[opensuse-wiki] Media Wiki skin on OpenSuse.org
Hey, I am one of the organizers of http://foss.in , India's biggest free and open source events. For the event site we would very much like to re-use the media wiki skin being used on http://opensuse.org. Is the skin copyrighted to someone (Novell?) or owned by someone in the community. We would be very grateful if we could "re"use for our site. Thanks for the help in advance. -- Shreyas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

I dont think it would be a good idea to use the same skin. We put much afford in creating an unique skin for our wiki. If you want to use 100% the same skin ... i would say .. no. For copyright questions i pinged Frank. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

Sure, we dont intend to use the exact same style. We will modify it, but its much easier to derive a new style by re-using an existing one. Thanks, for the response. If there is no issue with the copy right then we would like to look at the skin and modify it accordingly. Needless to say as an event which is run by the community the last thing we would like to do is to duplicate/dilute all the branding that wiki and its layout has given to OpenSuse.

I will send you the PHP and CSS files via PM. It would be nice if you would give openSUSE credits on your server. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, SUSE LINUX GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.novell.com/ "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

Will do so, thanks a lot. I will forward a link to the list once we have modified it to suit our requirements.
