Remy,
may you please provide an overview about the outcome of the efforts we put into the Engish instance so far (templates, transition_list, transition_guidelines and so on) in order to empower open-slx workforce to work on translation efforts and to finally come up with a similar Article Reviewing plan for the German Wiki instance?
Sure. In short, the "must have" pages to be translated for the German wiki transition are: * openSUSE:Wiki_Guidelines ** openSUSE:Wiki_Style_Guidelines which may evolve with the feedback we receive. The described Capitalization guideline might not apply to DE wiki :) ** openSUSE:Wiki_Template_Guidelines ** openSUSE:Template_Messages which regroups all essential templates (~70 templates, vs more than 400 a few weeks ago) ** openSUSE:Article_Template (standardized template for all articles) *Transition_Guidelines#Step_1_:_Articles_review (step 2 is still WIP and will be handle later, when article checking is ready) ** Template:NoTransfer, Template:InReview, Template:Reviewed are templates useful for transition process. Refer to the Transition Guidelines articles to know how to use them :) With those basic pages, you can start checking articles in the German wiki (step1). The transition in the new wiki is Step 2. Also, openSUSE:Wiki_Tag_Guidelines is ready and useful for maintenance purpose (it might be adapted to the German wiki needs). What you don't need yet / don't need at all * openSUSE:Portal_Template is useful for step 2 (not sure if it's ready yet) * Categorization Guidelines concerns proper categorization process. It's WIP in the English wiki (as there is a huge mess in this area), I don't know if an important work is required here in the DE wiki. * Translation Guidelines isn't required for localized wiki, as it covers opening of new localized wiki.
Also, may you be able to provide a Transition_list similar to the English instance for the German one? I guess you're in charge here and have the best insight of wiki seniors. Thanks in advance!
*[[Transition_List2]] covers Project/Distribution articles. Those articles might be already similar to the English articles. *[[Transition_List]] covers HowTo and user related articles. The hard work and most necessary focus for open-slx and contributors is here imho. Basically, the equivalent of a Transition_List for the German wiki can be found in http://de.opensuse.org/Dokumentation and subpages, with the exception of: * http://de.opensuse.org/Hardware (don't need a deep review process imho) * http://de.opensuse.org/Wunschlisten (replaced by openFATE, apart from /Dokumentationswunschliste which is still needed in the wiki) I was unable to find the German equivalent [[HOWTOs]] that I used to write [[Transition_List]] for the main wiki. Also, I am not sure if SBD should be reviewed in priority or not. It contains mostly obsolete articles in the English wiki, but I have no idea about its status in DE wiki. Moreover, input from experienced DE wiki maintainers is required for generating a list of most useful articles in the DE wiki - I don't know it as I don't use it - and my german capabilities are not so great :) I remember of the excellent translation work of Buschmann23(?), but I am not sure if he is still around. Additionally, you might have a look at the English list and see if the German equivalent exist/is better/should absolutely be translated. The page http://de.opensuse.org/Spezial:Beliebteste_Seiten might be very useful for this purpose too.
