Well. I was extremely upset by what I've seen. May be too much upset. I keep there in the bottom what I wrote at first, for reference :-). But I don't want to be rude. I want to be effective. Do you think the new wiki, like it is, can make *new* contributors come to openSUSE? can it make *old* contributors keep coming? say, somebody on a mailing list or on the forum give an usefull info. I say "please insert this in the wiki" Is it possible to do in less than 5 clics? I don't think so. I may keep making doc on the forum (http://forums.opensuse.org/other-languages/francais-french/contributions/doc...) sorry jdd Le 15/07/2010 10:51, Rémy Marquis a écrit :
What about http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Wiki, which is accessible from the main landing page? See "Topic" section.
well... the wiki article is in no way appealing. I don't see any "come with us" "join us here" On the old main page the word "participate" was present twice, now only once and with no links ("Come right in and learn how to participate in our efforts"). the http://en.opensuse.org/Help:Transfer page could be more visible, at least for some weeks I must say I really dislike how the wiki is now presented. My feeling is extremely negative. I'm very sorry to say so because I know how uch work was devoted on it :-(. But I feel extremely unwelcome on the new instance. ost words I read mean for me "get out" "With this structure of the content we ensure that this wiki is only used for what it's good for" but where is the old way "everybody can find it's info with google on the wiki", "everybody can write what he find" I have *no* interest on quality insurance. I don't think it's a acheivable goal. I was extremely reluctant on writing to the old SDB namespace, because it's unfriendly, and now all is SDB? I don't care of a nice, smart... and empty wiki. look precisely: "Structure The content in this wiki is separated by topic in a couple of namespaces. Most prominently the main namespace (with no prefix) for the presentation of the latest openSUSE Distribution, think of it as the product brochure, for people who are new to openSUSE and maybe to Linux in general. The support database's SDB: namespace for people who have a problem with the openSUSE distribution and seek written instruction on how to solve it. And the openSUSE community's openSUSE: namespace to collaboratively write on documentation for their projects and teams. With this structure of the content we ensure that this wiki is only used for what it's good for." so main namespace is for a "brochure" that is plain advertisement. openSUSE is for projects and teams only SDB remain. this is not a notepad, a "drop an idea" a "I just found this" wich makes most of what i seek. At least it lacks badly a "wikipage sandbox", where all the informal info could be written I remember, I said very often "go to the wiki, go to your own page, write there the name of the page you want to write and write as you like. We will keep track of the formatting" jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-support-the-Linux-Documentation-Project/3720... http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-fan-page-of-Claire-Dodin/106485119372062?v... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
