From: mjt on 12 Jul 2010 16:10 What's up with the openSUSE wiki site? Whenever I select a hyperlink at http://software.opensuse.org, which would lead me to some page at http://en.opensuse.org, a webpage is displayed, but it always reads as: "There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages ..." (Example: http://en.opensuse.org/Download_Help) Pretty much all the various pages read like that. Are they "transitioning" the pages? Whoa ... look what I came across on the "Portal:11.3" page. Have I stepped into the future somehow? http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad261/myswtest/suse113.jpg "It was released on Thursday, July 15th..." ... but it's only Monday, the 12th. -- Finish the sentence below in 25 words or less: "Love is what you feel just before you give someone a good ..." <<< Remove YOURSHOES to email me >>>

The wiki has been being updated, pages brought up to standard, etc. with the new content on wiki.opensuse.org. The contents of that were supposed to be being moved back to en.opensuse.org today so it could be that they're in the process of moving them back and the pages aren't yet in place.

Personally, I think it was a silly idea and should have either been done a couple of weeks ago, or put off until at least a few weeks after the new release. However, it's being/been done and so it's a bit late to do much about it. However, a quick peek at the opensuse-announce mailing list did show a posting about the transfer, and requests for any missing pages be transferred to the new wiki. The old pages are still there, but you'll need to use this link to get to them: <http://old-en.opensuse.org/> Regards, David Bolt -- Team Acorn: www.distributed.net | | openSUSE 11.3RC2 32b | openSUSE 11.1 64b | openSUSE 11.2 64b | | openSUSE 11.1 PPC | TOS 4.02 | RISC OS 4.02 | RISC OS 3.11

I was after the "Mirrors" page, which I use occasionally use to get to the "master" mirror list. http://old-en.opensuse.org/Mirrors ... leading to: http://mirrors.opensuse.org/ I know I know, "why don't you have it bookmarked?" I like to do things the hard way. Anyway, it's bookmarked now :) Funny no one commented on the "11.3" page I caught. -- Keep emotionally active.

The forums also recently changed. Regards |
