Some (lost, personal) notes on distribution
Categorization Notes
Although this page is in my 'private' space, if anybody lands here and has something to say, please feel free to do so!
Pages where Special:Categories and structure of the OLPCWiki: structure is being discussed/referenced:
| Rank | Page | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| dead | Page Categories | has been tagged for Category:Pages for deletion... |
| high | Talk:Page Categories | nice small top level hierarchy proposal |
| medium | User talk:Sj#Hey | interesting idea about 'parceling' pages... would that be 'sub-pages'? is it doable? |
| low | OLPCWiki:Community Portal & #To Do List |
Requesting work to be done on the subject... |
| high | OLPCWiki talk:Community Portal | Plenty of feedback and ideas |
| high | User talk:Aburton | The section on < includeonly > considered harmless is food for thought |
| medium | Talk:Sharing your content with OLPC#Language vs Language | Hints to an interesting issue when i18n efforts will take off: source language vs target language |
| medium | Talk:Hyperlinked hub | Proposed subject categorization (for content) |
| medium | User talk:Nitpicker#re: pre-literate | Categorization based on 'education level' |
| high | Educational content ideas/language learning#Strategies for Language learning | Citation and enumeration of strategies used for language learning... probably some material could be categorized based on those (or similar) axis |
| medium | Talk:OS images#Reorganizing "Build images" pages | Proposes some criteria for splitting up the page - maybe its ideas are reusable? |
| medium | Subjects | A categorization for content - how international or global is it really? Mainly western? |
| medium | OLPC Human Interface Guidelines/Activities/Activity Bundles#Activity Tags | To top things off, as the project crystalizes, categories will have to deal with Activities |
| high | User:Sj/Log/Idea pooling | Summary of ideas among users on how to gear the pooling of ideas... maybe too complex? and a bit outside of my scope? |
| reference | Wiki | Sort of general depot for some issues related to the wiki |
| high | Talk:Educators#Improving site organization - Content contribution storyboarding? | Another take at the broad layout / categories for the site |
Other things
User:Aburton was really active, particularly working on Special:Categories... but hasn't been around since 2006-08-21 15:39:34... any ideas why?
Wishlist & Tests
Would be cool to have Interwiki linking. I've been trying several things, but can't get it to work.
Apparently, this would be a link to wikipedia's article on Argentina, but no. I've tried Argentina, Wikipedia:Argentina, Argentina, this and others, but to no avail... I think that there's quite a bit of functionality in this wiki that hasn't been activated... #if: doesn't work either...
Another option is that I can't make it work! ;)
For reference, here the WikiMedia's current interwiki map and sample map
Editing a wiki is a fairly simple thing to do; but to do it right, a bit of documentation is required:
- Wikipedia's Help and Contents editing on Magic words and Diff
- Parser Functions
- MediaWiki and its Manual Contents and Extensions
