082212@1915hrsEDT - In the //Choice of Software// section, I am unsure of the use/meaning of the word "fundament". Were you meaning "fundamental" or possibly "foundation"? ~vtel ------ Foundation is the better word indeed. \\ --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2012/08/22 16:20// ------ 082312@0929hrsEDT - Foundation exchanged for fundament. ~vtel ---- Re: Project Charter 1st draft I tend to ramble on when I get in front of a keyboard, as Eric knows from my admin list postings. ;) Please read/comment on my 1st draft of the Project Charter. We can, of course, edit/amend or just totally scrap that one. ~vtel ---- Some sentences are in the first person: "//running a MediaWiki based knowledgebase for the customer Helpdesk of which I am the teamleader//", "//I asked Patrick...//". Which is fine and makes for a less formal read. But in that case, I suggest to **sign** the article. The reader may wonder "Who's talking here?" --- Niki Sat Aug 25 07:38:05 CEST 2012 ---- Niki, the section to which you are referring is Eric's (Alien Bob) output. I only made a minor grammatical correction there. I'll let Eric respond to you regarding this. --- //[[nocturnal.slacker@hotmail.com|V. T. Eric Layton]] 2012/08/25 11:38// ---- I have already re-written my first-person crap ;-) I should have paid better attention. \\ --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2012/08/25 11:46// ---- Why? First person is good! Fun to read and everything. I would keep the first person and then sign the article. But then, it's a question of personal preferences.//[[wiki:user:kikinovak| Niki Kovacs]]// ---- I wonder if the [[http://docs.slackware.com/slackdocs:tutorial#language_considerations | Language considerations]] wouldn't be more aptly placed in the Wiki News page. What do you think? //[[wiki:user:kikinovak| Niki Kovacs]]// ---- I was wondering if we should move the project charter to the main page. Not necessarily the one I wrote here, but "a project charter" of some sort. Thoughts? --- //[[nocturnal.slacker@hotmail.com|V. T. Eric Layton]] 2012/08/26 12:20// > I agree that the project charter should be listed on the main page. \\ > --- [[wiki:user:mfillpot|mfillpot]] 2012/08/26 15:32 ---- We should //first// finish the Project Charter, and //then// link it on the main page: "We invite you to read our [[slackdocs:news#project_charter|Project Charter]]" . \\ --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2012/08/26 12:39// ---- True that. Still waiting feedback on the charter. In another day or so, barring any really negative feedback, I'll finalize it. --- //[[nocturnal.slacker@hotmail.com|V. T. Eric Layton]] 2012/08/26 13:36// ---- Maybe drop "living" from "the oldest living actively maintained distribution"? --- //[[wiki:user:brianl|Brian Lawrence]] 2012/08/28 06:31// @Brian - True. It is a bit redundant. --- //[[wiki:user:nocturnal.slacker|V. T. Eric Layton]] 2012/08/28 10:44// ---- I must not have read all too well what I had written... it is a bad piece of text. I agree that "the oldest actively maintained distribution" sounds much better. \\ --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2012/08/28 07:09// ---- Thoughts on finalizing this page so we can remove the note about expansion? * What's the main purpose of this page? * What do we want it to say to the world? * What's needed to finalize? Since it's a "news" page, should we add links to external sources with articles about this project? The DistroWatch mention or the LQ.org thread, for instance. \\ --- //[[wiki:user:nocturnal.slacker|V. T. Eric Layton]] 2012/09/10 19:32// ------ Yes, having a section on this page, mentioning the external references to our site would be nice. In the meantime I removed the notice banner and also moved the "project charter" to the top where it belongs.\\ I am a bit in doubt if we should rename this page into "about the project" or something like that, and re-create a "news" page with actual news as content. \\ --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2012/09/11 03:16// > Good ideas, the renaming and separate News page. --- //[[wiki:user:brianl|Brian Lawrence]] 2012/09/11 05:54// >>Yes, I like. :-) --- //[[wiki:user:nocturnal.slacker|V. T. Eric Layton]] 2012/09/11 10:27// ---- This: ======= The choice of software ======= Should be be written ====== The choice of software ====== to render a level 1 heading. That works as is but DokuWiki's parser is a bit too permissive; I think ;) --- //[[wiki:user:didierspaier| Didier Spaier]]// > You're correct Didier, I have fixed that heading. \\ --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2015/04/03 14:47// -------------------------- > i put an image into a page i'm working on [[howtos:misc:anatomy_of_a_slackbuild]] > > but found text would not wrap; i tried various work-arounds > and also a look to see anybody else solved it. Apparently there is a "plugin" for this sort of wiki so that text wraps around images. Could it be installed ? done cheers --- //[[wiki:user:captain_sensible|andy brookes]] 2019/12/31 16:34 (UTC)// You can make text flow next to your image if you make it either left- or right-aligned with the page. Check the Dokuwiki Manual for the proper syntax, the link is in the left sidebar. But I should warn you that images with text flow are not going to make your page look better. If you center the image it will look a lot better instead.\\ --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2020/01/01 01:22 (UTC)// --------------------------- I don't know if this is the right place to say this (let me know if it is not) but I have given it my best shot for the page [[howtos:misc:anatomy_of_a_slackbuild]] .So i humbly invite all on this site to tell me where I am lacking understanding, i.e where it is obliviously not correct, where it should be clarified etc --- //[[wiki:user:captain_sensible|andy brookes]] 2020/01/05 16:42 (UTC)// --------------------------
