[opensuse-wiki] clicky - ki - yay when editing a page ?
by Susanne Oberhauser 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

Hi, possibly an FAQ, do we have any plans to improve the login sequence when editing a page? When you are not logged in and you request to edit a page, the wiki detects you are not logged in and asks you to log in. Then you have to click to 'log in', actually do the log in (possibly type, for sure click), then click on 'return to page...' and then click on the edit link again. http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=sometitle&action=edit It seems doable to reduce that to just one additional click: http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php?title=GombleFrobbleNew&action=ed… Can we possibly get the same in our wikis?

Dear all, After I did upload the new picture in http://cn.opensuse.org/Image:Kontact.jpg that is Kontact-todo.png from the en.opensuse.org, then click the picture, it redirect to http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/cn/d/dc/Kontact.jpg, and it prompt 'Object not found!' So what's wrong with the server? -- Sincerely Yours, Charles Li --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Installation Videos
by Francis Giannaros 30 Oct '07

I think it would be a great idea to link to the installation videos from software.o.o. Or, even better, just make it pop up a small window that embeds both of the videos. Like this: http://francis.giannaros.org/videos.html Any thoughts?

[opensuse-wiki] Better information for new users
by Kevin Dupuy 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hello everyone. I wanted to propose a change for the openSUSE Wiki. I believe that openSUSE has made great strides is improving the experience for users downloading openSUSE, or trying to get help with it. However, there is one place where openSUSE still has an issue: convincing people to use openSUSE! Maybe we're just modest :), but we don't seem to have enough information about the distro on the wiki. There's plenty of information about the project, but not the product. What I would like to do is create a page(s) taking the user through a tour of openSUSE, the desktop, the apps, and other information. I'd like for this information to be linked off of the front page, but I'm getting there... I would be happy to start writing some parts of the tour of 10.3, if that is what we decide to do. Another thing I have an issue with is the fact that openSUSE never makes a mention of the release of a new version of openSUSE on the front page of the wiki. The day before 10.3's release, the front page was still redirecting people to download or buy 10.2! What I'd like to see is a graphic on the top of the page, saying something like "openSUSE 11: Coming in 3 Days" etc... I've attached a file to give an example of what I mean. I would love to hear your ideas and comments! Thanks!

[opensuse-wiki] openSUSE contributor survey
by janfst＠student.matnat.uio.no 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Hello, My name is Jan Fredrik Stoveland, and I am a masters student at the University of Oslo writing a thesis on firm-sponsored open source communities. openSUSE is the main case for the study. I have been granted permission to send you this email by Andreas Jaeger and Martin Lasarch, and I hope you do not mind receiving it. I would like to ask all of the members of the this mailinglist to participate in a brief, anonymous electronic survey targeted at active contributors in the openSUSE community. The research is funded by the University, and is independent of any commercial interests. The link to the survey is here: https://nettskjema.uio.no/answer.html?fid=38823&lang=en I have selected these mailinglists as the main community indicator: project, factory, buildservice, wiki and translation. It is of great importance to get valid answers from as many of you as possible. The questions in the survey concern your current engagement in the openSUSE community, your reasons for participating in the community and your affiliation with Novell. I expect the survey will take you 10 minutes to complete, unless you find any questions difficult to answer. What do you get in return for doing this? The results from the survey will be posted to the list within a month, and the thesis with other interesting findings about your community will be published around May next year. Hopefully this will be of interest to you. But first of all I hope you will contribute for the sake of research itself. Not too much academic research has been done on communities that are facilitated by partially-proprietary companies like Novell. Furthermore, I would like to do an in depth interview on the phone with a few of you to get more detailed answers. I will randomly select about 6 people to talk to. In addition I would appreciate to talk to any people that have additional opinions. So if you have something more to say after completing the survey, please send me an email! Thank you very much for your help!

[opensuse-wiki] Wikipedia Specialpage Special:Version
by Rajko M. 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

It is interesting to see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version There is much more information than on openSUSE wiki. The question is:"How can one use this information, to make editors life easier?" BTW, new version runners should compare above and http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Version -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org
