: One of the topics we discussed at the IRC meeting on Friday was Wikipedia-like Portals. Here I'd like to summarize how we could make use of it and what steps are needed.
the"Main Portal" needs to be consistent with the Portal approach you work on for "deeper" hierarchies of openSUSE documentation
[...]
We urgently need to sync the efforts Shayon is currently working on (http://en.opensuse.org/Portal_New) for the "Main Portal" with the progress you make - from my perspective these are heavily related - I mean, the "Main Portal" is so to speak the parent of all the others, isn't it?
We talk about two different things here. Structure and Layout. You can't have one through the other. You have to have both to make a good wiki.
For instance no matter how well you layout the new portal page you will never get a better structure through that layout than: "We stuff everything into portals". So you will end up with a messy wiki.
Or if you structure everything nicely but that structure is not visible on the pages through templates, navboxes or even categories then you will also end up with a messy wiki.
Its the combination of both that makes for nice wikis. You have to have a structure that works and is easily expandable and you have to have a layout that is supporting that structure and is easily usable. So far we only worked on one or the other. I think it's time that we start combining both.
