Team,
while this isn't particularly urgent currently,
I looked what kind of pages gives RSS, it is: Recent changes - any article change Related changes - any article mentioned in article Page history - the History link and possibly some other pages that present reports.
Thanks for investigating this. Is it possible to get RSS: Recent changes just for certain namespaces (distro documentation)?
IMO, we should create guidelines that will encourage people to post links to pages that they want to be reviewed, not to feed automatically all changes. For all changes there is already wiki page Special:Recentchanges.
I don't think that encouraging people to post links to the forums (for review) would work out. See it like that: Who would use it? People knowledged about the wiki (Remy, you, Shayon, etc). How wouldn't use it? People we'd like to encourage to do so. You see the problem I'd like to raise your attention upon? That said, it already has been agreed to go for the QA as described (Forum/FlaggedRevs) and I'm not on the same page to start over now and put this in question (not before failing in testing) as it's an (if not the) integral part of our QA concept to get rid of the mess we previously had. The review process should be a requirement and not the desired road to get a "sighted/quality" flag. At least, while I see your concerns below, I'd like to test this before adjusting the concept/coming up with alternatives. IMO it's an investigation issue. We need to find out how this really behaves and what opportunities we have. This actually is the reason I ask for testing. As of spamming the forums: Certainly we need to configure this right (as said above, we wouldn't like to discourage contributors/proof-readers, I'm on the same page here) 1. Only article changes from interesting namespaces (distro documentation) should be posted 2. Already created threads for a certain article should be re-opened instead of creating a new thread. That all doesn't hinder people to ask questions in addition to the automatic QA process btw. Thomas Schmidt posted this http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-wiki/2010-02/msg00083.html today to the list and as I read it, it could help us here. What do you think about it? I'll right now answer Thomas and point him to the discussion taking place here. Best, R
The same recommendation will apply for wiki editors, instead of reading pages and solving problems on their own, just post question, or request for help, with link in the forum and let people comment.
We have to make wiki closer to forum readers, but that will not happen by slamming forum with hundreds of threads that no one will have time to read, or only few will attract attention.
As what to publish right now we can ask forum to come with proposal.
