It might be interesting to see which of the various alternatives (linux-vserver or openvz) looks best, and see if we can provide it through e.g. the plus repository. Of course, this would require a volunteer who is willing to maintain such a set of patches against the kernel.

I dont understand why someone's name needs to be on the page, for them to be able to subscribe to the changelog for a page ? I agree. I still agree with myself one year ago: I can only agree. Even it is not the intention to keep people away, people will feel like they have to consult with the author on every edit. This works against the goal of wikis: providing complete, correct, and understandable information. I know that you are not proposing to have visible names, but I think the same thing applies to ownership that is shown when a page is edited. Other than that, page subscriptions should do the job fine? And why can't the editors be responsible for all of the Wiki? I think it is better if abuse is fixed by the first person who spots it, rather than a special moderator. I can't really see what purpose this proposal serves ;).

Looks fine - I would do the same at the sides as well. I am not sure. It is known from studies that people can only read optimally up to a certain text width. Not that a fixed size is enforced now, but the smaller relative width it has now, improves the readability of longer texts. *If* we want to fill up the sides, I think it is better to do that with menus or some other content in the future. -- Daniel ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

[CentOS-docs] Untranslated page redirection
Hi all, Just a heads-up: we have added the untranslated page redirection plugin that was discussed on this list a while ago. This means pages that are requested under a language prefix that don't exist, are redirected to the English page if it does exist. For instance, there is no Spanish translation for /HowTos/FreeNX yet, so visiting http://wiki.centos.org/es/HowTos/FreeNX will show the English page with a small message on top. People with edit privileges in such contexts can create/edit a page by adding '?action=edit' to the URL. -- Daniel ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
