[opensuse-wiki] Small CSS issue
by Christian Boltz 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hello, I noticed a small issue with the CSS at wiki.o.o. If I reduce the width of the browser window (say: to 800px width), the main menu moves below the dark bar at the top - even if there is enough space left to display it. The search box also moves down, but this is the smaller issue ;-) The fix is easy: http://wiki.opensuse.org/skins/bento/css_local/style.css line 5 to 7 contain #header ul#global-navigation { width: 650px; /* to get space for advanced search */ } Changing it to "width: auto" fixes the issue - the menu stays in the dark bar, and the search box also only moves down if there isn't enough space in the dark bar left. BTW: https://static.opensuse.org/themes/bento/css/base.css has #header ul#global-navigation { ... width: 700px; } so you'll really need the "width: auto;" in style.css. I'm not sure what the comment "to get space for advanced search" in style.css means (maybe it refers to 650px vs. 700px), but as far as I can tell, my change doesn't break anything ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Wenn du in deiner procmail spamassassin stehen hast, dann wird für jede eintrudelnde Mail das komplette Programm gestartet, inclusive Initialisierung und PiPaPo - also, ich mache meine Wohnung am liebsten mit der Zentralheizung warm, nicht mit meiner Festplatte. ;-) [Ratti in suse-linux] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] What will happen to Wiki after June 1st. ?
by Satoru Matsumoto 21 May '10

21 May '10

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who engage in and work hard on the transition of Wiki. I'm sorry if I missed important announcements and discussions on this list, but some things are still not quite clear to me. 1. After June 1st., when DNS entry for en.o.o will be switched, how can we reach the contents that are on the old instance (current en.o.o) and {aren't,won't be} transfered to the new instance? <Off Topic> BTW, is it really 'DNS entry switch'? 'nslookup' tells me that IP address of both wiki.o.o and en.o.o are same - 130.57.4.24 - ATM, and when I tried to open http://130.57.4.24/Main_Page , Firefox shows me the message '300 Multiple Choices - Your request could not be processed for this multi-homed web site because no host header was present that identifies which host to access'. So, it might be an Apache configuration issue. ;-) </Off Topic> 2. What will be needed for $LANG.o.o as soon as possible after June 1st.? Is there any list, on which we can see which pages are expected to be updated on each $LANG.o.o promptly after the transition of en.o.o? Pages which are listed in 'Mandatory pages' on 'Help:Translation' are just enough? http://wiki.opensuse.org/Help:Translation#Mandatory_pages I think many problems will be expected to occur after the transition. For example, since names of many pages on en.o.o will be moved to new names in accordance with the new concepts, many Interwiki links (at least, link to English page) in existing pages on $LANG.o.o will no longer work, and, since the version of MediaWiki and many templates are updated for en.o.o, when we create a new translation page on $LANG.o.o by copying the wiki source from the original page on en.o.o and pasting it to $LANG.o.o, the layout might be broken. 3. Any deadlines or milestones for transition of $LANG.o.o are assumed? I read the thread 'German Wiki & Multi-Language Concept' on the archive of this list http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse-wiki/2010-04/msg00002.html and noticed that 'creating a new languages-server languages.opensuse.org serving as a temporary instance for initial translation efforts' is proposed. Will it be realized and translators will be able to use those temporary instances for their transition? If not, when will all the $LANG.o.o be switched to new instance (I mean, when the version of MediaWiki for $LANG.o.o will be updated), or, will they remain as they are now? There may be many other things we have to think of for transition of $LANG.o.o, but I don't think they are clear to translators ATM. Isn't it about time we start to think of what are necessary after June 1st.?

