Petr,
I'm also for the third option as it forces us to consider what to do with every page of the current wiki.
Before moving any stuff from old wiki to new wiki, we should have a very precise plan what should be moved where, what should be discarded, merged, whatever. This requires existence of some 'transition' guidelines with which we all agree and which will be strictly followed while moving stuff from old to new wiki.
I'm completely on the same page here. If we do this without following "Transition Guidelines", we'll just produce a new mess out of an old one and this is not desirable. Talking about "Transition Guidelines", we should also consider our to be created "Wiki Guidelines" - unfortunately it's rather difficult to come up with these until other construction yards are still un-finished (especially the QA - Rajko is working on this and the sorting/creation of templates). I myself would very much appreciate if we could agree on a consistent design of Wiki articles - who's in charge of this? Shayon and John? All Petr mentioned is perfectly appropriate but in addition to that (while checking http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team/Checked_Pages or something similar), shouldn't we also take care to get rid of the in-consistent design? I'm sorry to mention again my very personal favourite wiki ubuntuusers.de but from my perspective they just do it right and therefore I took the time to collect some article examples (translated to english) to show what I mean with a consistent look&feel: http://tinyurl.com/yjz8fql http://tinyurl.com/yk2lugz http://tinyurl.com/yz7suh7 http://tinyurl.com/yjw7sba
From my perspective, a consistent design of content is an important aspect to provide usability to the reader. What do you think to take of this within the Transtition Guidelines (within the Wiki Guidelines anyway)?
Well i am not a in charge at whole ,Right now i am working on the look of the front page and few days back I and Rajko were planning out the things which all thigs should be improvised on the frontpage.So lets see how far does it gets :) .As there are lot many things to be done over there (not that much , but still :D).Perosnaly i feel there is no requirement of a new wiki design.The current satisfies all needs including a consistent design.Where as we should focus more on the loop holes of the wiki and Moving towards a better wiki . Rest all is perfectly fine (IMO) ! . I dont say that i disagree with Rupert , but still ours one also completely makes sense ;) . Just needs a kind of refreshing.
Perhaps this could be achieved by organizing something similar (or just finishing) to http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team/Checked_Pages. This way we could - minimize time for which main opensuse wiki is r/o - check every page whether it complies with the wiki standards
See above: Design and general Wiki Guidelines.
- properly categorize each page
Generally, this way we could check the wiki from perspective of individual pages and later, by moving, reorganize it as a whole.
I'm completely on the same page here Petr.
Thanks, R
