Hi
Last2kn0 asks me to come up with my problem here on this list. So here I am.... ;-)
Trying to summarize the background:
The Education Team wants to categorize their applications into subcategories to get the following advantages:
* Reduce the size of http://en.opensuse.org/Education/Applications/Desktop in the end we hopefully can create a portal like wiki page linking to the different sub-categories.
* Use the same Categories as the freedesktop.org Standard suggests. So users who find an application (for example) in his Education -> Art desktop menu, can find the same application - and even more - in the corresponding wiki category ([[Category:Education Art]] in this example).
In the result we will get around 17-20 new Subcategories. As Last2kn0 told me, this will not match with the current goal of the wiki team to reduce the categories.
Second problem: As nearly every application can be used in an educational background, this needs adaptations to the current package descriptions in the wiki. We need to add the corresponding education category to applications like (for example) Audacity. As you can see: http://en.opensuse.org/Audacity will at least have one additional Category in the bottom of the page: "Education Art". Perhaps we can remove the "Education Applications" Category in the end - but this is currently no option for us.
The main parts of the discussion can be found here: http://en.opensuse.org/User_talk:Last2kn0 and here: http://en.opensuse.org/User_talk:Lrupp
As the education team wants to release the first version for openSUSE 10.3 in a few weeks, it would be fine if I can get a "final" decision from the wiki team if we can go on with our work or not.

As a recap, I did not tell you that you could not have subcategories. Instead I suggested that you put your subcategories under your Education_Applications category. Wouldn't it make sense to have subcategories under their parent category as they are *sub*categories. So what I meant was categorize your Education_Art Category as Education and not as Applications. This would make more sense anyways in relating to how your menu structure is according to freedesktop. In a menu you go to Education, then art. So in the wiki, you go to the education category then inside this category you go to education art category. Education and education art should not be in the same menu level. This does fit into the category hierarchy if you make that simple change. To your second problem: Possibly under education you could make a category called opensuse-education-apps or something. This could contain all apps that are considered within the opensuse education project. Hopefully once the opensuse wiki portal gets running we can make a portal to accommodate your needs. This will be a better solution than categories. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
