[opensuse-wiki] news.openSUSE and leftbar listing
by Michael Loeffler 03 Sep '07

Hi, at news.opensuse.org the leftbar lists categories above calendar. So on many screens the calendar section with the events is below the fold. I think exchanging the two would be useful for the mayority of visitors of news.opensuse.org. Yes, I think showing the calendar/events more prominent is more important as the categories. Are there more people out there sharing my opinion?

[opensuse-wiki] Status new wiki skin
by Frank Sundermeyer 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Hi, a short note on the status of the new skin for the wiki: - the new skin is currently tested on staging. Staging has some real data from the wiki (half a year old), so we can test the skin in almost real life. This has revealed some minor CSS/Template issues I am currently fixing (Staging is our internal testing platform and not available from the outside) - the use of the new rss feed extension on the home page (which fetches the RSS data from news.opensuse.org) has revealed a serious issue with my template: the right navigation bar on the home page does not get parsed by the wiki - so wiki syntax including extension stuff will not work here. I have to admit that I haven't found a solution, yet (apart from a dirty hack I do not really want to implement). Anybody out there with in-depth knowledge of MediaWiki templating and wiki parsing functions? Planned steps: Once the template issue has been resolved, we are almost ready to go online. The last step will be to provide "ready to paste" new home pages on en.test.opensuse.org. Once the new skin is on production, these new starting pages will have to be transferred via cut & paste to production. Details on this procedure will follow in time. -- 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

[opensuse-wiki] Wiki Site Layout Suggestion (http://en.opensuse.org/Welcome_to_openSUSE.org)
by Christopher Cook 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Just a suggestion, http://www.opensuse.org/ got a new layout, which looks a lot nicer than the old one, and the Get It link there looks very nice and professional, but shouldn't the wiki site get a new layout as well? It would be more inviting. I don't know about you guys, but I always love to see a new layout or design on one of my favorite sites. Maybe I'm wrong and it seems nice and new enough? I'm open to any comments about this. It wouldn't serve much more than a cosmetic purpose, but it still may be time for an upgrade. -- Regards, Christopher Cook --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org
