So someone had asked "how to do I work on the Wiki", and I was thinking you needed to check it out due to commit level access. I was wrong, everyone can edit if you have a github account. I think this lowers the barrier to Wiki editing *nicely* and github makes reverting commits easily, so I'm not too worried about spam. So get a github.com account and you're good to go!
How to identify what needs migrating: On the new Wiki, there are a lot of pages that say "content still on fedorahosted.org..."/etc and have only a line of text. There are about 60 of these, you can see them all here: https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/_pages AND see the Trac versions here: https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/TitleIndex What you need to do is find the corresponding page on fedorahosted.org, and convert from Trac format to Markdown -- http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax Notice that the names of the pages are more spelled out on the new Wiki. If a page isn't in the new list of pages, I haven't planned on bringing it over, so some, like the Diagrams page, can be skipped. We're done once no pages say "content over on fedorahosted", so maybe if you start to edit one, update the content to say "migration in progress by ___" so we don't duplicate effort. Once that's all done we can go back through and clean up documentation that needs clarifications and updates. --Michael On Sun, Nov 20, 2011 at 3:18 PM, Michael DeHaan <[email protected]> wrote: > I've started moving the Wiki/homepage over from > fedorahosted.org/cobbler to the github Wiki. > > This is a little slow going as I need to convert from Trac format to > Markdown.
