RSS news feed - a technical investigation
by Peter Flodin 12 Feb '06

12 Feb '06

This thread is about the technical solutions of creating an RSS feed of openSUSE news. Nothing else, please don't hijack this thread, if you want to discuss whether we should have an RSS feed, please start a new thread. Some observations, and possible avenues. 1. The recent changes page and newpages on the wiki already has RSS. http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Special:Newpages&feed=rss We could have a News: namespace and the Recentchanges page allows filtering on Namespace so for example http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Special%3ARecentchanges&namespace=100 is all recent changes in our current SDB: namespace. It would have been nicer to use the Newpages page, but this doesn't allow filtering by namespace. http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Newpages&feed=rss 2. There are things called wiki bots, scripts which automatically contribute and edit wikis. a.) Is there an existing RSS bot that reads wiki pages and creates an RSS feed? Or b) alternatively puts an RSS feed into a wiki page. This last option would still require us to have our news hosted somewhere that creates an RSS feed. Let's see if we pool our expertise and knowledge whether we can come up with a suitable solution. Peter 'Pflodo' Flodin.

Placing thanks to my friend
by Piotr Orzechowski 10 Feb '06

Hi! Well, it seems I'm the only one interested in translating opensuse.org into Polish so far... :) There's however one person, who's helping me with that by reading already translated documents and reporting his opinions. I'm grateful for that, so I'd like to place under my username (on the Translation Team page) thanks to Mieczyslaw Solarz (he agreed with that) for supporting me with translation, or just to mention him there as a team member (I believe, virtually he is team member if he's continuosly helping). So here's my question: May I do that? Kind regards, Piotr Orzechowski.

What kind of login?
by Rajko M 10 Feb '06

10 Feb '06

Looking on openSUSE wiki, and Wikipedia. One with login, the other without. They had login too and the site was small. Then they removed login, and site started growing to its present size. How many people will go trough registration process, just to make minor edit? I think just a few. I edited Wikipedia few times, with login requirement it would be no edit at all. So, what is what we want? Protected site or active one? Fear from vandals? Wikipedia has same problems, and obviously some solutions. We can have some pages protected, some accessible with login and the rest free. -- Regards, Rajko M.
