Hi,

I just wanted to thank Jean Hollis Weber and whoever else created this wiki site. It's a great job, and I have linked to it from the Digital Tipping Point links page. 2005/12/20 Christian Einfeldt


Christian, I had nothing to do with setting up this wiki, though I'm flattered that you think I did. :-) When I have time, I'll be contributing to it. --Jean Hollis Weber

Suggestion for some re-organization

Dudes. We -so- need a main page/everything else cleanup .. :) Looking at the Scribus wiki and the Mozilla Developer Center just makes me salivate. Currently the main page is more or less a link farm without much structure. How about adding some layout and thinking a bit more about entry points to different regions of the wiki/main site? We could probably initially borrow the MDC style sheet to get us started? (or design our own?) --KaiB 19:09, 26 March 2006 (CEST)

Just a little suggestion, do you guys think the current Wiki need a bit of cleanup and re-organization? I also contributed to the Scribus Wiki and I think the Scribus wiki-doc authors are doing a nice job of placing content in a well organized manner. -- Wily Yuen, Feb 13, 2006

Reply to myself: if this is a good idea, give me a nod. I'll try to move things around a little and hope that I won't mess things up ;) ---- Wily Yuen, Feb 13, 2006
Yes, it does. The Marketing section wants all of its pages named [[Marketing--pagename]], although they would interact better with the wiki software if they were [[Marketing/pagename]]. I've made a suggestion to switch this. Further organization should be done through the use of categories. Categories are very easy to use, just add the tag [[Category:XXXX]] to the page. I have done this for all of the marketing pages that I could find. Actually, if you view Marketing, you will see the template I created for marketing pages. The development section has a lot of miscellaneous pages. View Special:Uncategorized pages. Also, there are a number of pages that look like they are simply Wikipedia entries. I don't think they belong here. If we do have a glossary, it should be in a page like Glossary or List of OpenOffice.org-related terms. Contact me if you need help with creating templates, etc. --RealGrouchy 07:15, 21 February 2006 (CET)

Spamming

There are repeated attempts by the same poster to spam the Main Page with links to advertising sites. Should the Wiki admin do something about it? --Zero0w 16:37, 25 March 2006 (CET)

The user has been blocked. Thanks for the heads-up. --stx12 16:55, 25 March 2006 (CET)

Let us add XML and other file formats for upload<->download only

Hi! I have made a web page in my NLC project that uses data from a XML file. Now I have tried to put it on some open for user-editing page, like Wiki, so they could download it, edit it and upload without accessing CVS, using the Wiki and the effects would be seen in my NLC project page. But I am getting some "xml is a wrong file type for Wiki" message :( I think it is a very useless limitation that user can not upload any file type. I have tried some other wikis, like wikosource, wikimedia, wikibooks, and everywhere the same strange problem with uploading other various types. Let's be the first to get rid of unnatural limitations. Software that uses XML for writing files should allow users to edit XML pages through Wiki or in some other way. --Konrad 14:45, 2 April 2006 (CEST)

Well I have found the needed functionality in "documents&files" section of the project, but still it would be great if uploading xml files would be available in Wiki --Konrad 15:00, 2 April 2006 (CEST)

Unable to upload files

Hello, Why are we not allowed to upload files on this wiki? I would like to upload 2 images. Thanks, Val1984 10:07, 28 April 2006 (CEST)

uploads have been unintentionally disabled during the last upgrade. Give it a try now. --stx12 21:49, 2 May 2006 (CEST)

link to OpenOffice.org_Solutions?

Would anyone object if I put a link on the main page for http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org_Solutions? This page is new and is currently not linked anywhere, basically making it impossible to find. Pending a re-org of the main page, I was thinking it might be good to put a link for that page under "Finding general OpenOffice.org user help".
