Nice work Bryen I suggest people to re-post this into local mailing lists so that the people that are not registered into Marketing ML to know about it. Kostas 2011/4/27 Bryen M. Yunashko :

Hey folks,

We have some useful redirects on our wiki that we should be aware of for marketing purposes.

opensuse.org/Upgrade  (You already know this one)

opensuse.org/Communication redirects to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Communication_channels

opensuse.org/Ambassadors redirects to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:/Ambassadors_list

opensuse.org/GNOME3 redirects to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_3.0

All of these redirects should be used instead of the full length URL when using in print (e.g. flyers, brochures, posters, etc.) because they will look cleaner.

Enjoy!

Bryen

Uhm.... I get it that you want shorter URLs but why do you circumvent the content separation in the wiki that is there for a reason? I would suggest that you point people in printing material to some general URL like en.opensuse.org or even www.opensuse.org and make sure that your content is discoverable in the wiki instead of re-introducing the mess we had in the old one. It makes little sense to invent tons and tons of URLs one has to remember to find content. For instance, how am I to get to the GNOME3 page if there are not links in the wiki to it. http://en.opensuse.org/Special:WhatLinksHere/openSUSE:GNOME_3.0 Fix things like this and make the wiki consistent instead of less consistent please.

I am convinced that if Henne were weather he'd be a rain cloud... hovering over a parade.

If Henne was a gun though he would be a Sniper Rifle "One shoot, one kill" ;-p He is right here, why not try it? What do you think Bryen? Spammer: What do you think on making a page on the wiki with openSUSE people with the phrase: If (name of someone from the project) was (whatever) he/she would be (whateverer) It would be fun I think.

Yeah I'd wish I wouldn't have to be :-/ But the wiki is developing into a real mood killer for everyone involved with it, including me. We have put in a lot of work to get things organized only to get yelled at and ignored. As you can see we're already on the way back into the dark ages where the wiki is only a undisciplined information dump. This not only hurts the people who came up with a nice concept but even more so our readers and therefor in turn the project. That troubles me indeed. Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.
