= Ideas/Criticism on this wiki =
* file uploads on this wiki must be possible, or at least image embedding - ''like all editing, available to logged in users''
* let us not make tons of translations - ''with the Translate extension, translations are easily maintained, and Special:myLanguage makes them transparently available''
* after reading http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL, how did you accomplish the short URL and is this sustainable?
* I would like to have boxes around
<pre>
pre-tagged content
</pre>
:''Use the templates <nowiki>{{Input|1=}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{Output|1=}}</nowiki> in preference to <nowiki><pre></nowiki>''
as on http://www.staerk.de/thorsten/index.php/C_Programming_Tutorial#First_program
* the pre-tagged text should be able to expand to a higher width than the KDE logo graphic - ''Using the templates, the full width of the page is available''
* pre-tagged content should scale, but does not as this example shows:
 on a large-enough screen you should be able to see this line without scrolling, but you are not. - ''Make sure you are using the Chihuahua theme - I can see it all''
* openID sux - here is my URL: https://me.yahoo.com/a/eDGmfvsJlPJwqjOdB7tS5cWPgZg-
* I like to see directly under a page how often it has been read. This is default for mediawiki. - ''both this and the latest revision date are now shown'' [[User:Annew|annew]] 13:49, 17 September 2010 (CEST)

== controlling a cluster ==
You have a cluster of 16 servers and want to send commands to all servers at once? Not a problem with KDE 3.5. Use konsole and open 16 tabs, log in to each server on a special tab. Use one tab to send input to all tabs (right-click onto the tab -> send input to all sessions).

Problems I found:
* sometimes you forget that you are sending the input to all servers, this can lead to unpredictable behavior :(
* sometimes you change tabs and forget you have done this :(
* it is tedious to open 16 tabs and log in on every one to a dedicated server
* automated login via dcop does not work with KDE 4
* the "tab" key on your keyboard for auto-completion may display different results on different servers
* the cursor keys on your keyboard for command-repetition may display different results on different servers
* forgetting to end the "send input to all sessions" mode may lead to unpredictable behavior
* the commands may need different time to return on different hosts (especially downloading; if 16 servers download at the same time, the network delivers unpredictable response times)
* you will not see if the sessions answer differently (e.g. error on only one server)
* if you detach a tab, the input will continue to be sent there

= KDE Questions =
* I have 3 soundcards at the moment: my webcam, my headset and my "normal" soundcard. How can I tell kmix to use one specifc?
