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-tagged content

Use the templates {{Input|1=}} and {{Output|1=}} in preference to <pre>

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 annew 13:49, 17 September 2010 (CEST)

new articles

Here are articles that I want to write.

AutoStart

Quieten a computer

You work in an office with colleagues and you do not want to disturb them with your computer making sound. You want to quieten your computer

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?
