Questions
- I've been patrolling the general edits, does it help? I try not to patrol technical and similar edits that may compromise the hardware/software builds, etc
- Yes, it helps.
- I'm trying to categorize the site, and was thinking that Wikipedia's handling of subcategories as expandable lists would be a nice extension to have in order to avoid content being lost deep within sub-categories (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Computer_architecture)
- Ahh, interesting point. We should do this.
- I've been doing some reworks with the Ask OLPC a Question area (mainly writing up /Summary pages for the ... about XXX pages). The selection of questions (and body of the answer) could use some OLPC staff member to review their correctness. comments? should those /Summary pages be protected? if yes, only to registered users or exclusively admins?
- No need to protect them; just keep an eye on them. I try not to protect anything until some vandal starts to make them unusable.
- FYI: People are still posting general questions on the Talk:The_OLPC_Wiki page, even though it is supposed to redirect to Talk:Main Page (which makes it something of a black hole for questions). Is it possible to disable editing on that discussion page (or merge the two)? —Joe 11:51, 7 September 2007 (EDT)
Where are our readers from?
Some time ago I raised the question about who's reading what - and more importantly (for me) from where. (See here). My question originates in that knowing that kind of information we may be able either to tune content or promote/demote links in the front page, faq, etc. For example, if I knew that it was argies rarely visit Argentina's page, it could mean that they are looking for other kind of news, data, whatever; but at least I'd know they aren't reading it - maybe it's just lack of local diffusion.--Xavi 20:49, 20 January 2007 (EST)
