Hello there.... I've been asked several times to add some of my "Linux remote" documents and knowledge to the OpenSUSE wiki. Last Night I attempted to do so, unfortunately I ran into some problems. First off, you ask me to not to add the document to wiki till it's finished, but I could not find a method to build the document out side of the wiki. So I'm can't figure out how to do this. Secondly, is it possible to do the document with OO, and then convert / add it to the wiki? Jerry

good idea :-)
Last Night I attempted to do so, unfortunately I ran into some problems.

this is mostly important for really big documents, that may not be finished on the same day
but I could not find a method to build the document out side of the wiki. So I'm can't figure out how to do this.
best way is to go to your own wiki page (after login, you have the link on the top of the screen). Then use your page to create the link. For normal page: [[The title of the page as it will be seen by users]] (with the double brackets) Save the page, you will see the title in red. clic on it a go on writing :-) to make tests or prepare long pages, the best way I can find is to use [[/The title of the page as it will be seen by users]] notice the "/" as first title caracter. This makes a "sub page" of your own page. Once the edit finished, it's enough to move the page (links in the bottom of any page) by deleting the "/". Most users will understand that it's a private page (howaver it is still visible and editable by others, nothing is really private on this wiki) the other way round is to have you own mediawiki, but this is an other story eventually, you can store what you want on my own mediawiki http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/Accueil if you want to test things you don't want exposed to anybody. it's also public, but not as much exposed as opensuse one :-)
Secondly, is it possible to do the document with OO, and then convert / add it to the wiki?
no, it's not. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

<rant> If the OpenSUSE community ain't about Users helping Users help users than what is it? Damn that is the 12th Suse list I'm going to subscribe to.... I'm already wading through some 300 suse msgs per day... Do I really want this? </rant> Hmmm, sorry about that I didn't know about that maillist... I realize (from discusions here) what is meant by OpenSUSE Community, but also realize why everybody and his mother jumps into this maillist with with wrong initial impression, and therefore "abusing" the list. Do everybody a favor, and rename the list to something that an outsider will understand what it's for.... OpenSuSE_Direction, futture_plans, Goals, work-in-progress, or what ever. If a person does not have the "OpenSuSE" maillist then he's is forced to choose an appropriate sub mailist.... Jerry P.S. Sorry for the Rant, but just could keep my fingers of the keyboard...

The openSUSE community is that, among other things.
Users help users than what is it?
This list is not about technical help: http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate#Mailing_Lists
Damn that is the 12th Suse list I'm going to subscribe to....
And ...

Do I really want this?
The idea of seperate lists is that you do not have to wade through all emails, but that you can select on subject what to read and what not.

Hmmm, sorry about that I didn't know about that maillist...
No problem. Somehow you found out about this one and most likely the same place also explained others or at least should, like http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate#Mailing_Lists

There are two things. The community, that is all SUSE users and the openSUSE project: http://en.opensuse.org/Project_overview
Do everybody a favor, and rename the list to something that an outsider will understand what it's for....
OpenSuSE_Direction, futture_plans, Goals, work-in-progress, or what ever.

1) it is openSUSE, not OpenSuSE. It also is SUSE not SuSE for some time already 2) opensuse-project would then be the best name.
Jerry P.S. Sorry for the Rant, but just could keep my fingers of the keyboard...
No problem. This is about the project/community and thus on-topic. ;-) -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

I tried an other layout... we'll see if it is better (not sure). fisrt I deleted the info stuff because it was a duplicate. I made the suse-linux-e better seen, and hide the real list name. there is no more suse-linux-e but a "SUSE linux all questions list". Better send anybody to suse-linux-e at first. I also hided the opensuse name (too general) to show "openSUSE community life" (edit as you want, I'm not so glad of this) I also move the mailing list to the top of communicate. As lo,ng as we have no official forum, I don't see why we should first send people on external links. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

Did some small changes. I moved the netiquette so that it is for all lists, not just this one. Edited the versions (You forgot 10.1 and also 4.x till 8.2. ;-) Looks better, thanks. -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
