Hello everybody, During a chat with Thomas Viehmann, he said he would have a more structured wiki (group pages under Applications/* Hardware/* Homepages/* etc.). He's probably gonna a come back with this idea someday...
I'm intending to implement the homepage part now (unless someone objects). Thomas' rationale included "other people do it (Wikipedia), avoid collisions (e.g. there is a user 'Mac')". I would add : avoid ambiguous or obscure page names and simplify wiki cleanup. I can think of a few naming propositions : http://wiki.debian.org/Homepages/JohnDoe - Fairly explicit http://wiki.debian.org/WikiHomePages/JohnDoe - Moinmoin jargon http://wiki.debian.org/User:JohnDoe - MediaWiki's way http://wiki.debian.org/~JohnDoe - The Unix way What do you think about this idea ? My preferred scheme is the first one. Which one is yours ? Do you have any objection ? Franklin -- For the curious.. Implementing this change would be quite easy : 1. Configure the moinmoin - Set "user_homewiki = u'DebianWikiHomePages'" in moinmoin instance - Add "DebianWikiHomePages http://wiki.debian.org/"; in intermap.txt 2. Rename the existing Homepages List and verify the pages : grep -E "^name=" /var/lib/*/data/user/* Then tweak a moinmoin (migration) script to rename the selected pages. 3. Announce that the change is done on debian-www and debian-devel (!). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
