Another thing I so not like are the current topics on
http://en.opensuse.org/Documentation.
- Installation - Articles covering all aspects of the installation of SUSE
Linux.
Why is the topic "installation" just bound to installing Linux, why not make
installing Linux the top item of that category that handles software
installation in a more general way.
- Configuration - System and application configuration articles.
These articles describe how to configure, e.g. a web-server, so they are
mostly howtos, are they not?
Hardware - Supported platforms, hardware compatibility lists, tweaking,
optimizing, and troubleshooting.
There are hardly any articles in there, so there is not much to say.
Howtos - Howto Guides on a wide variety of topic
So there is a page with all kinds of howtos, which on the other hand can slo
be configuration-articles, or trouble-shooting howtos, or
installation-howtos.
What about taking the another approach, i.e. having topic-relevant
hardware-comptibility list, config and howtos in the wlan-section, instead of
having wlan spread all over config, hardware and howtos?
I would like to discuss this further, as I agree with your overall
assesment. Even though the wiki is not yet a year old, it is easy to
get boxed in with existing content and structure. Some of the existing
structure is from when there were practically no articles last August.
So in your proposed approach, what do you see on the Documentation page?
We also need to incorporate the SDB, as it just sits on the outside at
the moment.
I see we really only need three or four of us to agree on a structure
and then just do it.
The thing not to forget is that with the wiki you don't need community
consensus to do anything and it is self-repairing. The more people you
annoy with an edit the more people take an interest and voice their
opinion on what they think. It is nearly always a win-win situation
:-)
