Hi! The links in the Help sidebar point to pages in the wiki that have been relocated/deleted as part of the Wiki transition. These links now need to be corrected so they point to the right pages/namespaces.

[opensuse-wiki] Missing <p> tags
by Christian Boltz 11 Jul '10

11 Jul '10

Hello, I just noticed that in some cases the <p> tags are not rendered in wiki.o.o, which results in not-so-nice output. Example: http://wiki.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Debian_builds#Patch_format Wikitext of this section (only the broken paragraph): xUbuntu 6.06 additionally doesn't allow content after the <tt>@@..@@</tt> line. E.g. <pre>@@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ openvas-libraries.tmpl: openvas-librarie</pre> will fail while <pre>@@ -37,7 +37,7 @@</pre> will work just fine. Simply removing the content after the second <tt>@@</tt> should solve this. Resulting HTML: xUbuntu 6.06 additionally doesn't allow content after the <tt>@@..@@</tt> line. E.g. <pre>@@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ openvas-libraries.tmpl: openvas-librarie</pre> will fail while <pre>@@ -37,7 +37,7 @@</pre> will work just fine. Simply removing the content after the second <tt>@@</tt> should solve this. -> the paragraph is not wrapped in <p> / </p> We could discuss if nesting <pre> tags in a paragraph is good style and/or valid HTML (IMHO not really), but it still shouldn't break the margin-left ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- "Der Unterschied zwischen einem Windows- und Linux-User ist der, daß ein Linux-User lesen kann!"

KIWI-LTSP Guys, Most articles are transferred. (I noticed 1 or 2 missing) They are now put in the correct namespace, eliminating subpages of LTSP/. All pages are listed in the Navigation section of http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:KIWI-LTSP, Note that the wiki will be switched monday to http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:KIWI-LTSP. The "old" wiki will be put under old-en.opensuse.org. I cleaned up the category section off all the articles. All articles now only belong to [[Category:KIWI-LTSP]]. I made [[Category:KIWI-LTSP]] subcategory of [[Category:Education]] and [[Category:KIWI-Projects]] (These where first under every article, filling up the Category pages. The Portal:LTSP-WIKI is put in all 3 categories + [[Category:Portals]]. For now, Rajko has redirected the old page structure to the new. So that links from external sites don't get broken after transition. Also to keep the navigation between pages working, for now. The links between pages are still to be changed to point to the new page names and not the Redirect pages. If I understood Rajko correctly, the redirects will be removed in time, so make sure other pages outside the wiki will get pointed to the new pagenames! If you please can verify the following pages: http://wiki.opensuse.org/SDB:KIWI-LTSP_local_applications http://wiki.opensuse.org/SDB:KIWI-LTSP_transcoding This code was making trouble: <repository type="rpm-md"> <source path="http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.2/"/> </repository> Rajko enclosed text in <pre> and </pre> tags, so they will be ignored. Still to be done: Transferring Images for most off the articles, Change links between articles, Put some formatting in Category:KIWI-LTSP and the portal could use some touch up.

[opensuse-wiki] Pages not reviewed/migrated yet

Hi, FYI: in the process of updating the openSUSE documentation for 11.3, I reviewed all links pointing from our books to en.o.o . During that process I found some valuable articles on en.o.o which haven't been migrated or even reviewed that.

