[opensuse-wiki] New wiki skin: RC1
by Frank Sundermeyer 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hi, thanks to your great feedback (a special thanks to Christian Boltz, who discovered most bugs) I managed to eliminate hopefully all bugs from the new wiki skin and now proudly present the first "Release Candidate" on http://en.test.opensuse.org/ At the moment I know of only one open issue: - the logo display when using very small font sizes in Gecko/KHTML browsers (not sure whether this is resolvable at all) BTW: An RC1 for download.opensuse.org will follow ASAP. -- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Yet another plea for testing
by Frank Sundermeyer 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

Hi, there was one last thing still missing in the new Template for openSUSE.org - the three column layout for the starting page. After hours of digging into MediWiki's php files and searching on Google I hopefully managed to make it work: http://en.test.opensuse.org/ http://de.test.opensuse.org/ I am not sure that it will work with every user configuration (initially I had problems when the user switched the language or wasn't logged in), so I would feel much better if you would test it. I also would like to hear your feedback on mainting the new starting page - it has become more complicated: - the Home Page is now made up from 2 separate documents: * Main Page (the content area) http://en.test.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Main_Page * MediaWiki:Mainpagerightcolumn (the right column) http://en.test.opensuse.org/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Mainpagerightcolumn - MediaWiki:Mainpagerightcolumn is included via Template with wfMsg() - (I haven't found another way to do it - if there is a better alternative, please let me know). Unfortunately this means that no wiki markup can be used within this file - it has to be pure HTML. This is also true for Links, so [[Internal Link]], [http://server/ External Link] or interwiki Links cannot be used. http://{{SERVERNAME}} has to be used for internal links. - MediaWiki:Mainpagerightcolumn has to be present on each wiki. If it is not, it will look as on http://fr.test.opensuse.org/ - messing up the HTML in MediaWiki:Mainpagerightcolumn (especially forgetting to close <div>s) might break the complete page layout (on the other hand this is true for every other page as well) -- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

Wrong list... again. This mailing list situation is really just too silly. Makes it so trivial to make a mistake and send it to the wrong list. *sigh* On 7/3/07, Frank Sundermeyer <fs(a)suse.de> wrote: > I also would like to hear your feedback on mainting the new starting > page - it has become more complicated: Looks great! A few ideas: * I see it's running on Mediawiki 1.5.8 -- this is pretty ancient. Would this be a good opportunity to upgrade? * After speaking as well with Robert the other day, we thought anchor tags could have font-style: none, and then on a:hover be underlined. This looks a little neater (and more contemporary these days, I think), fits in better with the links in the navigation, and it's still obvious that they're links if they're the same blue that they are now. * I really think we have too many navigation links :D. For the right column, what do you think about removing the whole "Documentation" and "Interactive" sections? Documentation is already mentioned on the left, and perhaps the left column could also have "Communicate" link which links to [[Communicate]] which outlines all those interaction methods. This way we reduce the amount of links on the homepage (so the user isn't immediately overwhelmed), and there's a more clear distinction for the left/right columns. The left column having project information, documentation etc, while the right column strictly handles news and events.

[opensuse-wiki] mailing list descriptions
by James Tremblay 04 Jul '07

04 Jul '07

I would like to suggest that the mailing list descriptions be a little more in-depth, while learning how to communicate with the community a "n00b" like my self could use the aid of being told upfront as to what is an acceptable post to particular list. i.e. opensuse-wiki = you can post comments about the content of the "wikisite" or suggestions for improvements as well as found bugs here. The one line descriptions aren't sufficient. -- James Tremblay Director of Technology Newmarket School District Newmarket,NH http://en.opensuse.org/Education "let's make a difference" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org
