Sascha this is a good start but its still not completely right, sorry :) In the new wiki there is an overall layout of content. We are trying to do this so its easy for the readers to navigate the wiki and find what they are looking for. We are also trying to make sure that the wiki team will be able to maintain it, so the wiki stays that way for the readers. Because of that you have to give up your current structure. Its not enough to just move it around as a whole. You need to follow the rules laid out on http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:Wiki Let me explain in detail because i think the Weekly News are a perfect example of a topic that is pretty self-contained in the old instance. Using its own layout, its own way of navigation, its own style and so on and so on. Everything that makes the old wiki so hard to use as a reader, everything we want to change with the new wiki. The Weekly News (latest issue) is perfect content for the "product brochure" we are trying create in the main namespace. It's a nice way to show new people whats going on. So the latest issue should always be at http://wiki.opensuse.org/Weekly_news You are also a pretty vibrant team and every team should have its own page so people now what you do, who you are and how they can help you. So you need to split the team content, which is currently on your Portal into its own page. It should be in the projects namespace that is there to serve as collaboration space for the community. So your team things belong to http://wiki.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Weekly_news_team This is also the namespace where you can collaboratively work on the next issue. There are a lot of sub-pages you are moving around, and i don't understand all of them but i would suggest that you use http://wiki.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Weekly_news and sub-pages to do your work. You also have a lot of "old news" around that we don't want to show to the readers by default but we also don't want to throw away. We also have a place for this kind of content in the new wiki which is the Archive namespace. I would suggest you put old issues into http://wiki.opensuse.org/Archive:Weekly_news_# Now that you have all that content in the wiki you need to connect and pesent the whole topic somehow. The Portal is the tool to do that. It should be the place where one can point people that want to know what the weekly news are all about. You connect the latest issue with the Team, the working pages, the archive and the extra content like guidelines, resources, FAQ and so on that you have. So this is what belongs to http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:Weekly_news As you can see the wiki team has a plan on how we can present all the great content we have and it also fits for the weekly news. We have put a lot of thought into it and we believe that this is the way to make the wiki work so i would like to ask you to help us succeed. If you need further help you can always come to our irc channel (#opensuse-wiki) or write us on our mailinglist (opensuse-wiki@opensuse.org). So please try to understand the new wiki when you transfer content and follow the rules. Thanks in advance! Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

Nice to know that distribution presentation means also Weekly News. (btw, it is a title of our news, so "Weekly news" will not work) Also, the page name "Weekly News", not "openSUSE Weekly News" should be used within openSUSE project. I changed "Main Page" removing openSUSE from section titles. Visitor is on openSUSE wiki, so repeating openSUSE many times brings nothing interesting.

That is another touchy situation with capitalization. Is it "Weekly News team" or "Weekly News Team" depends on how we consider it, as a team name, or page name for team that deals with Weekly News. The same is valid for any other team in openSUSE, including Wiki team, but excluding Boosters, as that is the team name. It would be good to clarify that as soon as possible, so that we don't get both solutions applied in the wiki.
... I would suggest you put old issues into http://wiki.opensuse.org/Archive:Weekly_news_#
I'll try to do that, as time permits, and once done update links and post that here. I was in process to check experimental method to import pages exported from en.o.o to the Archive namespace in wiki.o.o, when Sascha announced his solution, so I quited work on that, but now that you brought up this, I'll continue. The idea is simple, change exported files to reflect new title, add whatever new navigation, templates and remarks, that are wanted, and import article to the new wiki.
