[opensuse-web] Revamped login page
by Pieter De Decker 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hi all, While everyone's hard at work developing the new website, I had some time to spare so I made a draft for a new login page. (The current version appears to be dated 02 Aug 2005!) I'm not sure if there's any demand for it, but I had fun toying with HTML and CSS. :-) Current login page: http://forums.opensuse.org/login/icslogin.php?destination=/ My draft: http://www.pieterdedecker.be/tmp/oslogin/ Let me know what you think. Cheers, Pieter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-web+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-web] Thumbnail error on main page.
by Malcolm 23 Mar '11

Hi The following has been reported on the forum, so have forwarded to you for action; "Not sure if there is a place to let people know about errors on the website but I figured I'd put it here. There is an error in the screenshots on the main opensuse.org website. The thumbnail picture for the XFCE file manager is linked to the wrong picture. When you click the thumbnail you get a pic of the LXDE file control centre." http://forums.opensuse.org/english/other-forums/forums-feedback/forums-comm… -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.32.29-0.3-default up 2 days 16:20, 2 users, load average: 0.07, 0.11, 0.08 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 260.19.26 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-web+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-web] Greek openSUSE homepage
by Kostas Boukouvalas 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

Hi, Some days ago I translated the http://www.opensuse.org page in Greek but still is not available at http://www.opensuse.org/el/. We are two days before the Release of 11.4 and it would be a great opportunity for the page to be available also in Greek.

The svn repo seems to have some issues most probably it is a configuration issue which I am unable to figure out require_once /srv/db_info so what is it exactly Regards Manu On Tue, 2011-03-01 at 19:13 +0100, Pavol Rusnak wrote: > On 01/03/11 18:39, Manu Gupta wrote: > > I had a recent discussion about website landing pages on irc, we are > > discarding the whole idea and replacing it with wordpress-based news > > page and integrating news and landing page > > That's cool idea, I like it! > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-web+help(a)opensuse.org

We have traditionally upgraded all our blogs and wikis on a quarterly schedule. We have tried to be more responsive to get new updates out right away, but we just don't have the time to do it in this manner. However, I am planning on moving the blogs into WP's version control. This will allow me to fully script the upgrades for all of the blogs, allowing me to do it in minutes instead of hours. The community may have to be patient with me on this one, since it will take some time to move all of Novell and openSUSE blogs into version control and we are very short on resources at the moment. Once I have this done, we should be much more responsive to updates. >My proposal is to use Serendipity ("S9Y", http://www.s9y.org/).

Again, keep in mind that due to the resource issues mentioned above, we are only handling critical issues at the moment. It may take us awhile to get to anything else.
