Hello LXDE people!
We should do some cleanup of the wiki and the blog. Some people tend to
introduce new useless categories (in the wiki) and tags (in the blog):
They introduce more redundancy and thus make info harder to find for the
users. For the writers it is more complicated to manage the wiki and the
blog.
So I suggest some guidelines:
* Do not use Categories (wiki) or tags (blog) if they will
propably never have more than one entry. For example the tag
"lxmusic 0.4.2" is useless because it is very likely that there
will be only one blog article about lxmusic 0.4.2. If you want a
tag, use "lxmusic" instead and apply it to all articles that
mention lxmusic.
* Do not use redundant names: Do not duplicate LXDE in the
tag/category, e.g. just "Community" or "Development" instead of
"LXDE Community" or "LXDE Development". It's clear that the LXDE
wiki will not deal with KDE development. Don't worry about
search engines, they will find us anyway.
* The category "LXDE" is the most useless category but contains 56
articles. What are we going to to with it?
* To remove a category from the wiki, first empty it by removing
the category from the wiki pages and then make a redirect from
the removed category to the proper one, e.g. from "Category:LXDE
Development" to "Category:Development". This is done with
"#REDIRECT [[name of the target page]]"
* Categories should start with capital letters. Not sure about
tags in the wiki though, but we should make sure that we don't
have the same tag with capital and lower case letters.
* Last but not least: When you edit the wiki, please add a small
note for the changelogs.
Does everybody agree to these guidelines? If so, we should agree on a
basic set of categories for the wiki and make sure that every wiki page
is at least in one of them.
Suggestions for categories:
* Components (not "LXDE Components"!)
* Community
* Development
* Distributions
* Events
* FAQ
* GSoCc (or "Google Summer of Code" but not both!)
* GSoC1009
* GSoC2010 (or "Google Summer of Code 2010" but not both!)
* HowTo
* Press
* Projects (as starting point or people who want to get involved,
otherwise kill it)
* Translations (better "Localization")
* Website
The rest of the categories IMO is usless. See
http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Special:Categories for a full list.
Comments, thoughts, rants? Just let me know.
Regards,
Christoph
