[opensuse-wiki] Article namespace-screening

Hi, the last days i started with namespace-screening of all first-level articles of en.o.o. Divided those into SDB:, openSUSE: and main Namespace (and marked those as obsolete which were already marked as obslete or looked obsolete to me). The intermediate result is: http://people.b1-systems.de/~gollub/private/wiki.o.o/namespace-review.php - main: 15 articles - SDB: 549 articles - openSUSE: 543 articles - obsolete: 447 articles - not-yet-reviewed/undecided: 231 articles main ~~~~ Quality selection for openSUSE Distro. presentation. Require some more dedicated promo wiki pages which are not mixed-up with instructions or too many technical details ... Baybe i couldn't find the intended good wiki pages. (Or is there only the openSUSE_$Version page for each release for promo?) SDB ~~~~ All HOWTOs, tutorial, (hardware-setup) instructions, guides, support instructions, tips, ... not directly relevant to the openSUSE- project/development. But relevant for the openSUSE distribution. There are several articles which were intentionally something like an application/project promotion page, but ended up to be a setup-instruction ... so the title might be often misleading. openSUSE: ~~~~~~~~~ * everything direct related to openSUSE Distro. development, contribution, (/Bugs:*, ...), research, ... * openSUSE Project organizational stuff * openSUSE developed applications: yast * SUSE Studio: there are tons of SUSE Studio articles, which should be moved in common SUSE_Studio/ hierarchy. Not quite sure if SUSE-Studio should really live inside the openSUSE: namespace at all. Any suggestion for this? Maybe not transferring at all? Maybe it's obsolete - never worked with it ... * openSUSE-nerd-nonsense: /SOCKS, ... * It also includes lots of SLE and Novell mixed-up-stuff. Stuff like obsolete: ~~~~~~~~~~ * everything which was exclusively for version 11.0 and lower * empty or "todo" articles * by accident i18n pages: [A-Z]-$en_article (but easy to filter) * and really bad wiki content ... only code-snippets * manual written redirects * cry for help articles * branding overviews for older distributions * obsolete tool documentation: smart, zen, zmd, ... * pages already reviewed as obsolete not-yet-reviewed/undecided ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * articles i don't want to assign to the main namespace * not quite sure if relevant for openSUSE: or SDB: - "application promotion" there are vast amount of application promotion articles: reaching from incomplete, to low-quality up to top quality. I would suggest to mark all incomplete pages and low quality (e.g. only brief description - wasting-time-for-maintenance) as obsolete. Examples: http://en.opensuse.org//Abiword - Stub -> obsolete/no-transfer? http://en.opensuse.org//Fluxbox - mix-up of tutorial/promotion -> ??? http://en.opensuse.org//Inkscape - only brief description/ stub -> drop? http://en.opensuse.org//Mozilla_Suite ... brief desc./stub -> drop? http://en.opensuse.org//Blender - average quality /pure promotion -> ??? http://en.opensuse.org//Git - good quality / pure promotion -> ??? * stuff which is waste of time to maintain: - Computer-Science glossaries: /DMA, /BIOS, /PCI-X ... in my opinion a reference to wikipedia would be enough, since this is what all of those have in common. - Generic Programming Language articles: /Python - no content related to openSUSE Python specific stuff - drop? /Ruby - at least some trace related to openSUSE (BService) -> openSUSE:? - Generic file formats articles: /PDF, /Postscript, /SGML_and_XML -> drop? Comments?

Maybe we should offer the studio team an own namespace to maintain their documentation, so they can also decide if they want to use the flaggedrevs stuff. It is for sure not obsolete... ;-)
not-yet-reviewed/undecided ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We also have the 'Archive' namespace, maybe some stuff fits there. Wouldn't it be nice to develop a script that does a complete page migration including setting the migrated template on the old page?

If it stays in the openSUSE wiki, I consider that a good suggestion. Not sure whether they should stay in the wiki, on the one hand they support the project with a platform to build openSUSE appliances, on the other hand it's a separate and cool project, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

_If_ it stays - this is currently discussed and yet to be decided. I strongly suggest not to touch the SUSE studio stuff at the moment until a decision has been made. If there is need, we can migrate that stuff at any time later. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, Technical Writer, Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.opensuse.org/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert
