For some weeks I'm on the task of setting a french wiki up to date. It's a very difficult task as we need at first a minimal good image to catch interest and people, a snow ball stuff.
But I don't write to complain :-). by doing so I quickly understand it will not be possible to have all the localized wikis synchronised. A wiki is simply moving too fast. On the old days of openSUSE (yet there are already old days :-), the "recent changes" page allowed somebody to keep in touch. This is no longer possible, there are too many inputs. Even the "new pages" special page fills very kwickly. So we need some kind of stuff to have a way to know what is going on in the wiki, and, for example, what needs translating and what needs simply linking. so what? I'm not sure. Certainly a wiki page, sort of "what's new on openSUSE" where anybody could enter a link to his work. I hopes a little time that the new "news" entry in the sidebar could be this, but it seems mainly affected to mainstream news. The problem is "importance", "priority". Is my page important, and how much? is it vital to the project, is it a growing project... is the author the best suited to answer this, I doubt. The solution is probably to set up a _internal communication team_ aimed to browse the wiki (and others medias as well) and to give a sort of "news paper" wiki page, may be one a week where anybody could grab what happen during this week and make his honey with it. I'm sure we can find 2-3 people interested by this sort of work, pretty different from the usual one. May be a banner on the front page "we need journalists..." :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
