[opensuse-wiki] Wiki Transition + Next Meeting
by Rupert Horstkötter 05 Dec '09

05 Dec '09

Team, as a follow-up to the thread "ATTENTION: please keep organization in mind" I posted one week ago to the list, I'd like to summarize what we have and what we need to do next. 1. Rajko did in awesome job with the evaluation of FlaggedRevs extension and his result is promising. If there are no complaints, we'll use this extension for our QA process in combination with the Wiki Forum at forums.o.o I currently take care of (see 1a). Rajko provided a showcase of FlaggedRevs at http://en.… [View More]opensuse.org/openSUSE:Extension_FlaggedRevs General information is at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs 1a. I myself discussed the creation of the Wiki Forum (see 1) at forums.o.o with the Forums Team and it now should be just a matter of bureaucracy it get it live - I got great support from the Forums Team here. The current request is to press the button once we need the Wiki Forum in place. 2. Rajko, Shayon and Remy already made good progress with the wiki-templates. The result is available at http://en.opensuse.org/Template and http://en.opensuse.org/Daily_templates. We still need to think about an article-template to ensure a consistent look&feel of Tutorial pages. 3. As soon as possible I'll get started with the creation of the Guidelines. I'd appreciate any helping hand interested in contributing here. We need to explain the proper Wiki Usage, the creation of articles from a design, formulation, conception and syntax perspective. The Templates need to be linked and the QA Process (FlaggedRevs in combination with the Wiki Forum) need to be explained in detail. I'll definitely need input from Wiki Seniors to explain the one or the other aspect. 4. If there are no complaints, we'll go for Henne's 3rd approach to start with a new instance from scratch, move just the content we want while taking care of a consistent look&feel, the conformity of Tutorials with the principles defined in the Guidelines and the Content Structure Henne proposed earlier (i.e. a variant of that). For your reference, here it is once again: Main -> Portal:11.2 -> /Features -> /Screenshots -> /Screenshots/KDE -> /Screenshots/UserDesktops -> /Press -> /SDB -> SDB:ASUS_WL-160N_USB_Wireless_Adapter -> keep older versions in $VERSION namespace e.g. 11.1:Features and 1.11:Screenshots/GNOME -> Portal:Project -> Project:Guiding Principles -> Project:Teams -> Project:Teams/Boosters_Team -> Project:Teams/Boosters_Team/Tasks -> Project:Teams/GNOME -> Project:Teams/GNOME/Submitting_Bugs -> Project:Communication -> Project:Communication/Mailinglists -> Project:Communication/Mailinglists/Etiquette -> Project:Communication/Forums -> Project:Communication/IRC -> Project:Communication/Meetings -> Project:Communication/Meetings/Archive -> Project:Tools -> Project:Tools/Build Service -> Project:Tools/Build_Service/Concepts -> Portal:Wiki -> Meta::Structure -> Meta:Structure/Templates -> Meta:Structure/Namespaces -> Meta:Styleguide Remaining task here is to come up with transition guidelines. Petr/Henne? Shoud we do this in collaboration? 5. Frank needs input about http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team/Requested_Extensions in order to get started with the fresh instance - we certainly need FlaggedRevs as our QA flagship but please provide input about the rest in order to support Frank. 6. Once we have everything in place and the new instance up and running we need to get started with http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team/Checked_Pages - select what we'd like to transfer, assure consistent design and categorize it into the new structure while utilizing the templates. So far the organizational things... That said, I'd like to schedule the next Meeting to get everyone involved on IRC to be able to discuss the Transition and steps we need to take care of in a real time conversation. In contrast to our last Meeting I'd appreciate very much to have all Wiki Seniors attending along with the Boosters, Henne and Frank. Thus I won't schedule until I got input about availability of all parties - please tell me what time during the week is most appropriate for you. I myself prefer to schedule on CET evening to assure a sufficient time for american and indian participants (Shayon) while still have a sufficient time for european participants in place. Please, let's approximately target end of next week OR beginning of the week after next week. Thanks in advance for your support - I try to come up with a date/time that's appreciated by all parties.

[opensuse-wiki] RFC:Title capitalization on the openSUSE wiki
by Rajko M. 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

We've discussed which style of capitalization should be used on our wiki. Couple of years ago I changed requirement to use Wikipedia style and gave example of "Benefits of Open Office" and "Benefits of open office" as sample where first can't make difference between institution called Open Office and work style that keeps some office open in some way, while Wikipedia style is clear in that proper noun is written capitalized, and all other nouns not. The currently active Wiki Team is for … [View More]

Hello, I just noticed that the PDF links on en.opensuse.org/Linuxtag are broken. They contain a black square at the bottom-right and are no longer clickable.

[opensuse-wiki] Wiki Forum
by Rupert Horstkötter 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Team, JFYI, I'll get started with a discussion about the creation of a Wiki Forum as part of our QA process (proof-reading) with the Forums Team over at forums.o.o (I have access to the private team area). Besides the proof-reading aspect I feel this appropriate as a discussion platform for the Wiki Team with the openSUSE Community (getting feedback, providing guidance, ..., collaboration from a long term perspective, i.e. transforming valuable Forums content into tutorial-style articles for … [View More]

[opensuse-wiki] Something wrong with login page ??
by Rajko M. 18 Nov '09

I attached small image that is large enough to explain the problem. Is that my Konqueror, or it is the page? Reloading the page doesn't help. Firefox is OK. -- Regards, Rajko openSUSE Wiki Team: http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team People of openSUSE: http://en.opensuse.org/People_of_openSUSE/About

[opensuse-wiki] ATTENTION: please keep organization in mind
by Rupert Horstkötter 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Team, I'm pretty much satisfied with the progress we make with the Usability Concept, no question, but there's one thing we constantly need to take care of - not losing organization and having the big picture in mind. That said, I'd like provide an attempt to structure the tasks we need to achieve at first glance and especially order them appropriately: We need to... 1. agree on the QA process - Rajko is currently reviewing FlaggedRevs and approx. ETA is end of this week (this is important … [View More]
