Team,
6. Guidelines for editors - Assignee: Rupert, Rajko, Remy The current situation of available documentation on how to edit the wiki, how to design articles, how to properly use templates and such is both messed up and hardly accessible for new editors. This situation at best discourage people to contribute to the wiki and we urgently need to change this. As discussed and decided earlier in the process we need Guidelines for editors that are easily accessible at the new main Portal and that cover the very basics - the document should be readable in at least 5-10 minutes and the new editor should know how to get started contributing. Shayon took the time to list documantation we have in this regard (Help namespace etc.) and provided an overview at http://en.opensuse.org/User:Wwarlock/Worklog#Imp_links_over_the_Wiki The new Guidelines should both give a quick overview and provide an opportunity to dive into more deatiled information Shayon listed. Furthermore we need to scan the available documentation we have and merge, re-work, fine-tune and summarize. The creation of Guidelines is assigned as team work for the whole wiki team (e.g. Rupert provides input on QA - Wiki forum), Rajko and Remy are responsible to come up with an initial draft document everyone else contributes to.
Hello , Well over here i would like to come up with something which i feel is important in preparation of guidelines process.That is a definite work layout , which will be based on http://en.opensuse.org/Template:Guidelines ( edition can be made to it).It would help to carry out the process in a smooth way and would help everyone know what all is going on and what are to be done.As right now i can see that Remy has started with guidelines thing and doing a great job . But that he is busy with other tasks too , so he'll be contributing to the Article guidelines for the time being.Others contribute too. And rest other things like openSUSE Weekly news guidelines , Yast guidelines , Artwork guidelines , etc has to be taken care of and to be assigned at the same time. Thus the work layout which i would be preparing will not be totally up to the mark or in the position to be followed . So here i would ask the concerned assignees and other wiki team senior members to proof-read and make further changes to it.And then we can see whether to follow it or choose any other way for it .
Thanks, R
