Were you meaning "fundamental" or possibly "foundation"? ~vtel 082212@1915hrsEDT - In the //Choice of Software// section, I am unsure of the use/meaning of the word "fundament".

 +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//

 +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//

 +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 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
