http://en.opensuse.org/User:Eoflores has link to http://www.jipitel.info/ with online store link http://www.jipitel.info/store.html with PayPal link that doesn't allow me to see where it will go. Isn't strange that so simple web page has such feature on link that suppose to be PayPal. I wish all the best to folk that click the link. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] [FPR] 4th (final?) stage
by Frank Sundermeyer 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

Hi, before I go on a two week vacation, I would like to revitalize the front page redesign discussion. I have added two new proposals (with minor changes): http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/home.html http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/splash.html and - in cased the majority on this list agrees - would like to hand the home page proposal over to Martin Lasarsch, so he van coordinate translation. As always, a few explanations: * Home page: Rajko proposed to shorten the right and left nav, by setting up additional pages listing further links. Although I think this is a good idea, I would propose to postpone this until the page is live, because it would add more pages that need to be translated * Splash screen: It is my impression that the discussion never came to a conclusion before it stopped. So I would propose to go live with what I suggested above and to evaluate other users' feedback. darix and I will also evaluate whether it is possible to add the access statistics to each language link on the start page -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, SUSE LINUX GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.novell.com/ "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Media Wiki skin on OpenSuse.org
by Shreyas Srinivasan 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

Hey, I am one of the organizers of http://foss.in , India's biggest free and open source events. For the event site we would very much like to re-use the media wiki skin being used on http://opensuse.org. Is the skin copyrighted to someone (Novell?) or owned by someone in the community. We would be very grateful if we could "re"use for our site. Thanks for the help in advance. -- Shreyas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Little Statistic about Wiki Popularities
by Stephan Binner 19 Aug '06

19 Aug '06

Hello, for own curiosity I made this little table showing how many times the most popular page (likely the homepage) has been accessed. Of course it differs how long the wikis are already online and some are not even announced yet: cn: 7342 views - not publicly announced yet cz: 38257 views de: 532001 views el: 50 views - not publicly announced yet en: 6574879 views es: 73332 views fr: 58492 views hu: 6469 views it: 34814 views ja: 43164 views pt: 128 views - not publicly announced yet ru: 6484 views sv: 11719 views tr: 9183 views vi: 1167 views It will be interesting to see how much the upcoming http://www.opensuse.org splash will help to promote the language wikis.

[opensuse-wiki] [FPR] Home page content
by Frank Sundermeyer 19 Aug '06

19 Aug '06

Hi, from what was said on the "3rd stage: modifications" thread I conclude that everyone is happy with the _layout_ of the new home page (the splash screen is another matter ;-)): http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/home.html So I would suggest to close discussions on the layout of _this_ page and start focusing on the content. Rajko has already made an alternative proposal with considerably less text - please see: http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/3/33/Frontpage-simple-005.png His comments: > 1- "the world's most usable Linux" is mentioned twice in one > paragraph. No need to mention that it is in any language considered > problematic. > 2- "The program provides anyone with free and easy > access to the world's most usable Linux distribution" > then later > "We work together to create and distribute the world's most usable > Linux" We either have it, or we are creating it. > Can't be both. > > 3-"There are many ways you can participate in the openSUSE project. > First you should get a copy of SUSE Linux and install it on your > machine." Visitor can see two paragraphs right below that tell the > same, so this is redundant. > > 4-"Here at openSUSE.org, you'll find a community of developers, end > users, and other open source enthusiasts who all have the same goal > in mind" "Other open source enthusiasts" might be business owners, > but opensuse.org is non commercial site, and it is hard to imagine > that any will appear. > > Of course, race with the time is guilty for some overzealous cuts, > like missing Communicate link in the left pane. The link "More..." > will lead to "How to Participate" page. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, SUSE LINUX GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.novell.com/ "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-help(a)opensuse.org

Hi! I wanted You to really sorry for my absence in translating opensuse.org into Polish. I just really don't have neither time nor even internet connection for now. I do not know when I will be able to continue this task so I removed every link to Polish pages where possible because of their out-of-date state. Once again sorry!

