It would wise to have them all together also for archiving purposes.

Please, put them into svn.


Hi Alex,

The wiki now blocks 'href' as a word

[christian . ridderstrom]

Hi,

To prevent spam, I configured the wiki to block 'href' through the regular 
expression


\bhref\b

which should match 'href' as a separate word. I hope this will stop stupid 
spam bots that try to instert HTML links. Words that _contain_ 'href' 
should still be allowed.


Cheers,

Hi Frank,

You can also 'tag' or 'categorize' the page with e.g.

[[!Windows]]

This allows users to click on the generated link and see a list of all

Another alternative is to let e.g. the page Windows.Windows include a page

Hi Nate,

We eventually got around to discussing this and ended up protecting edits

It's at least an improvement, as we wish to retain the 'wikiness'.

Another alternative is to let e.g. the page Windows.Windows include a page 
called say Windows.Windows-Comment. Then we add a very visible 'edit 
link', so that users can add their comments to another page, without 
actually requiring access to Windows.Windows directly.

I will not even take a look.


Thanks, I'd forgotten about that - it's a _very_ good point. I don't check 
changes either when the name of the autor is e.g. Uwe.

Re: Download pages shouldn't be in wiki

Hi admins,

The official download page for the Windows version of LyX seems to be 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Windows, which is a wiki.  So it's possible 
for anyone to change the links on that page to point to their own evil 
exe files, which unsuspecting users will download and run.  That's not 
good.


Hi Nate,

We eventually got around to discussing this and ended up protecting edits 
of that page with a password. In addition, people like Uwe keep an extra 
eye on that page.


It's at least an improvement, as we wish to retain the 'wikiness'.

If you see any other pages you think should be protected similarly, please 
let us know.


Thanks and regards,

A good thing would be less contrast for the logo. A better thing would

I agre it is not very nice. There are several ways you can help us with 
this. The easiest thing for us is if you can check out the web pages 
locally using Subversion, e.g. on *nix you do:


svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/www-user/trunk www-user

If you're on Windows, then install TortoiseSVN and get them from:
svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/www-user/trunk www-user

Once you have the web pages, you can modify the colours to something you 
like, we can have a look, and since it's bound to be an improvement, 
change the colour scheme at lyx.org:-)


If you are unable to do the above, but can suggest colour codes to me I 
can try and implement that to a working copy of the web pages. In order 
to verify the commans above, I checked out a copy here:


http://www.lyx.org/~chr/www-user/

To look at the source (and retreive files one by one), you can browse the 
source of the web pages here:

http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/www-user/trunk
I'm guessing the files that control appearance can be found in this 
directory:

http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/www-user/trunk/styles

I think these are the files that need changing:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/www-user/trunk/styles/lographics.css
http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/www-user/trunk/styles/higraphics.css

Dunno if this query fits into the docs mailing list, but at least it 
wouldn't fit neither in the other lists.


It'd be fine in the developers' list as well, I think.

is better. There is already 47 pages in that group:

I wonder if one of those pages might be suitable. There is for instance:

and

http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Unsorted1

which are quite big.

A lazy solution is to move everything in FAQ/Unsorted to FAQ/Unsorted2, 
and then ask people to place answers in FAQ/Unsorted.


Finally, there's the page FAQ/Unanswered.

It's a bit of a mess really, but I think we should keep the FAQ in the

http://wiki.lyx.org/DevelDoc/FAQUpdates

 to help others.

Or can we use http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ for this purpose?


I like your ideas, but I think using the group

http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ

is better. There is already 47 pages in that group:

http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/FAQ?action=search=FAQ%2F+

I wonder if one of those pages might be suitable. There is for instance:

http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Unsorted

and

http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Unsorted1

which are quite big.

A lazy solution is to move everything in FAQ/Unsorted to FAQ/Unsorted2, 
and then ask people to place answers in FAQ/Unsorted.


Finally, there's the page FAQ/Unanswered.

It's a bit of a mess really, but I think we should keep the FAQ in the 
group FAQ.


/C

PS. I like the idea to have the ML include a link to the FAQ.

You'll find some of that there.

