There is now quite a few articles that need sysop attention in: Category:Pages_to_delete and Category:Pages_to_cleanup Some can be deleted instantly as it is obvious that they created by mistake. -- Regards, Rajko.

Logging out from openSUSE.org
by houghi 25 May '06

25 May '06

After a while you get logged out from openSUSE.org. I know it has been asked before, but is it not possible to do an auto-login with a cookie? Now each time I see a minor change I need to go though the login process and about 80% of the time I can't be botherd because of the small change compared to the login process. -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html > > Today I went outside.

ja.opensuse.org is coming soon
by noniko 24 May '06

24 May '06

Hi, everyone. In the middle of May I was noticed by a Novell Japan staff about that they were preparing for ja.opensuse.org. Two members of JA translation team including me went Novell's office and had a meeting. They explained how it is going and we discussed on how to work together. Recently it was announced in Japan that ja.opensuse.org is going to start at the beginning of June. I'm very happy. I'd like to work to connect en (we call it "Honke", the head family) and jp each other. -- noniko noniko(a)netbeans.jp Blogs: http://jroller.com/page/Noniko (Broken English) http://www.myblog.de/noniko (Schlechtes Deutsch)

http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories
by houghi 23 May '06

23 May '06

On http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories there are an awefull lot of links to ftp.suse.com e,g. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE and ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla http://download.opensuse.org nicely points towards a mirror, However I do not believe ftp.suse.com has such a thing. As ftp.suse.com is very slow, it is a very bad idea to have all those links on such a prominet page. Is there a general way around it? Otherwise I will rewrite the page so that it will point to the mirrors page, making direct linking not possible. -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html > > Today I went outside.

pages to delete
by jdd 22 May '06

22 May '06

I worked today on the "pages to delete" category. many of these pages are in fact renamed pages, when probably the author didn't know about page move and made a cut/paste in place. it's much better to use a redirect. One must only take care from time to time of the page "double redirects" or "broken redirects", but the redirect uses very few space and energy, so there is very little need to delete the #redirect pages. However it's probably usefull to effectively delete the localisez pages (IT, TR) when the localised wiki is up (the redirect don't seems to work with interwiki links), or simply replace them by a link to the localized wiki. this could be better done by a native langage user :-) I mostly use delete when there are multiple move due to typos or spelling changes made in a row (I have often spelling problems :-) the bitTorrent spelling was specially difficult for me :-) AFAIK no page is never really deleted, as we can undelete a page, it's still here in the database, so the delete only clean the "all pages" special page. this is a mediawiki drawnback, the database is always growing with any edit (I know some users have very huge databases :-(. But like this nothing is never really lost :-) 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

Where to place category?
by Rajko M 18 May '06

18 May '06

Where to place category? I placed Category at the top of page, but SDB and Translations expect some other information there. So I changed to bottom like I have seen on Wikipedia, with pending changes for the rest that is now at the top. Jean, jdd wrote me a message to place at the top, and interwiki links at the bottom. I consider top as right place too, but if that will interfere with other meta informations, than it can be at the bottom, just above interwiki links. What is right, or better to say, what would work better on openSUSE? -- Regards, Rajko.

Document "Xen Full Virtualization Example"
by noniko 18 May '06

18 May '06

Hi, I made a document on Xen packaged in SUSE 10.1. http://en.opensuse.org/Xen_Full_Virtualization_Example I could setup and boot Windows XP using Xen and my core duo machine. Great! I feel like Christmas and New Year's Day have come together today. I'm afraid I was too excited to write correct English. Please give me your advice. -- noniko noniko(a)netbeans.jp Blogs: http://jroller.com/page/Noniko (Broken English) http://www.myblog.de/noniko (Schlechtes Deutsch)

Portuguese wiki translation
by Hugo Costelha 14 May '06

14 May '06

Hi, I once sent an e-mail informing that I had started and commited myself to help on translating the openSUSE wiki to Portuguese. Some time has passed and I thought I should say something. All the basic pages that are needed to ask for the creation of a Portuguese wiki are done, plus a few more, and I have been trying to keep them all up to date (which I think I have done). I didn't ask for it yet, the Portuguese wiki, because I know that I alone do not have the time to keep all the pages that a onw wiki would have, which would certainly grow to much more that the basic set listed in the Translation Guide. However, if there were more people interested in helping with the Portuguese translation, I think it would certainly be possible to update and maintain a Portuguese wiki. So, are there any volunteers for helping with the translation to Portuguese, so that we can ask for a Portuguese wiki? Regards, Hugo Costelha

de-pages documentation
by Olaf Hannemann 14 May '06

14 May '06

Hi, now that the wiki is back up again I took a short look on the german documentaion site and discovered that there is a lack of translations from the english site. Now that 10.1 is out and a lot of users will go to the wiki to find some help, there is not much to find (german site). I would like to volunteer to do some translation work on this issue. Means to redesign the "de.opensuse.org/Dokumentation" site and add the missing artikles to it. Is someone working on it? Is there something to be aware of? Regards, Olaf
