Anyway we have the intention for a multimedia wiki page and a few interested users, one a developer of some of the apps we have in the two main multimedia devel projects and one that's focused on music production who is interested in creating a wiki focused on music production using openSUSE. I'm an active maintainer of multimedia apps and libs. Any suggestions, guidance or participation will be welcomed. Dave P

First the obvious: Portal:Multimedia http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Multimedia There is template available in drop down http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Multimedia/Intro Into section: In short what is multimedia (MM). Please be concise and put the most relevant info right in the beginning of the first sentence of the first paragraph. Web readers parse web pages for keywords and words that are right at the top left has the biggest chance to be read. Also, we would like to reuse that text in other pages in the way that templates work. Google will extract only one or two sentences out of the top of the article; try query "opensuse portal" and see what I mean. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Multimedia/Topics Topics: How do you plan to sort topics? Audio, Video, Graphics, or some other sort order? http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Multimedia/News News section: The best is to have RSS/Atom feed included there. Also, we did not use that section for announcements, but top can be used to announce meetings and other actions. The team introduction: Link to "openSUSE:Multimedia team" page somewhere in the topic section. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Multimedia/ TODO section: All that should be done related to MM project. If list is excessive create another page with title: "openSUSE:Multimedia TODO" and put link in TODO on portal page. Alternative is to list few easy tasks (those that need an hour or lesser) on TODO page, so that readers that want to participate have something to do, and add link to "openSUSE:Multimedia TODO" in the footer of section as "More..." . The right column is a narrow one and it is for navigation. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Multimedia/Navigation There you can put just link to wiki category page about multimedia: http://en.opensuse.org/Category:Multimedia Syntax is: '''Multimedia articles:''' <categorytree>Multimedia</categorytree> '''All portals:''' <categorytree>Portals</categorytree> First line will be bold "Multimedia articles:" acting as a subtitle. Second line will become listing of Category:Multimedia . Don't forget to put your articles in that category by including: [[Category:Multimedia]] at the end of each article that belongs there. MediaWiki software will do the rest. The same is valid for "All portals:" part that is used to interconnect all portals. If you need more help with the wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Wiki or use contact information listed in: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Wiki_team section Communicate. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

Obviously for other questions like marketing, Weekly news or documentation people from other teams should jump in and propose how they see where and how you should organize related workflow.

Thanks Rajko, I've forwarded this to the multimedia list where were getting things together. Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