[opensuse-wiki] Portal page template
by Tim Mohlmann 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hi guys, Yesterday I created a new portal. I encountered a small bug. When a sub-page is edited, it doesn't get updated in the static box until I click edit and then save on the Portal main page. When a article is created or removed, the Project main page does get updated, including the earlier edits in other subpage. I remember to encountered the same bug when I edited a custom Navbar template (Template:openSSHNav). The Navbar didn't get updated in the pages showing it, until the edit -save action for each page. Also, working on the Portal I found some things that may be improved: Make templates to create a static box in one command. Create in a template called "Template:Portal intro box" {{Box-header|<big>Welcome to the {{PAGENAME}} Portal</big>|{{FULLPAGENAME}}/Intro|}} {{:{{FULLPAGENAME}}/Intro}} {{Box-footer|}} Create in template called "Template:Portal static box" {{Box-header|{{{1}}}|{{FULLPAGENAME}}/{{{1}}}|}} {{:{{FULLPAGENAME}}/{{{1}}}}} {{Box-footer|}} Create in template called "Template:Portal news box" {{Box-header|In the news|{{FULLPAGENAME}}/News|}} {{{{FULLPAGENAME}}/News}} {{Box-footer|[[{{FULLPAGENAME}}/News/Archive|More news...]]}} And a featured article page template would be nice, where a number of static boxes is created displaying all the Featured articles. I now created one manually on http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:KIWI-LTSP/Featured_article. It would be nice that the number of boxes created here correspond to the max= in {{Random portal component with nominate|max=5|header=Featured article|footer=More articles...| subpage=Featured article}} which is put on the Portal page. If you guys agree, I can create the static box templates. The featured article template however... I got no idea how to realize this.

[opensuse-wiki] An effort to improve the suse/openSUSE pages on Wikipedia
by Strainu 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hi all, I'm cross-posting this to both the wiki and the translation lists, as well as on the Romanian list in the hope that I will receive the broadest possible feedback. There are currently several issues with the way openSUSE is represented on non-english wikipedias: 1) There are different articles in different language (i.e. different articles for Suse Linux, openSUSE, SLES, SLED etc or just one article for all, with basically all the variations in between). 2) There is a lack of coverage for subjects related to openSUSE, like OBS, YaST, zypp etc. 3) The information in the articles might be out of date by up to several years. While I understand that it would be difficult for our global and local communities to also actively maintain the Wikipedia articles, I think we could take some steps to facilitate contributing to Wikipedia articles: 1) Find a common way to develop articles about openSUSE. 1.1 What articles should one start with (openSUSE, Suse Linux, openSUSE Project?) and what parts could get separate articles in a second/third phase? 1.2 How should all the articles relate to each other? 1.3 What resources from the openSUSE wiki could be relevant to the various articles? 1.4 How can one minimize the quantity of information that "deprecates" rapidly? 2) Make sure that relevant images from the openSUSE wiki are also available in Wikipedia. Would it be feasible to use Wikimedia Commons as a repository for some of our free images (at least the screenshots)? I know that any mediawiki installation can use commons as an image repository under certain conditions. 3) Encourage the translators to get involved in writing the Wikipedia articles in their language. How can we do that best? If an openSUSE wiki exists in that language, perhaps we could somehow keep in sync a page on the openSUSE wiki and on Wikipedia? 4) Write all of the above on an wiki page (what title should it have?) :) I'm looking forward to your ideas regarding the points raised in this email.

[opensuse-wiki] SSH Tunnels form Microsoft Windows
by Tim Mohlmann 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Hi, What you opinion on supporting this in the wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/SSH_Tunnels_from_Microsoft_Windows. It's clearly a windows / PuTTY howto. Maybe it's more appropriate mentioning PuTTY somewhere, with some short possibilities. (eg in the openSSH article). I feel that strict Windows Howto's, that don't really touch openSUSE (maybe only when you are actually accessing an openSSH server which is maybe running on Linux and than maybe on openSUSE), don't belong in the wiki. That's an opinion off course. Greetings, Tim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Strategy Discussion in new wiki?

We've created some pages in the "old" wiki for the strategy discussion and I'd like to move these to the new wiki. Currently the pages are reachable via http://en.opensuse.org/Documents/Strategy Where should these life in the new wiki? I'll do the move myself, just need some guidance on the location - and will then ask for review when done. Also, I just send a reference to what the Meego project does for Developer engagement. I'd like to collect such references for community building in our wiki. Any ideas for a good location?

