new features page
by Graham Anderson 10 May '06

Apart from the usual release notes and product description from AJ et all, is it worthwhile compiling a list of new groovy stuff in 10.1 for the wiki ? If we had a 'New in 10.1' page listing all the 'cool stuff' it would be a nice URL to point friends, bloggers, journalists at... good idea or bad? Cheers G

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 think this would help to recover a wiki page should there be a breakin or diliber damage. I know that some websites are under RCS.

call for a full time "en" sysop
by jdd 09 May '06

09 May '06

It may be simpler for me to write this because I can't be a candidate :-) I think we should have a full time english-wiki sysop. Full time don't mean he will spend all his time on the wiki, but that the wiki will be his first concern. and sysop mean he will have to make strategic changes, organisation ones, not than he should have to write the wiki himself, of course. http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Welcome_to_openSUSE.org&action=histo… shows that several people share the front page update. this is probably not the better way for consistency and we know they have also very sharp work do do on the distribution itself. I don't care if the sysop is Novell or voluntary, but I would like to know his name. I think also than it's his responsability, aftyer all kinds of discussions, to make the necessary changes. specially on the blocked pages, he is the only who can do it. we are simply not enough, here, to speak of democracy or votes. We don't represent anybody than ourselves. of course, Novell can (must) keep the css control. the main point is than we need a referee :-). On my concern, it's better to have a consistent layout, even if I don't like it (and why should I don't like it :-), than as many layouts as pages... 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

Wiki needs help...
by Peter Flodin 09 May '06

09 May '06

As we all know and many complain about, the wiki is quite hard to find things in. This also hinders contribution, because if you can't find something in a disorganised mess, for one you are not even sure what to contribute, as it hard to figure out what is missing or where to put it, and new contributors are unlikely to radicly change the structure to fix it. The frontpage is also a hard thing to start on, and like makeup, it can only hide so much of what is underneath. So it is up to us, and now is as good a time as any to get the wiki into shape, with some structure and clarity. The most important sections (I believe) are downloads and documentation. I have started with http:\\en.opensuse.org\documentation and will continue on each major section linked to from that page, I have already done some reconstruction and moved some pages. A good page for anybody to help is the page http://en.opensuse.org/Howtos You can simply find Howto type articles currently in the wiki and link to them in the correct section, or because it is wiki, create links to howto articles that should exist. It might be enough to spur someone into writing a new article. So join in and help, offer feedback...be constructive. Peter 'Pflodo' Flodin.

Hi, everyone. Last autumn, to celebrate SUSE 10.0, I created a Document titled "Desktop Cutomization Tips". Today, to celebrate 10.1, I have editted this page. http://en.opensuse.org/Desktop_Customization_Tips I would like to have any technical or grammatical advice on it, or have it editted directly, or have someone to translate it into Japanese ;) -- noniko noniko(a)netbeans.jp Blogs: http://jroller.com/page/Noniko (Broken English) http://www.myblog.de/noniko (Schlechtes Deutsch)
