Hi guys,

Since we have such a beautiful download page now I think it would really be a shame if we didn't use it for our alphas (now gone though) and betas (especially beta1, which is this week, and it would really help in contributing to making Beta1 a really big splash). Since the template is already there, most of the work is just link copy/pasting.

Since the source is now available[0] I was going to try to create the beta download page myself, but unfortunately I'm not familiar with Ruby on Rails at all so I've only been able to do the link edits (probably most of the work though, I hope). Anyway, here's a patch.[1]

Some info: * The links are for Alpha7 for purposes of testing the links. For beta1 you could just s/Alpha7/Beta1/ and s/Alpha6/Alpha7/ (for the Deltas) * I replaced the Network Installation option with a Delta ISOs option. Ideally we could also have a SOURCES option in which case the download page would have links to ALL the relevant ISOs (and hence Development_Version page would be obsolete) * Need to add a disclaimer that it's a Beta near the Top * If the 10.3 Start-up guide is uploaded we could also then link to that * Edited _most_ of the ISO sizes to make them correct as of Alpha7 at least

In that case, do you think it will be possible to have a Beta download page in time for Beta1?

That's tough - but let's give it a try. Thanks for the patch.

Frank, Robert: Can we do this?

Robert just created http://software.opensuse.org/developer for Beta1 :)

Awesome! 08:11:48 * apokryphos guesses beta1 won't make it onto software.o.o then ;) ...and 20 seconds before I read this email. =) Kind thoughts, -- Francis Giannaros http://francis.giannaros.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
