Mageia wiki [SOLVED]

Postby juergen_harms » May 11th, '11, 21:14

Are there presently activities in preparation of a successor for the temporary wiki?

For me, the need for an open Mageia wiki that also contains technical info becomes a more and more urgent issue. Such a wiki is essential for keeping "living" intelligence documented and easily accessible. The forum discussions illustrate this need, the boost in usage - that will hopefully come with the final release - is another argument.

I realise that the preparation of the final release probably eats up all available time - but how about setting up a mailing list to prepare a rapid start (and get people together who are willing to give a hand - I am one of them)?

You are right. Wiki should be targeted to both users (beginers / experienced) and devs (for the technical info) and two sections should be created :
- Help (helping people)
- Contribute (target developers / contributors ...)

Hi
I read somewhere in a ML that the new Wiki is coming soon, may be in June, it will be MediaWiki.

Waiting for release 1.17, which is in Beta now?
Seems to be a major upgrade, depending on php version 5.2.3 or later.
This new version of MediaWiki includes many new features and bug fixes.

Oh right, I forgot about our evil moderator overlords. :twisted:
I guess you could PM one of them and ask for help.

I have much esteem for the time moderators consecrate to mageia (whether I agree or not with what they do or dont do): this detail is not really worth while asking them.

(and I just had to profit from the occasion to highlight this very specific and practical aspect of the edit-cutoff-limit issue) :oops:

No. The permanent Mageia wiki will be MediaWiki, that is correct. But the implementation is lagging a bit because there are (as much as I understood) still problems with mulitlingual setup and overall lack of time, people with the task to set up the Mageia wiki are currently busy with keeping the release schedule for Mageia 1.

As for the "solved" issue, ask one of the global moderators (isadora ?) to edit the first post. The issue was decided (to have a time limit) so everybody has to live with it, even the poor moderators :D

Isadora,

About mageia wiki, the Brazilian community is editing a wiki with software Dokuwiki, the same software used in Mageia temporary wiki.

The difference is the appearance of templete newday.

Link to wiki MageiaBrasil (In portuguese): http://wiki.mageiabr.org/

Link to wiki MageiaBrasil In english with google language tool

Cheers! :)

Thx for the information - and I guess that some more local Mageia communities will start their own wikis in the future.

Here we are talking about the official Mageia wiki which will be not only in English but multilingual, so all language groups can start their wiki inside the Mageia structure. Pages like Release notes, Errata, HowTo Contribute and other official pages will then be available for all languages (depending on the cooperation of the various language groups) under the central address.
