Debian Wiki

Some idea about what Debian Wiki is :

  • Focus on what's useful to Debian

Some idea about what Debian Wiki isn't:

  • wiki.d.o isn't www.debian.org/doc/
  • wiki.d.o isn't packages.debian.org
  • wiki.d.o isn't a manpages repository.
  • wiki.d.o isn't wikipedia
  • wiki.d.o isn't jargon file
  • wiki.d.o isn't dictionnary

Some best practive for wiki editors :

  • less is more.
  • advertise the use of proper terms (X11 and XWindow aren't interchangeable words..)

My plan

  • Many wiki page contains merely a few words or links, often, not related to Debian at all.
  • Obsolete content should 1)Update 2) Deleted ... or exceptionally, 3)Preserved for Historical purposed (and marked as such).
  • Perfection is not when there is nothing to add, but when there is nothing to remove. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery). To put it another way, Once you have finished to write a page, it's time to consider to make it shorter

My log

2007-08-08

/!\ what about wiki-pages for packages ? looks like duplicate with packages.debian.org to me. (see ?MetaPackages in http://wiki.debian.org/nanos?action=recall&rev=1 )

2007-08-07

Merged "From Windows To Debian" and FromWindowsToDebian (plus related cleanup) ?BR Merged *X_Window_System* ?BR Merged *WindowManager* ?BR Merged *Desktop environment*

2007-08-06

Prepare the merged ?DotNetFrontPage, ?OldFrontPage to FrontPage

2007-08-06
Major cleanup around "Debian Enterprise" pages.
2007-08-05

Merged ?WikiUsers and ?DebianUsers

2007-08-05

InterWiki Migration : Cleaning-up "RemoteWikiURL" links from old wiki.d.o (based on kwiki). ?BR RemoteWikiURL were used in http://zwiki.org/ to declare others wiki. (many wiki pages were needed in thoses zwiki days.. deprecated today)

2007-05-28
Installing_Debian_On project started.

My ToDo

  • actually delete ?DotNetFrontPage and ?OldFrontPage

  • advertise the use of "?GetText" Macro (for Gnome Menu translation, etc...)

  • advertise the use of InterWiki (?DebPkg and bug..)

Various pages require some cleanup :

        coreutils

        DebianWikiTopics <=> Index <=> FrontPage ?
        DealingWithSpam

        *wiki.debian.net*
        PlanningYourSystem?action=recall&rev=4 => *
        ConsoleSurvival
        DebianFluxbox


And the collection below (looks like duplicating the content of packages.debian.org IMHO)
 * EducationAstronomy
 * EducationBiology
 * EducationChemistry
 * EducationDesktopGnome
 * EducationDesktopKde
 * EducationElectronics
 * EducationGeography
 * EducationGraphics
 * EducationLanguage
 * EducationLogicGames
