Hi Team,
before officially announcing the new wiki instance (wiki.opensuse.org) there are still a few things to do or to clarify.
see http://wiki.opensuse.org/Special:Version for details
PLEASE: Do not start adding content to wiki.o.o, yet. Let's wait until everything is in place (hopefully some time this week). However, you are welcome to test the new wiki - please delete articles once you do not need them. I will delete every remaining article before we officially start. Preferred place for testing should be your user page (I will not delete pages in the USER namespace).
1. Sysop: ---------- I think
Javier Jonathan Rajko Remy Rupert Shayon Sascha Spyhawk (I do not know the real name ;-))
should have sysop rights in the new wiki. Agreed? Have I forgotten someone?
Since you have to have been logged in once, before I can make you sysop, please log in at http://wiki.opensuse.org/ ASAP. Once you have done so, drop me a note including your wiki login name.
I logged in once. My wiki user name is "rhorstkoetter"
In case of problems logging in, please delete all opensuse cookies.
2. Home page: ----------------- Do you want to keep the right column or should I remove it? How should the wiki homepage be named?
The right column has to be removed. The content of that column actually is offloaded to www.opensuse.org, just the sponsors need to be moved to the left column. Afaik Robert's task (he is aware)
3. Namespaces: -------------- ATM we have the same namespaces as on en.o.o (SDB / SDB_Discussion, FAQ, howto). Let me know if you want to keep these and which ones I should add.
4. FlaggedRevs ------------------
Configuration: Rajko, any hints/input from your side is welcome.
CSS: I will try to adapt the CSS to our skin.
User Rights: Who should have which permissions in FlaggedRevs? Please see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs#User_rights
Only the wiki team, i.e. the wiki moderators should have user rights to FlaggedRevs. Otherwise the whole QA isn't worth it.
5. Lucene Search ---------------- This is the only requested extension that is currently not installed. Adding this would require a considerable change to the server configuration. We have tested the SphinxSearch extension (Sphinx is even faster than Lucene). The only difference I noticed was an increase in speed. The search interface remains the same, and the result list is sorted a bit differently than with the standard wiki search. Apart from that, no changes. Honestly I do not see any benefits using an external search engine rather than performance (and that AFAIK has never been a problem). Whatsmore, the internal wiki search has improved, too, since MediaWiki 1.5.8
6. Use of Semantic MediaWiki ---------------------------- Has anything been decided on this topic?
We'll use it but it's still not discussed neither it is advertised in the Wiki Guidelines. Remy?
7. Everything I missed ---------------------- If there is any other thing you need (configuration option, skin, css) let me know.
