I believe that the [[Bitfrost]] and [[OLPC Bitfrost]] pages should be reviewed with an eye towards merging them, see [[Talk:Bitfrost]] for my query and Walter's reply. DIY wiki ethos notwithstanding, Bitfrost is currently unprotected, but OLPC Bitfrost was [http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=protect&user=&page=OLPC+Bitfrost protected] about a year ago by Ivan Krstic and the number of subject matter experts that should be entrusted with the task is small. While content can be copied over from OLPC Bitfrost to Bitfrost, a merge template cannot be placed on OLPC Bitfrost to tag it for such editing at a later time. In an ideal world, an editor with sufficient experience with Bitfrost (maybe someone on the security mailing list) can be enticed to perform the merge in coordination with an admin willing to remove/re-apply page protection as needed. This suggestion is offered for your consideration in the spirit of improving the wiki by someone who realizes that the details of improvements in that subject area are over his head and in any event will require an admin's participation.

=== 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 [[Talk:The_OLPC_Wiki#Visitor statistics|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.--[[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 20:49, 20 January 2007 (EST) |

Images
There are two (for me) unsolved issues with images:
- Missing something like [[Special:Uncategorizedimages]] - similar tu Special:Uncategorizedpages or Special:Uncategorizedcategories - which makes the organization of images extremeley tedious and error-prone since I've only found Special:Imagelist and Special:Newimages).
- Categorized images are embeded in the same page as articles (see Category:Keyboard) which makes sense except that (depending on the quantity of images) it can make some category pages extremely heavy and noisy.
Could something be done about it? --Xavi 09:33, 18 January 2007 (EST)
Annoying vandal
Just noticed a user who's made a bunch of nonsense edits: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Special:Contributions/18.80.0.161
Can you lock the IP? Thanks. Homunq 00:43, 31 January 2008 (EST)
- blocked. --Chihyu 01:49, 31 January 2008 (EST)
ps you look like an interesting person.
Misplaced User pages
Just FYI, Rummaging around in uncategorized and orphaned pages I found these that look like they belong over in the User namespace instead of Main. Cjl 18:27, 4 March 2008 (EST)
Brendan_Ballou, Gloria_Meneses, JamieScuffell, Maito:Johnathan.Howard@acm.org, Michxo, Sahil.smartguy@gmail.com, Sahil_Singla, ThePerturbator, Raffy, Trent_Waddington,
- Some of the pages were deleted for containing reduntant info, but many are annon user pages. We won't move it to the user's IP in the userspace, will we? ffm 21:04, 4 March 2008 (EST)
Category confusion (OLPC pages)
"maintained" 2 members, Category page has text "These pages are monitored by OLPC. Please use the associated talk pages for your comments."
"monitored" 675 members, Category page has no text, red cat links on pages in this category.
Simple to fix, but I thought it best to let an admin-type do this. Cjl 16:47, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
Vandal?
You might want to keep an eye on 69.77.160.2. I just deleted "Mmm. Tositos & Dip" from Deployment_Guide/Logistics, Other contribs seem to include adding and then removing gibberish. Cjl 12:38, 25 March 2008 (EDT)
- Blocked him. Thanks! —Joe 19:20, 25 March 2008 (EDT)
index.php vandals
I don't want to fill Joe's talk page with lists of these as I come across them. There is a particular pattern that looks like some sort of vandal bot. I intend to post them to OLPC_talk:Vandalism if/when I see them, but there are only three watching users, hopefully they are all vandal-stomping admins. Cjl 14:57, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
Bitfrost and OLPC Bitfrost
I believe that the Bitfrost and OLPC Bitfrost pages should be reviewed with an eye towards merging them, see Talk:Bitfrost for my query and Walter's reply. DIY wiki ethos notwithstanding, Bitfrost is currently unprotected, but OLPC Bitfrost was protected about a year ago by Ivan Krstic and the number of subject matter experts that should be entrusted with the task is small. While content can be copied over from OLPC Bitfrost to Bitfrost, a merge template cannot be placed on OLPC Bitfrost to tag it for such editing at a later time. In an ideal world, an editor with sufficient experience with Bitfrost (maybe someone on the security mailing list) can be enticed to perform the merge in coordination with an admin willing to remove/re-apply page protection as needed. This suggestion is offered for your consideration in the spirit of improving the wiki by someone who realizes that the details of improvements in that subject area are over his head and in any event will require an admin's participation.

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)