[opensuse-wiki] Broken link in News box on en.opensuse.org
by Christian Boltz 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Hello, http://en.opensuse.org/Welcome_to_openSUSE.org has "New Mailing List opensuse-translation" in the news box. Unfortunately, the link to the list archive is broken (probably because of the new mailinglist server) - can one of the admins please fix this? Sidenote: I did not check if wikis in other languages also contain this broken link, but I guess so. Regards, Christian Boltz -- netstat -tulpen ... nein rosen geht nicht.

[opensuse-wiki] openSUSE web site for low end network
by jdd 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

If you follow the various openSUSE mailing lists, you may know I use to advocate we must take into account the so many low end harware users. This is not only for helping the poors, but also because I'm very confident than the coutries that have such problem today will be in the first place in the market in the very few years from now on. helping them is a good bet on the future. and it's cheap :-) I noticed that the openSUSE wiki is very hard to read with a 56k modem connection. (I know there are some of us that use it, congratulations :-). so it could be wise to have a helper for them in the form of a static web site. Of course we can't afford to make a static web site as dynamic as the openSUSE wiki, but before using too much time to work on this, is it possible (politically possible, accepted by Novell) to have a static copy of the wiki linked from the hub screen we just discuss? I think of a script generated web site from the actual wiki (probably only the english one, but who knows?) For example I have a wget generated copy of the french wiki, only 2Mb in size! this could be quite simple to do and appreciated by many users 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Organizing Wiki
by Rajko M 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

The http://en.opensuse.org/Tasks list is by now quite large . It is not always easy to find what to do and what is already done. Well defined tasks are important for success of any project. For each participant is easier to pick up some well defined job than to make guesswork from present offer what is the most important, how far article should be developed, what is the best way to structure article. This is specially true for projects in the initial phase like openSUSE wiki. It is time to reorganize Tasks page to list tasks by groups with additional information: * urgency * planned subtasks * proposed article structure * who is working on it * what is already done * ... Some smart template from our template specialists would make this easier, or maybe there is some other way like bugzilla for software, that has all this included, and tasks page should contain only link to this task tracking tool. ==Tasks== ===Wiki=== * structure chart and plans, * maintenance, * standards, * guides, * wish list, * plans, * ... ===Distribution documentation=== * Technical ** specifications, ** standards, ** manuals, ** ... * User ** HowTo, ** tips, ** FAQ, ** SDB, ** ... ===Illustrations=== * Artwork ** article illustrations, ** buttons, ** banners, ** window decoration ** ... ===Technical=== * Diagrams, * Flow charts, * Schematics, * ... ===Programming=== * ... Any ideas how to do this will help to do more with lesser work. -- Regards, Rajko.

[opensuse-wiki] [FPR] 3rd stage: modifications
by Frank Sundermeyer 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Hi, working on the feedback for yesterday's Splash screen and last weeks Home page proposal, I updated these two pages on the server. http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/splash.html http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/home.html Splash screen: - implemented Christian's css fixes - added Turkish (was missing in previous versions) - replaced openSUSE writing - added search graphic Home page: - all icons are now from the KDE crystal icon set (except the download icon, which is from YaST, but fits nicely (IMHO)) - icon size is now 48x48 (was 64x64 before) - swapped help and news boxes - added "openSUSE Graphics" box I also tried to make the "tail" a background image of the home page, as was suggested. Looks horrible ;-). Uncomment lines 20-24 in opensuse.css to see for yourself. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, SUSE LINUX GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.novell.com/ "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, first, a big "Thank you" to Rajko for making this really cool suggestion for the splash screen. Seems that we will reach an agreement very soon with this proposal.

[opensuse-wiki] Icelandic Wiki

All required pages are translated, as well as templates, sidebar, required words, etc. However, the Template:NotTranslated didn't exist, so the text on the guide page was simply put in a simple text document. Is there an interest in having an icelandic page. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-help(a)opensuse.org
