiki-page that lists the entire contents of http://software.opensuse.org/download/ -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

In which case having those options available above might be a good idea. In general mediawiki's search really seems to suck (I repeatedly get complaints about this when I tell users to post on openSUSE.org); perhaps the solution might be using Google's search, since openSUSE.org seems to have a pretty high page rank now and it's well-indexed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=270092 ------- Comment #2 from jw@novell.com 2007-05-02 07:58 MST ------- I should have mentioned packages.opensuse-community.org in the initial comment.
