E.g. go to the wiki and try to find the former "How to install the NVIDIA drivers" article as shown at http://old-en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA_drivers
E.g. search for "nvidia" and note the first article shown there is something about compiz without the proper one being in sight.
In reality the most prominent page that you find in the search results is http://wiki.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA which is a nice overview article about the whole topic of NVIDIA cards. So what exactly is the problem?
That one has to know in advance to which namespace the article one is searching belongs to? In my reality that page doesn't show up until I tick the "SDB" box in the advanced search options which isn't exactly obvious.
I've been told that most look for information about the project but I dare to differ cause most ppl - IMHO - look for solutions.
Well that might certainly be your opinion, as you expressed it so florid, but it's not the reality and also not what we, the openSUSE wiki team, want for the wiki. We have set some clear goals for the new openSUSE wiki and everybody was invited to participate in this effort. You didn't so please respect what we came up with.
So it is no bug but a "feature", fine. I wasn't aware that some working search that includes howtos / help isn't taken for granted but needs to be explicitly set as goal. Thanks for correcting my understanding of what a wiki is good for, I certainly will respect your work.
We are certainly open to discuss how to enhance the wiki search results in any way other then starting from scratch again. Just come by our mailinglist (opensuse-wiki) and talk to us...
The solution apparently were to include e.g. the SDB namespace by default but since you just told me that this isn't what you, the openSUSE wiki team, want for the wiki I'm not gonna waste your time any further. regards, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
