| − | == Volunteering to improve the wiki ==
| + | #REDIRECT [[eLinux.org:Site_support]] |
| − | Below please find links to various pages with information and ideas for content and feature additions
| + | |
| − | to the eLinux wiki.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | (Various lists have crept up over the years, lets try to gather links to them here:)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Lists of editor tasks:
| + | |
| − | * [[Volunteer editor tasks]]
| + | |
| − | * [[Embedded wiki issues list]]
| + | |
| − | ** Specific cleanup tasks
| + | |
| − | *** Resolve duplication between [[Embedded Linux Distributions]] and [[Hardware Hacking]] pages (and one other page mentioned by Klaas)
| + | |
| − | * Create [[Wanted]] pages
| + | |
| − | ** See also [[Special:Wantedpages]]
| + | |
| − | A lot of wanted pages are just dangling links from the Help pages, for pages that were not
| + | |
| − | created when we initially set up the wiki. I think most of these types of pages can just be
| + | |
| − | set to stubs. Alternatively, we can look at the MediaWiki site and copy the page from their
| + | |
| − | site for these dangling help examples.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Another big set of wanted pages are for links between pages that were copied from
| + | |
| − | the old CELF public wiki to here. This was done with some automated tools, which I think
| + | |
| − | made some errors in the translation from MoinMoin to MediaWiki. If the
| + | |
| − | legacy CELF page exists in this site, the link on the "requesting" page just needs to
| + | |
| − | be repaired. If there is not matching page, then the link should just be removed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Just for fun, I'm keeping track over time of some metrics:
| + | |
| − | === Wanted page count history ===
| + | |
| − | {| border="1"
| + | |
| − | ||Date||Wanted page count
| + | |
| − | |-
| + | |
| − | ||Dec 12, 2008||233
| + | |
| − | |-
| + | |
| − | ||April 6, 2009||241 (why up?)
| + | |
| − | |}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * add categories to [[Special:Uncategorizedpages|Uncategorized pages]]
| + | |
| − | * de-orphan [[Special:Lonelypages|Orphaned pages]]
| + | |
| − | To de-orphan a page, follow the link to the page, and create a link to it from
| + | |
| − | an appropriate other page in the wiki. Before doing that, check to make sure that the
| + | |
| − | information on the page is not duplicated somewhere else in the wiki (maybe by doing
| + | |
| − | a search). Alternatively, sometimes the information can be copied from the orphan
| + | |
| − | to someplace else, and the orphan removed. If you copy the information to somewhere else,
| + | |
| − | just edit the orphan to make it empty, and add the page name to the list here, and an
| + | |
| − | administrator will remove the page.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | List of empty orphan pages:
| + | |
| − | * <put page name here>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Orphan page count history ===
| + | |
| − | {| border="1"
| + | |

| − | Lists of administrator tasks:
| + | |
| − | * [[Embedded wiki to-do list]] - a task list for administrators
| + | |
| − | * [[Embedded Wiki wanted features]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Other lists:
| + | |
| − | * [[Elinux issues]] - miscellaneous ideas of things to do
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Resources for volunteers and wiki administrators ==
| + | |
| − | To communicate with other elinux wiki volunteers, editors and administrators, please join
| + | |
| − | our
| + | |
| − | * [[ELinuxWiki:Mailing List|Mailing list]]
| + | |
| − | * [[eLinuxWiki:History|History page]] - has information about how we got here and why. Also, has links to pages used for previous activities, like contests and promotions.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Ideas to encourage contributions ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === systems to facilitate exiting content review ===
| + | |
| − | * create email system that people can subscribe to, to review wiki pages a little at a time
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === systems to facilitate addition of content ===
| + | |
| − | * ability to bounce an LKML email to a collector, possibly adding a tag
| + | |
| − | ** collector would post to wiki, with tag
| + | |
| − | * ability to forward and LKML email to a site, which returns you a URL (on e.g. lkml.org) for that message
| + | |
| − | ** This makes it easier to link to an LKML message or thread.
| + | |
| − | * ability to rate LKML messages on a web site
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Donations ==
| + | |
| − | We don't really have an official mechanism for donations of money.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | We are, however, looking for donations of items we can use for prizes
| + | |
| − | for some of our upcoming contests. Embedded Linux-based products,
| + | |
| − | or tools or books related to embedded Linux, would be most appreciated.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you have something like this, or a large donation (greater than $100), please
| + | |
| − | contact [[User:TimBird|Tim Bird]] or [[User:wmat|Bill Traynor]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Tim is available at: tim (dot) bird (at) am (dot) sony (dot) com.
| + | |
| − | Bill is available at: wmat (at) naoi (dot) ca.