List usage - messages from the wiki

[christian . ridderstrom]

Today the wiki sends a notification post to this list on a daily basis
with the subject
[LyX wiki] recent notify posts

This message lists the pages at the wiki that have been edited since the 
last notification message.


Is the frequency of these messages ok?  Should I make it send messages 
less often for instance?



However, my real question concerns the content of this message. In 
addition to a list of pages that have changed, I'm considering including 
the actual changes to the wiki pages (like a diff/patch).


This would allow seeing changes to the pages directly from the 
notification message. Primarily it would allow me to visually scan for 
spam edits with a quick glance.


A drawback is that the size of the messages will increase, it'll be more 
like a daily digest of a email list.


Thoughts/opinions? (There's no rush - I wouldn't implement this in the 
near future anyway)


Best regards,
/Christian

The frequency is fine with me.


Ok. (I didn't expect an objection here).

Don't do this as this will for some days result in huge emails. The 
current behaviour is OK, I usually go on that page and veiw there the 
diffs when I'm interested.


Yes, some days such a message could become rather long, and that could be 
a problem for some users. (Especially modem users, if those still exist).


Another problem generally speaking is security, since in theory some of 
the wiki pages might be read protected so that not everyone can read 
them. That's a general problem and not a problem for wiki.lyx.org.


Would you change your opinion if there were two kinds of notifications 
sent out. One notification post that's just like today, and another 
notification post with a different subject that also contains the patches?


Anyway, I'll postpone all of this until much later. Before I bring it up 
for discussion again, I'll see about implementing something and sending it 
only to myself. Then I can also make a judgement about what the real 
volume is.

Discrimination

The word discrimination comes from the Latin discriminare, which
means to distinguish between. However, discrimination, as used
in this article, is more than distinction or differentiation; it
is action based on prejudice resulting in unfair treatment of
people. To discriminate socially is to make a distinction between
people on the basis of class or category without regard to
individual merit. Examples of social discrimination include
racial, religious, sexual, weight, disability, ethnic,
height-related, employment discrimination and age-related
discrimination.

and so on. I checked, there were no hidden HTML or anything.

Sorry for the noise while I set up the new notification system on the

Notifications should now appear at most twice a day. If that's still too 
much, I can increase the squelch.


The notification rule that sends messages to this list is hardcoded in
a configuration file, so it cannot be removed by editing Site.NotifyList.

If you have root access, I think I know how. Log in to aussie.lyx.org, 
become root and execute this command


# /usr/sbin/useradd -G svnusers uwe

which should create an account ('uwe'), and also make that user a member

suspect you do!), please try to re-post to either the developers' list or 
to the users' list.

Certainly not! Reporting bugs is in a sense a way of showing that you 
care, thanks!

 Dear LyX team,
 
All the items in the Inventory of your LaTeX configuration list show the
 entry
 'Found: ???', and I get boxes saying 'The document uses a missing TeX class
 book [or suchlike]. LyX will not be able to produce output.'
  How do I get these missing files?
  Can LyX handle .tex files of class gazette.cls ?  This is a class required by
 contributors to the journal /Gazette of the Australian Mathematical Society./

Hi John,
this is the documentation list, you should ask your question on the users' 
list. It's much more active, and that's where you'll most likely get an 
answer.

best regards

 More spam. Christian, can you please delete this? (I can't).

To delete a page (I did that), just erase all the content and replace the 
text with the single work

delete

and save the page. That will delete

 It's unrelated. It's junk which is entered to the Wiki, not junk mail.

It's a mixed blessing that the wiki is getting more well known... I do 
wonder how they find it, or why they choose it.

Thanks. I think someone else beat me to fixing it though :-)

At least I couldn't find any spam... just let us know again if you do find 
it!

Further blocking of wiki spammers

[christian . ridderstrom]

Hi

I noticed that you're very good at reverting spam, but to reduce the load 
I've added a new entry to

http://wiki.lyx.org/Site/Blocklist

The previous two entries prevented the spambot from actually inserting 
links, but it kept destroying stuff. Now I'm also blocking the text:


u style=display: none;

which seems to occur in each spam attempt. Hopefully this will make it 
even better for us.


cheers
