[opensuse-wiki] New language.o.o request
Hello Everyone, I know there has been some discussion on creating a language.o.o subdomain and using that as a sort of sandbox for multilingual content. Recently, bug 629542 has been submitted for it. Before I do this, may I request that we consider using our current wiki.o.o for this purpose instead of creating languages.o.o? My reasons for this are given in the bug comments, but the short of it is that I want to keep things simple, both from my standpoint and that of the users. Why have two domains serving the same content, while we create an entirely different one for new content? Also, creating a new subdomain takes time, as we need to wait for the DNS entry, iChain configuration, database setup, after which, I will need to muck around with the wiki farm configurations to accommodate a new subdomain that doesn't fit in with the pattern we have been following. Just some food for thought...

The problem is that wiki.opensuse.org is well-known to search engines, linked in various websites (including mailing list archives) etc. I agree that we shouldn't have two domains (wiki.o.o and en.o.o) serving the same content. Therefore I propose to change wiki.o.o - it should just RedirectPermanent to en.o.o/$requested_page. This will also make sure that search engines replace wiki.o.o with en.o.o in their results. This also means that you should really create a new subdomain (languages.o.o or babel.o.o), even if it is more work ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- [Antialiasing] macht lediglich die weichen Konturen, und die sind Geschmackssache.

+1 Can you add that to the bug report: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629542

+1 languages.o.o is pretty obvious what it is meant and it is already requested in a bugzilla translations.o.o was alternative that as word can be understand in many languages without translation :) babel.o.o is clear to me, but I'm not sure how it translates in other languages and how many people have no problem to understand it
