You're welcome to do so. - You can just add a tag like {{tag>UNMAINTAINED}} or {{tag>DEAD_LINK}} (A tag in dokuwiki may not contain whitespaces) or a combination of these {{tag>UNMAINTAINED DEAD_LINK}} ;) - If the tag is used the first-time it will be rendered in RED - click on the link and create/save an index-page (from a template) for this tag. eg. http://apps.linuxaudio.org/apps/all/ubuntustudio http://apps.linuxaudio.org/apps/categories/linux_audio_bundles_distributions We can assign images to certain tags - There are already a couple for JACK, LV2, DEB, RPM, etc. but this is unfinished work. > A possible solution could be to include some mechanism to show which > packages were updated in the last couple years by including a timestamp > for the last release (like proposed in the wiki) in the app entry and to > add an to the listings, which shows projects updated in the last 12 months. We had the idea to use lsm files to grep version information from, or provide a wiki META-INFO for source-repos - the problem is that these automatic-polling mechanisms are very prone to spamming. > I'd like to mess with the wiki some more, but first I'd like to have a > possibility to mark those old projects... You should be able to help yourself already. If you have a local account (no openID) I can add you to the editor's group which makes few things (batch uploads, changes etc) easier. I was planning an update of the content of apps/wiki for months already; What about we share the workload and do it in October. It won't be too hard to make a script that checks for dead links and auto-tags apps-pages. - I'm going to resume http://mir.dnsalias.com/blog/linux_sound_tags . I made a few scripts to mass-rename tags and categories for dokuwiki; but it's still 200 tag-names to walk-through and I'm rather busy ATM as well ;( keep in touch, robin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkjqiagACgkQeVUk8U+VK0J9bwCfQfREp2CpGIs9tWnAfaYRn4ny L0sAn185oauQKCvki4BQgs4C8TFtEkn1 =gZgp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
