fr logo
by jdd 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

Hello :-) I made a new logo for the fr.opensuse.org main page. It's just the usual log with 'fr' on the lizard. If you like it, can you set it as fr logo (wiki.gif in the right mediawiki folder)? thanks jdd http://fr.opensuse.org/Image:Opensuse-fr.gif -- 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

The GPL jihad gets another victory...
by Mark Hellman 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

... at the expense of thousands of present and future SuSE users who, from now on, won't be able to get their Intel and Smartlink modems, their wireless cards, or their ISDN cards to work. The very same devices that enable them to connect to the Internet... Some people foolish think this GPL "sharia" from the kernel folks is a sort of social engineering to pressure manufacturers to open their drivers code. Understand this once and for all: there have been, there are and always will be manufacturers that don't want to open their drivers code. It is their legitimate right to do so, and Linux must be able to peacefully coexist with this reality. On the user perspective, this "sharia" is just on more reason for not using SuSE... Mark

help for translation
by jdd 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

I know there are some french language people here, so forgive me if I make this call for a one time help. Probably the problem is the same for the others new wikis :-) even if the wikis will someday live by themselves, for them to start we need a number of page right now. There are probably 40-50 pages that needs badly to be translated from the english wiki to the other langages ones. after that, we can hope than new local readers/writers will come. if any of yours could help translating 2-3 pages each, this would be very appreciated. After that you could turn back to your usual work. I setup a guide for the translation of openSUSE wiki (the english one is now obsolete) here: http://fr.opensuse.org/Guide_pour_la_traduction thanks again 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

Handling of meetings in the wiki
by Christian Boltz 13 Feb '06

13 Feb '06

Hello, I'd like to suggest some improvements in the handling of meetings in the wiki. The current way has 3 pages: - $date-status-meeting - $date-status-meeting-minutes - $date-status-meeting-transcript I'd like to see only 2 pages: - $date-status-meeting - $date-status-meeting-transcript and have the minutes on the $date-status-meeting page. Currently, the $date-status-meeting page starts with "This meeting [...] will be held at $date_in_the_past" (which looks outdated, BTW - change it to "... was hold at ..."). The page content mostly consists of the Agenda, which is repeated in the minutes in any case (or even could be removed because the "Contents" box contains it ;-) Having the minutes on the $date-status-meeting page would be a more obvious way. If I open the $date_in_the_past-status-meeting page, I expect to see a summary of the meeting. Currently, there's just a small link to the minutes that could be overlooked. Also, it would save a click ;-) Another question is if there should be a common namespace for the meetings like Meetings:status:$date - but that's just a s/$date-status-meeting/Meetings:status:$date/ and therefore can be discussed independent of the 3 vs. 2 page question above. What do you think about my suggestion? Regards, Christian Boltz PS: If there's nobody who has too much time ;-) I will do the changes in the wiki - but let's discuss if and how it should be done first. -- Ich springe so oft aus dem Fenster, daß ich ein schnurloses Telefon habe.

common upload directory
by jdd 13 Feb '06

13 Feb '06

hello again :-) I see we have no common upload folder. So could it be possible to have all the en... images copied to the fr (and probably the others also) wikis? I can do one by one, but it's long. making it at the server level is very short (if the different wikis are on the same server :-) is it's not handy for you, forget it, I will do thanks 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

recent change
by jdd 13 Feb '06

13 Feb '06

I notice than the link "recent change" desapeared from the wiki menu. It's the one I use most, so is there a good reason to have done that? I can reach it through special pages, but it's not handy (in fact I made a link from my personal page, but I may not be the only who have the problem) thanks 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