[opensuse-wiki] Preparing Wiki Launch on June 1st
by Rupert Horstkötter 19 May '10

19 May '10

Team, on June 1st we'll release the new wiki at wiki.o.o to the public, i.e. we'll switch the DNS to en.o.o. Thus it's time to prepare the PR side of things and come up with an announcement. I'll prepare it and I'm going to post it in parallel to the actual DNS switch on June 1st to news.o.o, opensuse-project ml and the forums (suggestions welcome for additional channels). That said, I'm looking forward to get brainstorming input from the team about what we actually have to present to the public on June 1st. I certainly will take care of the usual "social motivation and sexy presentation" but from a technical perspective I'd appreciate a kind of a list of new features and enhancements. Please try to provide answers on questions like 1. Why is the new wiki that great? 2. Why should people visit it? 3. What differs from the experience of the old wiki at en.o.o? 4. ... let your brain sputter :-) Gathering input on this should lead to a pretty cool presentation of the new wiki. I hope to utilize the momentum such an announcement generates in order to raise community's attention, i.e. to gain new contributors for the rest of the transtion from the, then archived, old wiki. I'll trigger Marketing (in CC:) to support us with Microblogging etc. in order to spread the news as much as we can at launch date. The announcement should be ready until last weekend of May, so gathering brainstorming input is open for approx. one week from now on. Thanks a lot in advance to everyone for supporting this, R -- Rupert Horstkötter, open-slx gmbh openSUSE Board Member openSUSE Community Assistant http://en.opensuse.org/User:Rhorstkoetter Email: rhorstkoetter(a)opensuse.org Jabber: ruperthorstkoetter(a)googlemail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] "11.2 <topic>" is not the best way to name current article
by Rajko M. 18 May '10

18 May '10

http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:Distribution/Features "11.2 <topic>" is not the best way to reference to current version of <topic>. It would be probably better to use * "Current <topic>", like "Current release" * "<topic>" , like "Release" where is transcluded version specific article, which avoids "redirected from" message and link. * "<topic> (current)" It creates titles that have to be updated on every release, which is not that hard if above article would be the only one, but from current en.o.o experience it is clear that one prominent example is followed and after some time there a tens of articles that need regular updates. Maybe there is something better that didn't come up yet, like some of extensions "DoNotShowAfter", "ExpirationDate", "MoveToArchiveAfter" :) -- 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] Move Weekly News to new Instance
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hello Mates, atm i´m busy with moving Weekly News to the new Instance. Now we located in openSUSE:Weekly_News. But i´ve two Questions: 1.) Is it possible to simplify the Transfer? Maybe Script or so... Otherwise we must import every Weekly News and 4 Languages under en.o.o by hand. 2.) How can i use the http://wiki.opensuse.org/Template:Teams? If i put {{Teams}} into my Startpage, i don´t can change the Icon and Description. I think i make anything false... -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns open-slx GmbH openSUSE Community & Support Agent openSUSE Marketing Team Blog: http://saigkill.wordpress.com Web: http://www.open-slx.de (openSUSE Box Support German) Web: http://www.open-slx.com (openSUSE Box Support English)

[opensuse-wiki] Meta category for all articles is Category:openSUSE project
by Rajko M. 17 May '10

17 May '10

I sorted out all categories that appear in: http://wiki.opensuse.org/Special:UncategorizedCategories to one Category:openSUSE project http://wiki.opensuse.org/Category:openSUSE_project This way it is easier to spot categories that are really not categorized. The Category:Mimetype should be changed to "Mimetype icons" and all files there recategorized to new category. Word "mimetype" means more then type of icons. The sentence of the day is "Learn from the Wikipedia". -- 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] Templates for new pages.
by Rajko M. 17 May '10

17 May '10

Can we have template that has separated: * content that people should use, * help files * layout samples and examples. I see in the Template:Teams the same mix (mess) of all of the above, as it was in the article template in the old wiki. That makes use of template laborious erasing of not wanted content, before one can start writing. We can't use <noinclude> tag as with other templates; MultiBoilerplate doesn't honor it. One link to Help:Team_page_template that has to be erased as soon as article is ready for publishing can help, until Thomas or Christian finds time to fix the MultiBoilerplate. The other way would be to use InputBox ability to create new article from content on any page. That way we can point potential author to instructions with InputBox set to create new page. The template can be the same as it is in the MultiBoilerplate. InputBox will serve people that create article for the first time and MultiBoilerplate would be for those that know what they want. -- Regards Rajko, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org
