| I think your site really rocks. How can I help? --exampleuser 11:25, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

| '''And now for the actual questions:''' | |
| | |
| == Content from http://wiki.kde.org/ ==
| |
| | |
| Will http://wiki.kde.org/ still be alive?
| |
| Should the content of http://wiki.kde.org/ migrated to UserBase and TechBase?
| |
| Now we have a lot of webpages and wikis. Some of them are outdated.
| |
| | |
| Cheers, --[[User:Mark Ziegler|Mark Ziegler]] 12:49, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :As I understand it, wiki.kde.org will eventually disappear, once all the useful content is migrated to either UserBase or TechBase. I think I've already migrated most of the UserBase level pages - so now I should go through w.k.o. and mark them as also in UserBase. It would be a good idea if devs could check their more tech pages and migrate those to TechBase. We're aiming for a clear division between user-centric and developer-centric, accepting that some advanced users will be on the brink of both. --[[User:Annew|annew]] 16:35, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::I will take care of some pages at w.k.o I created myself, move content and set links to userbase. --[[User:Mark Ziegler|Mark Ziegler]] 12:49, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

| == Icons on the main page ==
| |
| | |
| When you click on an icon on the main page (and presumably others too), you go to the mediawiki page about the icon, and not, as most people probably expect, to the title link. Well, at least, i expected that.
| |
| : What you actually see when you do that is the information that is stored on the UserBase image gallery. I suspect that that is a built-in, and we can't change it, but I will find out. The clickable link is the bold title beside the icon. If you have any ideas for making that clearer, please tell us.--[[User:Annew|annew]] 17:45, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::Apparently it is possible to link the icons, though it needs a plugin. Since we'll have to add a link to every icon on the site that may take a few days, but we'll get it fixed. Thanks for reporting the problem. --[[User:Annew|annew]] 19:08, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

| :::Why not having an html table like mainpage at amaroks wiki? Source: http://amarok.kde.org/amarokwiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit . That was done quick and works fine. --[[User:Mark Ziegler|Mark Ziegler]] 11:03, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :::I added a solution now, using the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap ImageMap] extension and converted the welcome page. Syntax looks a bit clumsy, but maybe we can make this into a template. Will play around with it later. --[[User:Danimo|danimo]] 23:27, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::::Should we start using it or wail until a template is ready? I used it here:http://userbase.kde.org/Getting_Help for a first try. --[[User:Mark Ziegler|Mark Ziegler]] 09:59, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| == Multilanguage ==
| |
| | |
| Are there any plans to have pages in other language than english? In Techbase it is really nice to have it. Specially users are frequently using only there native language. Cheers. --[[User:Mark Ziegler|Mark Ziegler]] 12:52, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :The multilanguage template is in place, see (and use) [[Template:I18n/Language_Navigation_Bar|this template]]. --[[User:Danimo|danimo]] 16:17, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::Should we add i18n template to every page or just for main pages? --[[User:Mark Ziegler|Mark Ziegler]] 09:59, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::Is it possible to just provide a wiki platform, and let users to fill it in our own native language instead of translating the original page? I mean, for example, make a page http://userbase.kde.org/zh_TW/ or a site called http://zh_TW.userbase.kde.org/. -- [[User:Franklin|Franklin]]
| |
| | |
| :::The problem as I see it is that information would not be exchanged across all available languages. I don't know the answer to that, so would welcome any suggestions. --[[User:Annew|annew]] 09:21, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

| == KDE versions. ==
| |
| | |
| How can we easily indicate at each page, for which KDE version this information is valid ?
| |
| Maybe some templates, at least with 3.x, 4.x, distribution-specific.
| |
| Or each app can have box on their page with info about "what you have to do to have this app on your system". So for example for konqueror there will write that it is available in every kde install. For plasmoids there will be info that you need kde4 and packages this and that. Etc.
| |
| --[[User:Ajuc|Ajuc]] 15:02, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :I vote for it. Having a small indicator for kde3 or kde4 would be nice. --[[User:Mark Ziegler|Mark Ziegler]] 11:00, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::I would like to see that, as well as indicators for skill levels where appropriate. To get started we really need some dedicated icons, though. I don't think they need to be as detailed as oxygen icons, so maybe this is something we could do ourselves? Open to suggestions on that.
| |
| | |
| :::I just created two templates for those:
| |
| :::{{KDE3}}
| |
| :::{{KDE4}}
| |
| :::Please put comments in the Discussion tab of [[Template:KDE3]] and [[Template:KDE4]] if there's something you need done with it. --[[User:Jucato|Jucato]]
| |
| | |
| Also, suggestions on form of icon - a circle with KDEx? circle with Skillx? They may be difficult to read at small sizes. Please give us some ideas. --[[User:Annew|annew]] 11:55, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

| == KDE4 feature from KDE 3 ==
| |
| | |
| There is a very useful feature in KDE 3 that I am waiting for in KDE 4. The ability to click anywhere on the desktop and have it pull up my application menu. I do not know what this feature is officially called, but This is really the last big piece of functionality that I am waiting on before taking the plunge to KDE 4 on all of my machines.
| |
| | |
| Please, keep up the good work.

| :Please record wishes on bugs.kde.org - developers may not see these pages. --[[User:Annew|annew]] 11:55, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

| == Dictionary page with terms not known by non-linux users ==
| |
| | |
| When describing programs, or writing tutorials, I often have to use words, new users won't understand. Like K-menu, Home folder, terminal, etc.
| |
| | |
| It would be nice, to have pages to link to, when desribing such things, instead of putting short descriptions everywhere.
| |
| | |
| I'd add these pages, but I don't know where to add them.
| |
| Maybe we can create Dictionary page, which will list all such terms. --[[User:Ajuc|Ajuc]] 11:36, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
| |
| :I've found [[Glossary]] page, but it is oriented for more advanced users, and I can't link to each word separatelly (or can I?). Also, there's no place for words like "Home folder", etc (not closely binded to KDE).--[[User:Ajuc|Ajuc]] 12:20, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
