Hello fellow MOTUs, The organization of the MOTU Wiki has been discussed quite a lot lately, and quite a lot of work has been done for it.
I noticed that some pages are named after MOTUNameOfThePage while others are named after MOTU/Topic/SubTopic. Since the Ubuntu wiki allows to browse documentation with the latter way of naming pages, I believe this is a good way of having a good documentation database for MOTUs. I have thus begun to rename pages to fit the MOTU/Topic/SubTopic layout. After renaming pages, I check the reverse dependencies and recreate the old page with a redirection to the new one, to make sure links are not broken withing the documentation. Here are a few examples of how I intend to organize things on the MOTU Wiki : * MOTUMeeting stuff : I have moved the MOTUMeeting to MOTU/Meetings. Each meeting, instead of being named after MOTUMeeting-YY-MM-DD is now named after MOTU/Meetings/YY-MM-DD, and minutes are located at MOTU/Meetings/Minutes. All the links within these docs have been corrected to fit this new naming layout. I believe this is much clearer a way to organize things, using pseudo-directories. * MOTUDocumentation stuff : Some pages deal specifically with the MOTU documenation things on the Wiki, e.g. MOTUDocumentationDraft and MOTUDocTodo. Again, we lack a standard naming layout for these. I have created MOTU/Documentation, that lists the MOTU/Documentation/* pages. MOTUDocumentationDraft has been moved to MOTU/Documentation/Draft and MOTUDocTodo to MOTU/Documentation/Todo. * MOTU Teams : MOTU Teams are a big mess currently, too, imho. I have moved MOTUTeams to MOTU/Teams, and am moving each team to MOTU/Teams/* . For example, MOTUGames is moved to MOTU/Teams/Games and MOTUKDE to MOTU/Teams/Kubuntu. These are just a few examples, and I intend to organize the MOTU doc further this way. /!\ Again, after each renaming of a page, I recreate the old page and redirect to the new one so as to not break links. I search for reverse dependencies on the wiki and try to fix the links directly, but I am totally aware that there are links from other websites and from LP in particular that cannot be checked, so I'm making sure they are not broken. I reckon my work on this is already quite begun, but I will still enjoy comments and suggestions :) Raphaël -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raphaël Pinson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://raphink.multiply.org Ichthux - http://www.ichthux.org - Christian Linux Distribution -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
