Hi,
I finally managed to get the new skin working! Adrian and Darix set up a
test server, so you can test it under almost real-life terms!
http://en.test.opensuse.org/
The skin was completely written from scratch, so it is no longer based
on MonoBook or other existing MediaWiki styles.
This made the skin development a bit picky, because there is no longer a
Fallback css (like MonoBook) that covers styles not in the openSUSE
css.
This is where I need your help - please test all Special pages on the
wiki you can think of, generate and apply templates, upload files ...
in short stress-test the skin and tell me what I have missed.
To make it easier for you, I have already put together some pages
showcasing tag formatting, structural and content elements as well as
links to the most commonly used Special pages.
Two pages are of special interest:
Styles Not Defined Yet:
This is a list of styles MediaWiki generates that I have not covered,
yet, because I wasn't able to find out on which pages they are used.
Maybe you can help me here.
Content Elements:
I am planning to add useful classes to the CSS, like the command-line
style (.shell). Please add whatever you find useful to this page (with
inline css) and discuss them on this list. I will add the ones we all
agree upon.
The "this page in other languages" stuff is currently not working - I
hope to be able to fix this soon.
If a page exists in other languages, you will either see a drop down box
in the gray page header (where the edit, discussion links are) -
requires JavaScript - or an additional box in the left nav when
JavaScript is disabled.
Thanks for all your feedback in advance! Don't expect to hear from me
until Thursday, 31 - I will be online very rarely until then.

Agree.
Also, I was thinking how to make wiki translation process easier.
Recently I become helper to guy that wants to translate wiki, but looking what
has to be translated and whole process I learned that is not easy. The whole
process needs serious simplification, to make it more popular. Besides it
should allow translations from one of wiki languages to new one.
Separate server will give more room for translations alone and make possible,
for instance, to create set of pages that have to be translated like
LANG-Page_to_translate with all links included and then when
translator announce that he wants to translate just replace LANG with language
code. Of course this is just initial idea that needs first of all separate
server, than it can be developed.

Hi,
it's been a long time since you have last heard about the openSUSE.org
redesigning efforts. Robert and I have been busy with it the last few
weeks and we would like to present you the first milestone we have
reached: a new and improved download page which will be hosted on
download.opensuse.org:
http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/download/
We got a lot of feedback from users who were confused by the existing
download page, so we decided to use JavaScript to make the page
interactive. For users having deactivated JavaScript the old download
interface will still be present.
Please let us know what you think about the page and if and where you
see room for improvement.

Thanks a lot

The toolbar on the left of the English language wiki says "Related Changes". I think
it should be "Recent Changes".

Today I found one article
http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD
moved to SDB, as it was tagged with template
http://en.opensuse.org/Template:Movetosdb
I copied article back to original location leaving the one in SDB untouched,
and changed template a bit, to temporary fix the wording.
That brought me to think about the purpose of SDB.
It was one time when Support Database was source of many solutions that helped
us, and inclusion in openSUSE wiki was great present from SUSE. While SDB is
better organized there is no many authors that write for it and even those
that do don't look often in
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Howto
as rules are adding complexity to those for writing ordinary articles.
My question is;"How to define the purpose of SDB?"
At the moment it is more like archive of solutions for previous SUSE releases.
It is very little added since it was included in openSUSE. Should we maintain
that status, and ask contributors to write normal articles in main space and
when time passes and new release comes out move/copy those in the SDB
structure.
What I like is time view "history" and structure of categories:
http://en.opensuse.org/Category:SDB
and that is how we can attempt to structure main namespace of wiki.

I appreciate any help around wiki and you are welcome to continue.
You did what tag said, but the problem was tag itself. It said "move" and you
did it. I think it was meant somewhat different, but without clear
instructions how to do that.
It triggered my interest to see what to do with SDB. It exists as separate
entity within wiki without special purpose, defined goal, people that take
care of it, search function, as it was once original Support DB, that was for
me very helpful resource.
There is no need to ask on this list, except if it is something big that will
influence a lot of people, like rules that will be applicable to whole wiki.
Cleaning wiki according to the tags is more or less standard editorial job
that you don't need to ask.
More important is to see now when to tag articles to be included in SDB, and
how actually to do that. Do we want to follow SDB:<name of article> naming
with additional invisible tags for sorting and keywords, or to use existing
category SDB and simply put article of certain quality in that category.
More I look into, more I like category structure of SDB.

A few weeks ago Rajko came up with a proposal for a new layout for ==
headings.
While that proposal may not have been perfect - I absolutely agree that it's a
big problem for the reader friendliness of our wiki that "== headings" are
less dominant than "=== headings".
I think something must be done about this, can someone look into it?
Maybe making "==" bold - or increasing the font size, or make "===" not bold -
or something.
I really don't care much about how it's done - as long as the "==" stand out
more than "===".
See for example:
http://en.opensuse.org/Documentation
Even with underlining of "==" - the "===" ('User feedback', 'Errata') stand
out more.
I think it's really unfriendly for readers and make our pages seem
un-structured and messy.

Hi,
wow - looks really good.
On "More Downloads"
- Might we call "Old download table" not better something like "Expert view"
- "Latest Alpha Version" links to download help - at least I can't find a
Alpha here
