Hello, bugs.opensuse.org still redirects to the (now empty) page http://en.opensuse.org/Submit_a_Bug Can someone please update the redirect to a working page? ;-) It should probably point to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports Regards, Christian Boltz -- http://portal.suse.com/sdb/de/1997/09/maddin_kopieren.html Der Artikel wird demnächst 7, sollte also in die zweite Klasse Grundschule gehen, sobald die Ferien vorbei sind...

[opensuse-wiki] Transferring articles
by Tim Mohlmann 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Hi Guys, I encountered ( as noted in the LTSP topic) that transferring can only be done by members of the "administrators" group. I'm more than willing to help with this. To be more specific, I'm kinda stuck here on LTSP and I want to complete it, as now I have the time to do it. I send a list to Rajko what to be transferred and to what name/location. I know he's busy and I don't want to push him, but I also hate to be patient. I do not have the ambition to become an "administrator" , but maybe there's a possibility to create a temporary group eg. "transfer" and add everybody in there that is allowed to import articles. Including me and the current "administrators" Greets, Tim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Wiki Update
by Matthew Ehle 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Hello, Here are a couple of quick items for you reference regarding the wiki: -Bug #619735 has been resolved and is awaiting verification. The /var partition on the backup web server got filled with logging. Since session data was also stored on the partition, new sessions were not being created. This was not a problem on the primary web server, which is why the problem was intermittent. Since cleaning out the partition, the problem seems to have gone away. If I don't hear anything about it happening in the next couple of days, I will close it. -I have installed the MultiUpload extension on the new wikis. Right now, you can access it at Special:MultipleUploads. However, I can easily make it the default uploader. Tim and I wanted to bring this up for a discussion. I think it is something that users will appreciate. If we make it the default, we may also want to edit the theme to say Upload files (plural) in the Toolbox, instead of the singular form. -Speaking of extensions, I was wondering if one or more of you might go through the list of extensions we have installed to make sure that they are all needed. We have an awful lot in there (twice as many as in the legacy wiki!), and I am a little concerned about the wiki getting bloated. It's no big deal if all the extensions are being used, but at the same time, I want to make sure that we they are being used. Thanks! -Matt

[opensuse-wiki] Merging [[Portal:11.3/News]] and [[In the press]]?
by pistazienfresser 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Hello list! Shall [[Portal:11.3/News]] and [[In the press]] be merged? Maybe [[In the press]] (name? [[In the media]]?) could become a portal with a 11.3 or a 11.3-press window/subpage? - Could this subpage used by [[Portal:11.3]] also? But then a coherent (and informative?) way of formating the references would be fine (see: http://en.opensuse.org/Talk:In_the_press ) Greetings pistazienfresser -- - openSUSE profile: https://users.opensuse.org/show/pistazienfresser -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

No, they are hosted with the Novell blogs on a different server. That's why I provided the PHP page to run svn up for you guys, so that you could be able to test without having to wait on me every time you want to try out your theme changes. If it is better for you, there should be no reason you can't set this us on a local LAMP server as well. I can get you dumps of the test databases. The only thing you will need to do differently is to use the Modify Headers FF extension to "log in". You just need to set it up to inject the following header info, and it should take you right through the login page: X-cn -> your username X-email -> your email address as it is on your www.novell.com account If that is something you want to be able to do, I'll be on GWIM in about another hour. Ping me there, and I'll get you a database to work with. -Matt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Complaints
by Tim Mohlmann 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Then I will move it myself. jdd, It's not that I want to attack you, I'm not calling you useless. Probably 90% off the people working around openSUSE have more contribs then me. But if you come with problems, make it short facts. one by one, explain how to do it better and if it makes sense we can do something about it. Just writing endless complaints isn't motivating anybody to listen to you and do something about it. I'm just saying, redesigning the namespace again, it's far to late for that, so it's useless to discuss it. Yes, the main namespace should be like a brochure, but no, it is certainly not the working domain of the wiki team. We got other tings going on, like transferring more articles to make the wiki more complete. If we would like to restrict the pages, we would make it protected. You and anyone can edit all namespaces, there are only certain rules to follow, to give it a more organized structure than it was. And the hostile feeling about SDB: I know where it comes from, it used to be a namespace full of not updated articles and only to be used by experts. The new wiki is a nice opportunity to change this. Make it more complete and make it a real Support Database. See it as one big helpfile. I changed to this subject, since we like to use the Transferring Articles thread for quick questions to each other, while doing the job: transferring articles, with the structure how it is now. If somebody heads in trouble, he uses that thread. It's not meant for this discussions. If you are actually transferring an article and you have a question about it, or trouble, use that thread. For anything else, find or create another thread. >> Why? what's so hard about it? Type search, if the article doesn't >> exist, you click the red link in the search results, done! > > and go to the main namespace? Is that the good way? (I hope so :-) No, because if you look for a how to or support article, you search with SDB: If it doesn't show up, you can create it with SDB: prefix, if that of course what you are looking for. And typing SDB: can be used for people who know that support articles are located under SDB. People who don't know (are usually people that came around just a couple of times) go to http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Support and search under Problem Solutions. So they don't have to worry about the SDB prefix.

[opensuse-wiki] Download help on the download page
by Atri Bhattacharya 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Hi! In the main page http://software.opensuse.org/112/en none of the links work, they have to be modified to point to the correct location. For example see the section "Need help?" There is a "Download Help" link right below it that points to http://en.opensuse.org/Download_Help which is of course an empty page. The correct link should be http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Download_Help Similarly for all following links to en.o.o. This is *the page* for tomorrow, can't go wrong here :) Bye -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Wiki Transition
by Matthew Ehle 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Hello All, Last week, I posted an article on the news blog about the schedule for the move of the new wiki to en.opensuse.org. To summarize, the change will begin at 17:00 UTC (~30 minutes from now) and will last 10-15 minutes. Please make sure to wrap up any work you are doing on the new wiki by this time, so that you do not lose anything. I will send another message to the list when I am finished, and you may resume any work you are doing at that time. If you have any questions, please give me a call at my office at 1 801-861-2722. Thanks, Matt
