[opensuse-wiki] Links in the Help sidebar for the openSUSE Download page

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. 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] 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!"

I will pick this up. Maybe it would be nice to create a category tree for this pages. I'm sure I already encountered a page containing something like it, or am I getting confused here.

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
by Frank Sundermeyer 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

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. Unfortunately I do not have the time to migrate them myself, therefore I have listed them at http://wiki.opensuse.org/Help:Todo under "specific pages" so they do not get lost. -- 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 Nuernberg) "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

My fault, intended to send to mailing list: 2010/7/9 Tim Mohlmann <muhlemmer(a)gmail.com>: Henne, I saw you todo list under http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:GNOME. But there are many, many subpages of Gnome, not listed here (thank God). 223 pieces to be exactly.

[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.

Jigish, Created the redirects. Can you please merge http://en.opensuse.org/LTSP/Cluster/Setup and http://en.opensuse.org/LTSP/Cluster. After that we will transfer them. Both are describing how to setup a KIWI-LTSP cluster. Maybe you could also point to the possibility of cluster (and a basic description) in the Portal's Featured articles.

[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.

Sorry for the poor formatting of this email, I just can't seem to get it right today :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org
