[opensuse-wiki] A Wiki Q&A?
Is there any possibility of considering holding a Q&A session in the -Project channel to do a live quick how-to of *WHERE* to create pages on the new wiki? I am still quite confused by the way pages are created now that we no longer have a new structure. And others are too. Maybe a nice 1/2 hour session sometime within the next week would be helpful as its a barrier right now for me to do my work and know where things belong properly. I think if even just a few people show up for your wondrous lesson, that would be empowering because it will allow those of us who go to then be able to spread the word to others who have questions.

Hm we have this session 24/7 on various channels already but we can do a meeting on the project channel too of course. Let us find a date where we all are able to participate. Rajko, Matthew, Tom and Remy can you please add slots you are available to http://www.doodle.com/c2ydqkk9mqhra4gx thanks.

Can you please tell us what exactly you do not understand? I guess this will help us to prepare answers to questions. Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

Henne, In my case, as seems the case with some others, I just can't make any sense of where to put stuff. In the old way, we just simply appended the URL. But now we're not supposed to do that (create sub-pages) and yet I'm unable to grasp what it is we're supposed to do now. Having a Q&A to drive home the logic of what is the new and proper way will help a great deal. I can't see such a session taking more than 30 minutes really.

Sorry for being persistent but can i ask you another favor? Could you read through http://news.opensuse.org/2010/07/08/the-devil-is-in-the-details/ and tell me if it would be enough to do this in an IRC session? Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

Page Locations: I would prefer if there is someone to directly ask: Where exactly do I put my page "My_great_page" and what template should I use.

I don't care for IRC, I have never used it. I would prefer to have a nice howto for dummies. Yes, I'm a dummie in this matter. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Page Locations:
It is indeed useful, but again misses on some things like what should we name our page? What is the standard for particular types of pages? It's like you say, the devil is in the details. :-)
I would prefer if there is someone to directly ask: Where exactly do I put my page "My_great_page" and what template should I use.
I think there does exist direct channels, via here on the wiki list, possibly even on the -project list and elsewhere. But nothing ever beats live interaction :-) The best I think we can do is post the logs or a summary of questions answered somewhere prominent for many people to read after and be able to ask additional questions that might not have been answered in the live interaction.
and tell me if it would be enough to do this in an IRC session?

See my comment above for IRC. But that doesn't negate Carlos's feelings about IRC. Because this is an adoption process for the new wiki, such information should be discussed and defined in as many venues as possible, not choose "the best venue." So do have both IRC (probably first) and then HowTos and other messages to reach out to broad audiences. It's the only way. Otherwise, henne and folks will continue to be asked the same questions over and over. I'll bet you 2 to 1 that the questions I've asked him aren't the first time he's heard such questions. :-) Bryen

Thanks, Denver, that's the one. I could not have as easily have found a link to the forum post.

Hi there, Unfortunately, I still don't have Internet at (my temporary) home so I won't be able to meet on IRC before the 14th of August. Regards, R. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
