[opensuse-web] Links in Community Pulldown of Bento theme
by Andreas Jaeger 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

The community pulldown includes also these three items: * Connect * spotlight * Events - goes to connect Right now, connect is not in a state to be used, so I would not link there at all. Also, without a community manager, we should not link to spotlight. I propose to remove these from the Bento theme (or comment out for now) until the web sites behind those are active and functional. Btw. for events, we have the event calendar in news.opensuse.org but I don't see how to link there easily - otherwise I would use that one, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj(a){novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

[opensuse-web] Replace our wordpress instances with some crowdsource blog
by Henne Vogelsang 13 Mar '10

13 Mar '10

Hey, i just stumbled over grogger, a "Group Blog". http://getgrogger.com/ its a system that gives everybody the means to blog and vote for content. something like a dumbed down wp plus dig. That made me think about lizards and our whole weblog setup which is often rightly criticized. Currently we have the planet plus 3 wordpress instances (spotlight, news, lizards) which are differentiated by the exclusiveness of users who can post to them. So from all Members (lizards) to a somehow evolved crowd (news) to just the board and the community manager (spotlight). That feels like putting the cart (writers) before the donkey (readers). I think with a group blog and especially with something that allows crowdsourcing we can deliver more and better content to readers in an easier fashion and make the project more attractive. Any opinions? Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

[opensuse-web] Broken link to Package Repositories?
by Graham P Davis 17 Feb '10

17 Feb '10

On page http://software.opensuse.org/developer/en and under the side heading "Software", there is a link labelled "Package Repositories". However, this link leads to http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories. I assume that it is supposed to point to http://en.opensuse.org/Package_repositories instead. I have spent many fun-filled hours trying to find the "official repositories", and I've almost always failed to crawl my way to the very bottom of the "Additional" page where they are hidden away under "See Also". Unfortunately, this glitch has been around for a year or so and it is possible that many users have gotten used to this oddity and will be confused if the hyperlink is just swapped, so a less simple remedy may be needed. Perhaps both links should be listed under the "Software" side-heading?

http://software.opensuse.org/search (and cmdline webpin) produce no results for mc-4.7 for either 11.0 or Factory while 4.7.0-pre4 is the latest release and AFAICT I need at least 4.7.0-pre3 to get the fix for http://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/1619 . Is it really possible that no 4.7.* mc package exists even for Factory?

http://software.opensuse.org/ redirects to http://software.opensuse.org/112/en and provides no apparent means to find earlier releases. I don't see anything on /112/en about finding previous versions. Some people aren't ready for moving from KDE3 to KDE4, which is the standard result of attempting an upgrade install of 11.2 over a previous openSUSE release that has only KDE3 installed.
