The Wiki was migrated to moinmoin 1.7. Here are some things you might want to know:
Contents
News
Hosting sponsor
The wiki is hosted on a new machine. The hardware and bandwidth are sponsored by Dembach Goo Informatics (dg-i.net).
New wiki markup
The markup is much more consistent than it used to be:
Links : Links are now written between double square brackets:
[[http://www.debian.org]], [[FrontPage]], [[DebPkg:dash]]<<BR>> [[http://www.debian.org|The website]], [[FrontPage|The wiki]], [[DebPkg:dash|Dash]] package...
- is rendered as:
Note that moinmoin 1.7 automatically creates anchors based on the headers title.http://www.debian.org, FrontPage, dash
The website, The wiki, Dash package...
Macros: Macros are now written between angular brackets 1:
<<TableOfContents()>>, <<BR>>, <<Anchors(foobar)>>, <<FootNote(This is a test Footnote!)>>

Secure https access
You can now use https to securely sign into the wiki.
- Note: When you publish a URL (in mailing list, bug reports...), we recommend that you do not post https URL (to avoid "untrusted" SSL certificates problems)
New Theme
|
The wiki has switched to moinmoin's current theme (modern).
If you have an old account on the wiki, you might want to select the current theme, in your account preferences (Click on "Settings", then "Preferences").
Hints and Tips
Renaming your account
You can now rename your account (make sure you _rename_ your wiki homepage too). Click on Settings, then Preferences
Team homepages
- The wiki.debian.org/Teams/${team} is a good place to get new contributors...
A "News" section is a good idea (with links to interesting mails like "Bits from $?FooBar team", interesting threads on the mailing list, like squeeze road-map and status updates)
Important/Permanent material
If you link to your wiki page from some Debian material (alioth, documentation, package...), then add the page to the category "CategoryPermalink" so we can prevent 404s. Also make sure use use http link (i.e not https).
Watch your favourite pages
You can subscribe to the pages that matters to you, so you are notified of contributions to those pages.
Credits
