[opensuse-wiki] new skin management
by jdd 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

Hello, The new skin is beautifull, but How can I edit the right column? (news...), it's not in the main page and no link is visible (I used to have then in a separate page, but this is unimportant) and I know there will be a bugfix, I hope the top left "openSUSE" box will be translated thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] wiki edition
by Gabriel . 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

I was wondering how to put a link to a wikipedia article (using wiki:, wk:, wikipedia: doesn't work on the Spanish site). On the other hand, the Sidebar (always talking about the Spanish site) needs some changes, IHMO is no very clear to new users. This page is protected, so I can't edit it, who can I contact to discuss about that? Regards. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] 'Get Software'
by Francis Giannaros 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

Hi guys, One problem at the moment I think is that no new user would think that 'Get Software' is the link to click on to _download_ openSUSE, and yet that is what is displayed in the "openSUSE" navigation box across the different subdomains. Though I'm afraid I don't really have another suggestion: "Download" itself also doesn't imply that you can get software from there too. Any thoughts?

[opensuse-wiki] md5sums on download page
by Francis Giannaros 21 Sep '07

21 Sep '07

Hi, For several releases now people haven't been able to find the MD5SUMs straight away (see news.o.o comments). I think it might be a good idea to have a link to them on the s.o.o page. Any thoughts?

[opensuse-wiki] New skin is ready: Translators please proofread
by Frank Sundermeyer 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

Hi, the new skin for the wiki is finally ready ;-). The new skin requires to update or create the following pages: - left navigation (MediaWiki:Sidebar) - right navigation of home page (MediaWiki:Mainpagerightcolumn) ->new - home page - copyright notice Novell (MediaWiki:OsNovellCopyright) ->new - copyright notice Community (MediaWiki:OsCommunityCopyright) In order to make it as easy as possible for you translators, I have set up http://en.test.opensuse.org/index.php?title=ToDo_List_When_Going_Live On this page you will find a table with links to all files in your language that need to be changed/created. Apart from the copyright files I have tried to already set them up with cut & paste. Please proofread them - it is very likely I have made mistakes. Once you have proofread all five files, please change the entry in the "Proofread" column to "!yes". I would like to propose next Tuesday (September 18th) as a deadline - this would allow us to deploy the skin at the end of next week (hopefully). If you want to, you can now translate the two copyright notices. If not, leave them as they are (English). Notes: ------ * The pages that already exist on the current wiki (home page, sidebar and OSNovellCopyright) have been set up on the test server (en.test.opensuse.org). Once the new skin is live, these will be transferred to production via cut & paste. * I have already set up the new pages (Mainpagerightcolumn and OsCommunityCopyright) on the production wiki (marked by the external link icon in the table. * The right navigation bar will automatically be applied to the wiki's home page (as defined in MediaWiki:Mainpage). Therefore it does not show up on the localized home pages you are proofreading * Don't worry about red links - these will vanish when moving to production * I have added a newsfeed to most of the right navigation columns. It will automatically fetch the latest 5 news items from news.opensuse.org (English only). If you prefer to manually maintain a list of news, change it ;). * The Featured Article section: The original idea behind this section is, to either highlight certain articles or to use this space for announcements, etc.. This section should primarily be used for localized articles or announcements related to your country/language. For the moment I have put comment signs around this section, feel free to change this. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, Technical Writer, Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.opensuse.org/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "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] New wiki skin: Konqueror issues and footer
by Carlos Gonçalves 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hi Frank, The new wiki skin looks great. Although it has some issues in Konqueror browser: - top right search input field isn't "hidden" like news.o.o is - bodyContent should be set to width=100% (do Ctrl+- and you will see what I'm talking about) Apart from this Konqueror viewing issues. Why the first sentence (OsCommunityCopyright) in footer is taking 2 lines instead of 1? I think it can fit only in one, reducing the size of the footer which is huge btw... -- Regards, Carlos Gonçalves

[opensuse-wiki] Wishlists
by Rajko M. 08 Sep '07

08 Sep '07

This is the answer in discussion on http://en.opensuse.org/Talk:Wishlist_Gnome Here is transcript: >> more categories is good idea, but desktop list will bring more >> problems than it will solve >> 1) lists by desktops will be huge and that is directly against your goal, >> to clean them up. > > 1) the size doesn't matter as long as it's readable, the old wishlists > were such a mess, devs and repo maintainers were more likely discouraged > from reading it than being overwhelmed They did look at, for sure. The FATE, feature tracking system, is closed for non employees, so the only way to propose new features, which includes new softare are various wish lists on the wiki. >> 2) it is irrelevant division, application will run, if it has all >> libraries, on any desktop. Have you ever run KDE or GNOME applications >> in fvwm, xfce, window manager, twm etc, they work just as fine as in native >> desktop environment. > > 2) while that's true, the new separation of the gnome and kde installation > CD's in 10.3 acquires us to start considering more desktop dependent apps, > users who'd rather not install extra libs for programs that are meant to > work on other desktop environments should get what they want, because > it's more efficient, this is how it works in most distro's. that and > the fact that some applications are absolutely desktop dependent > (i.e, mail notification, gimmie panel, tomboy reminder, KDE startup manager, > etc..) That is OK. The problem is that application should be listed in all relevant lists. That is asking for maintainer to keep all in sync. For developer was easier to have one page, even in a mess and look diff to find what new was added, than to check 2 or 3 items that are the same. The same is valid for users. If they select right category, though :-( IMHO, wiki is not good medium for feature/software requests, but for now we have to live with it. >> 3) where to put applications that will run on any desktop, as long as X >> server is running > > 3) any other wishlist should do just fine for non-desktop specific apps, > the Gnome/KDE wishlist is only meant to serve a certain type of package > requests, you can already see some examples on both lists. OK. >> 4) where to put applications that need no desktop. > 4) --> 3) -- 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] English only Home Page
by Frank Sundermeyer 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Hi, a few days ago there have been some complaints about the new project home page being English only (www.opensuse.org). Since this issue is still open I'd like to restart the discussion (not without adding my 2 cents first, of course ;-) ). Summary of the previous discussion: * new homepage is English only - this is a step back * new homepage should honour the browser's locale or a world map splash screen should be added My 2 Cents: * The new Home page mainly consists of - three slogans (Get It / Discover It / Build It) - three fixed terms (Download / Wiki / Build Service) - and a sentence explaining what the project is about. It probably doesn't make sense to translate the slogans and the phrase "Build Service" also do not think that translations for "Wiki" exist. "Download" is probably understood by every person using the internet. So it really boils down to translating the sentence about the project. I am really not sure whether this is really important. However, this sentence hadn't been there before, so I do not agree that the new homepage is a step back in this regard. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, Technical Writer, Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.opensuse.org/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) 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
