Charte du Projet

La connaissance est un pouvoir. Un pouvoir éparpillé et diffus est inutile. Pour le dire clairement, la vision et le but ultime du Projet de Documentation de la Slackware est de devenir la première ressource mondiale d'informations concernant la Slackware. C'est un objectif noble, en effet. Cependant, il est clair que la vénérable Slackware Linux, la plus ancienne des distributions GNU/Linux encore maintenue, possède une base d'utilisateurs suffisante pour atteindre cet objectif. Nous vous invitons à nous rejoindre et à participer à cet effort.

Qui peut nous aider ? Tout le monde, de votre oncle Ed qui bricole sur son vieux portable sous Slackware aux gourous de Linux dotés de compétences de développement. Tout le monde est le bienvenu. Tous peuvent contribuer à améliorer quelque chose dans ce projet. Une ressource de type wiki comme celui-ci se nourrit de la communauté. Vous avez vu vous-mêmes ce que les communautés Open Source GNU/Linux ont fait dans le passé et font encore aujourd'hui. En travaillant ensemble, le potentiel de réussite est grandement multiplié.

Ce projet nécessitera la publication d'article qui couvrent toute la gamme des connaissances de la Slackware. Il y aura un besoin d'articles techniques sérieux sur le contrôle du matériel, les applications logicielles, les implémentations de Slackware Linux au niveau personnel et professionnel, l'administration du système, etc. Les articles seront également nécessaires au Slacker de tous les jours pour des sujets allant de simples howtos aux résolutions et solutions complexes.

Des articles publiés, comme avec la plupart des ressources de type wiki, seront examinées par des pairs. Des corrections peuvent être nécessaires, des amendements ajoutés, et ainsi de suite. Aucun article ne doit être considérée comme sans importance. Un article est intéressant s'il a un intérêt pour Slackware Linux ou s'il peut aider quelqu'un quelque part dans l'utilisation de ce système d'exploitation. Ce qui est fait ici est fait pour les autres. Ceci est un archivage de la connaissance en cours de construction pour l'avenir. Votre participation sera le ciment qui maintiendra chaque briques en place.

Afin de remplir les objectifs de ce projet, une liberté de parole la présence d'un fort esprit de coopération seront nécessaires. Les règles sont simples. Soyez aimable et attentionné dans vos relations avec les autres. Ce projet ne concerne pas les individus. Il concerne le partage d'une communauté et travailler ensemble vers un but. Votre ego ne fera pas partie du Projet de Documentation de la Slackware Linux. Merci de le laisser au vestiaire avant de vous connecter.

Telle est la notre contrat l'un envers l'autre et avec l'avenir.

The choice of software

This Wiki runs the DokuWiki software. This choice was made by the initiator of the project, Alien BOB. Basically when setting up a serious wiki there are two choices: MediaWiki and DokuWiki. Alien BOB has extensive experience with both - running DokuWiki for his own Slackware knowledgebase, and running a MediaWiki based knowledgebase for the customer Helpdesk of which he is the teamleader.

The choice for DokuWiki was made for several reasons; its syntax makes it more suitable for writing documentation as opposed to MediaWiki, which is more general-purpose. Also, DokuWiki is self-contained in a single directory and does not require an SQL database, which makes it highly portable (the intention is to make a “daily snapshot” tarball available for download once the Wiki foundation is complete). The DokuWiki also allows the use of Access Control Lists - a quality control measure which will be implemented after the formation of a proper team of editors (those who are going to be responsible for having high-quality texts while you, the authors, are responsible for the technical content).

The Wiki's functionality has been extended with several syntax plugins, which you will find listed at the bottom of the Wiki syntax page. You can follow the links for those plugins if you want to learn what they allow you to do when writing an article.

Artwork

The artwork used at the moment was created by asteroid who has some more examples of nice graphics on his own user page.
The admins asked (and received permission) from Patrick Volkerding to use these modifications of original Slackware artwork here on the Wiki.

Sidebar

To the left of the page you will find a sidebar with several boxes which can be edited (by the admins). Only the “toolbox” box is part of the wiki's monobook template, and can not be modified. More specifically,modifying the content of that toolbox would make future upgrades a pain.
If you have suggestions about entries which should absolutely be in one of those boxes, let us know (use the discussion page).

Community driven

Even though this documentation site has a hostname in the slackware.com domain, that does not mean it is a Slackware-controlled or sponsored project. The use of the domain name is a token of approval, rather. Also, the project was bootstrapped by Alien BOB, a Slackware coreteam member.
The content of the Wiki will not be controlled by “higher powers”. The content on any page in this wiki is determined by its author(s) and contributor(s).

Wiki structure

The core structure of the Wiki will be maintained by the site admins. That means: namespaces, visual identity, access controls and the like. It also means that the namespaces “slackware:”, “slackdocs:” and “slackbook:” are read-only for everyone except the editor/admin team.

Ideas for changing the core structure of the Wiki can be submitted through our mailing list ( http://lists.alienbase.nl/mailman/listinfo/slackdocs) or by editing the discussion page. The actual content is all up to you! We are open to good ideas for enhancement of the existing structure and content, and will not refuse any article in the “howtos:” section.

Assuring quality

[Not implemented yet] Our goal is to give you total creative freedom when writing content for the Wiki. But for the sake of quality assurance, we ask you to co-operate with one of our editors.
He or she may be able to offer suggestions about tags to use in your article so that it gets properly listed in the TOC. We also have tag categories that allow you to indicate your article applies to certain versions of Slackware only. You get the idea? You can also discuss an appropriate namespace to put your article in (consider a namespace as a wiki equivalent of a subdirectory - actually that is how it is implemented in the server's filesystem). The editor's primary role is to advise you on the structure of your article, ensure that it looks good, uses well-formed sentences - essentially that what any book editor would also do for you. You (the author of the article) will remain in control over the technical content! The editor will not enter into discussions about the (technical) content of your article, unless he spotted blatant errors of course. We assume that since you wrote it, you know better what you are talking about than do we…

In order to assist the editor with his work, the Wiki implements a mechanism of “publishing a page”. This means that the creation of a new page, or editing an existing page, will automatically put that page in “Draft” mode. The “Draft” message will be prominently visible on the page. If you are editing an existing page, then the original (approved) page will remain be visible to visitors of our Wiki. Only the registered users of the wiki (i.e. your fellow authors) will be able to see the draft instead of the approved version.
You have to consult one of our editors to get your page revision approved. That action will make it visible to the world.

Respect other people's work

Whenever other people's content is copied into this Wiki, any license and copyright terms which are applicable to the original content will be respected.
The name of the original author(s) as well as the originating URL have to be mentioned in the footer of your (possibly modified) copy of that content.
