I wonder about defining categories for FR/Documentation...

Perhaps I have not seen some important information on the subject, but I look for days, and...
fortunately,  I'm not alone ;-)

I've tried to be clear here :
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User:Dominique_Pautrel/Wiki_Localization_Structure

Would it be better to share categories or each language should have it's own ?

You can use whatever categories and category names you want for the translated pages (the exception being that in some cases, multibyte characters (eg Japanese and Chinese) in category names have caused problems in the past).

See:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy#Using_Categories
for a little more info about categories.

The categories are used to group common Wiki pages. It makes sense to group localized pages under their own categories.

If the docs you are working on are released under the PDL (like the majority of the English documentation) you can add the {{PDL1}} template to your pages. This will add the PDL license text to the bottom of the page and include it in the PDL category.

Whichever categories you choose to use, it is best to use at least one category that is unique to each document type or set. The WikiBot that is used to do maintenance and mass changes to Wiki pages can be set to run on a specific category. If a document set is grouped with at least one unique category, it makes it easy to perform any future maintenance on that document set.
