Re: Wiki page of the Day, how users find them once they're ready?

2008-08-11 Thread Eero Tamminen
Hi,

Could something be done for the old Wiki?   If I use Google, it
returns links to the old Wiki which would seem to have mostly
IT2005/2006 information.  Try for example googling ssh site:maemo.org.

Could something like for information on ITOS 2007 and newer, see
the new wiki at wiki.maemo.org be automatically added to the beginning
of each of the old wiki pages?

I just added a note to:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Root_access#OpenSSH

about SSH X forwarding needing the xauth package and finding
the correct(?) page could have been easier...

This is a good plan, there was some discussion around it a while ago, but I 
don't know what the result ever was.

Well, um, that really isn't the correct page for information like that at all. 
A large part of the reason you weren't able to find up-to-date ssh info on the 
new wiki is because it really isn't there. Somebody should probably put one 
together.

Yes, the intention was to add a header to the top of all wiki pages
saying that the wiki had definitively moved, and that the old wiki was
locked.

The wiki got locked, but the deprecated message was only added to the
front page.

If there is content in the old wiki which should be moved (after all, I
exercised some editorial judgement on content that was of a good enough
quality to move), then please move  edit it. It's better to create
useful new pages than to refer to the deprecated wiki.

In general, one-line wiki pages aren't very welcome :) Perhaps a page
about SSH in general, which talks about X relaying, but also (say) how
to set up an ssh tunnel, etc?
