What to do about copied pages?
by houghi 11 Oct '05

Wat must be done about pages that are a clear copy and paste from another page? A) Change the layout, so it is included in openSUSE.org B) Delete it e.g. http://www.opensuse.org/Anjuta and http://anjuta.sourceforge.net/features User Amikarpe has entered a lot other pages like that. I asume he just clicked on the words in http://www.opensuse.org/Product_Highlights and added what he found. Also again a plea to ask what will come in the place of http://www.opensuse.org/Product_Highlights ? Are there people thinking about that, because again, it is absoluly NOT the *Product Highlights* that are seen on that page. I rather have the info from http://www.novell.com/products/suselinux/ -> Product Info -> Features. I first want to know what others idea are, before I start a complete re-write. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

Wiki Search
by Peter Flodin 05 Oct '05

If you go to http://en.wikipedia.org/ you will notice that the search has two buttons [Go] and [Search]. The [Search] will search for the word in all pages (full text) and give a list of results. The [Go] will look for the word in a title and if it finds a match go straight to that article, if not it will do a full text search and give a list for results. Now the openSUSE wiki only has one action and it is the [Go] action. This means that if you want to search for say all pages that contain GIMP you can't as it takes you straight to the GIMP page. I think this should be changed.

Heading Styles proposal.
by Peter Flodin 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

I propose that we change the Heading styles on the openSUSE.org website. The current issues I see with the current styles is: 1. Heading 1 is inconsistent with the others. 2. The difference between the headings is not sufficient (especially Heading 2 and 3), which can cause confusion on what belongs to what on anything larger than a small page. Just have look at http://www.opensuse.org/Mail_server_HOWTO (no criticism on the content houghi :-) My proposed styles are here: http://www.opensuse.org/User:Pflodo/Style_Page Pflodo. ps. Has anybody managed to turn on the Auto-Number Headings in the User Prefs?

Standard rules for the wiki
by houghi 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Are there any standard rules for the openSUSE wiki? Things that will make it clear thoughout the wiki what things mean. What I am talking about is when to use italic, when to use bold and so on. What I do now is if it is a filename or directory or relates anyhow to what you type, I use italic when used in a sentence. When it is an actual command and I use it in a sentence, I use bold. I see others sometimes use <tt> for commands used in a line. Things you actually type, I do like: # command Also should we link as much possible things as possible, or not? What about things that meantion SUSE in any form? Should we as a standard link that to the apropriate place, or not? The same for external programs and/or companies, like Adobe, Sun, Java, Macromedia. Are there any other standards that we should be watching out for? I think that if there is consitency in all these things, it would be an advatage for the for the site. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

website is hacked
by houghi 03 Oct '05

Already noted on the opensuse list. How could this happen and what will be done to prevent this in the furture. This is NOT good advertisement for SUSE or openSUSE. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
