Still not working?
by houghi 14 May '06

14 May '06

Any idea when it will be up again? It is not realy good advertisement to have it down with the lauch of a new version. :-( Also the http://download.opensuse.org/index.html is pretty confusing. I would delete the last two rows or perhaps even the last three rows, or just put up the anouncement there, because it is much clearer. http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/ Now you don't see any information and what are the RC1_GM torrents? Confusing for a beginner. houghi -- "Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come." -- Matt Groening

Help please! Where would I find a list of templates for tables and how to use them? I'm just updating the German translation of [http://en.opensuse.org/Mirrors_Released_Version] and the tables don't show :( Thanks Andreas

Can't categorize redirected pages.
by Rajko M 13 May '06

13 May '06

I can't find the way to categorize pages that are redirected from other pages so that they don't appear in the list of uncategorized pages http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Uncategorizedpages. Example: http://en.opensuse.org/Java http://en.opensuse.org/Apple/Gnome/Windows/KDE_-_Differences_in_GUI%3F The last example makes me feel better as it wasn't only me that made mistakes :-) -- Regards, Rajko.

OpenSUSE policy?
by Rajko M 13 May '06

13 May '06

I would like to hear your opinion on this article: http://en.opensuse.org/File_System_and_disk_speed_issues It describes disk write test using dd that needs 4 GB of free space, which I don't know how will end if one has lesser. Overall it looks to me like someones cut and paste operation without much idea what belongs to topic and what not. I found it looking for uncategorized pages. This brings up the question, do we have policy what to do if someone has comment (objection, disagreement) on some article. -- Regards, Rajko.

fr wiki weird
by Jonh Arson 13 May '06

13 May '06

First paragraph on the french wiki main page sound a bit weird. Proposed corrections: OpenSUSE est un programme communautaire mondial, sponsorisé par [http://www.novell.com Novell], pour donner à tous et chacun un accès facile et gratuit à SUSE Linux. Ici, sur openSUSE.org, vous trouverez une communauté de développeurs et d'utilisateurs qui ont le même but en tête : faire de SUSE la meilleure distribution Linux au monde.

please adjust summer of code text on frontpage
by Marcus Meissner 13 May '06

13 May '06

Hi, If you are mentioning Summer of Code on the frontpage of your localized wiki, please adjust it so that it reads that we no longer accept applications, but that they are currently being evaluated. The frontpage of en.opensuse.org already is adjusted ;) Ciao, Marcus

JA pages are ready for 10.1
by noniko 13 May '06

13 May '06

Hi, everyone. It's Saturday morning in Japan. I have just renewed JA pages for downloading 10.1. Also JA-Making_a_DVD_from_CDs for the new version. I'm glad to enable Japanese users to spend the weekend getting 10.1 isos and making a DVD from them. -- noniko noniko(a)netbeans.jp Blogs: http://jroller.com/page/Noniko (Broken English) http://www.myblog.de/noniko (Schlechtes Deutsch)

wiki improvements
by Andreas 11 May '06

11 May '06

I was wondering if some improvements in the "handling" and the layout structure of the wiki can be made: * email-notification: is it possible to add an option to get an email alert when a page on my watch list is changed/deleted/moved etc.? * Category-Layout: I noticed that there is a huge vertical gap that makes the page look like it's actually an empty template. Of course once you know that it's not empty, you can just scroll down, but occasional visitors will get frustrated and leave before they even find out. Here's an example: [http://en.opensuse.org/Category:Configuration] * Language-bar(s): Is it possible to merge the "This page in [list of languages]" Box on the right and the "Other Languages" section in the left menu box to something less obtrusive? On some pages, like [http://en.opensuse.org/Translation_Team] the right language box interferes with the text (at least in Konqueror. Firefox renders it different). And instead of having even more languages permanently listed in the left menu box, something like a dropdown-menu with all the available translations would be better. * Internal links: Another thing I noticed about the left menu box: The actual Information for users ("Use SUSE Linux") holds three links (of which "Documentation" and "Support Database" should imho be merged anyway). The other links add up to a total of 18 plus the languages. Can't that be drastically reduced? These are the things I noticed so far, but I'm sure I can come up with more suggestions if you're interested ;) -- Gruß Andreas
