Rajko M.
Thanks for hanging around.
I guess that having link to http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Style_Guide http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Browse http://en.opensuse.org/Portal/Templates with very short explanation that they should be used as guidance will help a lot.
And categories in openSUSE:Browse would be the official ones.
As mentioned, no one can prevent users from creating new categories, the Wikipedia has tons of them, but with set of official categories wiki editors would have lesser to worry about. Message to users would be simple: If you want your article to be automatically listed in 'openSUSE Browse' than
use provided categories.
The general idea is to limit wiki editors focus to some articles so that quality can be raised. New guys, when they come with question where they can help, should have answer, not as I used to say: "Look around and find what would you like to do."

This all sounds good. Now I'm wondering, seeing as though we do not have too many people focused on reorganizing the wiki, where do you think us few should concentrate our efforts first? Should we be working on this idea of official categories or focusing more on the portal? Maybe once these two projects get going we can keep a running page of what portals need maintainers and what aspects of the wiki need work. This way, we can point new editors to this page and ask them to choose a focal point. I know there are many parts to the wiki and the list could easily get large, but we could at least have some main sections and most definitely a list of the unmaintained portals. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