[opensuse-wiki] Portals for 11.1, 11.2, 11.3
by Rajko M. 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

They all need content or fixes that I have no time to do. http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:Distribution Seems to be fine. http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:11.1 We need all from scratch. http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:11.2 Partially done. It needs more content and maybe some cleanup. http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:11.3 We need all from scratch. Help docs for editing Portal pages will be added to the rest of the help pages as time permits. For now, if basic instructions below don't answer you questions, just ask. Basic is that content is added or edited in subpages using Edit link on the top right side of frame title line. Example: http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:11.2 Frame title: Related portals link edit Click edit and it will open http://wiki.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Portal:11.2/Related_portals&action… Do changes. Check how it looks like with "Show preview" button under the edit field. When satisfied, click "Save page" button. Saved page is now: http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:11.2/Related_portals You can see that is not the actual portal page. Click on link Portal:11.2 and you will be back to the: http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:11.2 Check layout of portal pages. New content should not go out of the frame, or garble the Portal page in any way. When all is done, please report here, so that someone from wiki team can review changes and approve them for publishing. We use http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs that allows edits, but by default it shows only approved version (flagged as good) to the casual wiki visitors, so to make changes visible for everybody as soon as possible they need approval. -- 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] openssh - tunneling x over openssh articles etc.
by Tim Mohlmann 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hi there, I'm currently (and already some time now) busy with editing, creating and upgrading articles about openssh and prepare them for transition. At the moment there are many different articles about forwarding X display through a ssh connection, only under different names. There are some I encountered on my search on the wiki, although I didn't write them down. (At that time I thought I was only going to change a few words in the openSSH article). When this is finished I want to start on one good article about X forwarding, taking all the information in the existing articles, saving to check and move all this pages. Most of them are incomplete or obsolete anyway. Is there some Temporary namespace, where I can create a page to make this inventory (for myself). And if anyone encounters or knows an article, throw it on the list. I know your really busy with the transition right now, If I can help, just shout. But, I'm not a wiki expert. Neither a Linux expert, but I see the wiki as a handy notebook for myself, how I got things working. Since, the wiki and other Internet sources are not always 100% correct. That's how I started with this. Just a small note on my current work, you might see that some links to articles are not working. That's because it's already prepared to serve the new wiki. Anyway, the links are just quickly created to have something there (In the knowledge bar and at the bottom. I will invest more time in them after the transition.

[opensuse-wiki] Plan Status?
by Klaas Freitag 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hi, I have a question regarding the current plan and the status of the Wiki migration. If I remember correctly the plan was to switch to the new english (and the german?) wiki before 11.3 comes out, is that still the plan? When looking at the Todo-Page at [1] one still finds a lot of free spaces in the list in the "Who"-Column. Is the list up to date? Or does that matter at all? It would be great if the Wiki Team could clearify on this a bit because I think the new wiki is quite important for a nice 11.3 "Party" and it would be good to know about the facts there.

I did not work on that, but basic idea is to fetch numbers automatically, and to automatically fill in Weekly news, by replacing $VARIABLE with actual value. I CC this to wiki list, so that people there can see and help. What is the idea? To have stats that are published in each Weekly news automatically updated. For instance, use variables in wiki text and fill in values every week before publishing. ==openFATE Team ===Statistics=== Total: $OPENFATE_TOTAL $OPENFATE_TOTAL_DIFF Unconfirmed:$OPENFATE_UNCONFIRMED $OPENFATE_UNCONFIRMED_DIFF New: $OPENFATE_NEW $OPENFATE_NEW_DIFF Evaluation: $OPENFATE_EVALUATION $OPENFATE_EVALUATION_DIFF Candidate: $OPENFATE_CANDIDATE $OPENFATE_CANDIDATE_DIFF Done: $OPENFATE_DONE $OPENFATE_DONE_DIFF Rejected: $OPENFATE_REJECTED $OPENFATE_REJECTED_DIFF Duplicate: $OPENFATE_DUPLICATE $OPENFATE_DUPLICATE_DIFF There are similar stats for bugzilla, forums and mail lists. There is solution that script will load all stats in one article weekly and then we can substitute it to the Weekly news article itself, just before release. The other is to work on weekly news text directly. Substitution is similar how templates work (transclusion), but it is permanent change to the wiki text. The syntax is {{subst:Some_article}} . So we need ideas how this can be solved the easiest possible way. -- Regards Rajko, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org
