That fits with their user profile of people "most likely to give back" (code).<br /><br />So this balance has to be determined by who the target market is, and openSUSE has for a long time appeared to me as if it just doesn't know! They are looking at it, but I haven't heard much lately to be certain the ball hasn't been dropped.dragonbitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159304536570857479.post-16448983520446271422010-06-14T09:21:20.095-05:002010-06-14T09:21:20.095-05:00This is a great leadership insight for people in a...This is a great leadership insight for people in any field.

The "SDB:" prefixed article...@ ulenrich <br /><br />The "SDB:" prefixed articles belong to custom namespace SDB (which is acronym for "Support Database") and it is used to store articles that provide solutions for problems. <br /><br />The reason to have custom namespace for this type of articles it to have ability to perform targeted search, as well as to apply selectively other extensions that can be configured per namespace. <br /><br />User that wants application description will use search in Main namespace, the one with problem will search only SDB. <br />Search is not only functionality (extension) that can be limited to one or more namespaces, which is another reason to have multiple namespaces.<br /><br />Categorization is separate process (functionality) that is used for browsing and we intend to use it extensively, unlike in old wiki.Rajko M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06594548481914883030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159304536570857479.post-65958835526128807062010-05-25T05:35:13.140-05:002010-05-25T05:35:13.140-05:00I like the new wiki.

It's a way to represent facts in wiki pages that you can then browse and query. Then things like "show all users who [[participate in::openSuse:Ambassadors]]"; "show all event pages with a [[Start Date::>CURRENT_DATE]]"; "list apps with their [[status for 11.3]] ordered by status and category", etc. just update themselves as people update pages, you don't waste time making lists of redundant data. E.g. <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Deployments#Deployment_data" rel="nofollow">OLPC deployment info</a> I made.<br /><br />The problem I think you'll have is much of this information lives outside your wiki in features.opensuse.org and such, so there's not much motivation to duplicate the info on wiki pages. There are ways to import info, but it's not easy.<br /><br />The quickest way to start delivering value is to modify your wiki's existing templates so they make semantic annotations at the same time they present info. Then without changing pages you can make lists like "All SUSE mailing lists and the pages describing them" and do things like browse Property:SUSE_bug and see pages referencing a bug.<br /><br />One significant extension to SMW is Semantic Forms, which lets users fill in HTML forms to give values to properties in a template. It makes data entry to a wiki <i>easier</i> than wiki markup. See e.g. a <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tests/Acquiring_a_developer_key" rel="nofollow">test case</a>, click the [Edit with form] tab.<br /><br />Cheers, if you have questions get in touch.skierpagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04480517078252023572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159304536570857479.post-28351547956098129582010-05-10T10:55:26.990-05:002010-05-10T10:55:26.990-05:00Very nice and positive text.

I got and installed Red Hat 6 and I was off, then came 7 and eventually they went Enterprise.<br />I even paid their subscription and stuck with it for most of the first year.<br /><br />But I discovered a Local Users Group, attended a few meetings and was totally hooked. I tried and liked Mandrake (now Mandriva) and then discovered SuSE 7?.<br /><br />I have tried Kubuntu a couple of times and I like it a lot! (I think the World of Debian and their true Linux purist ways).<br /><br />I still own and use the heck out of my Macs (OSX rocks!!) But on my laptop PC's I use Linux.<br /><br />Currently running OpenSuse 11.1. I am a fan of Novell and like what they have done with SuSE. YES, it has a couple of BUGS that drive me up a wall sometimes, (that is when I go to Kubuntu) I am still learning and will do so till I die.<br /><br />Some of us Linux geeks tend to be loners, at least that is the way I have learned it. But am happy when I come across others that share the passion and interest. I will always do what I can to help their learning cause!.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your post!<br /><br />riberto@ml1.netribertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17021446701470015293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159304536570857479.post-18364518889839176352009-08-24T14:51:14.072-05:002009-08-24T14:51:14.072-05:00I can tell you from what I know, that switching ta...I can tell you from what I know, that switching takes few months to install the same software, learn config locations, config files, package manager commands and functionality and other specific things.<br /><br />I moved from Knoppix to Fedora and then to openSUSE.
