Improving the PageRank of individual wiki pages
Hi,
Let me first stress that the success of the wiki is tight to how many
users find it as a resource. And that users will only find the wiki for
their problems if it has a higher PageRank.
(I am using PageRank as an example, other search engines would do
better if we can implement some changes overall.)
If we take the HowTos/Laptops/Wireless page as an example, the page is not
part of the

CentOS Events on wiki menu
Hi,
Is it possible to rename the CentOS Events tab to simply Events ?
The other tabs do not include CentOS either.
For a published article today I required a desktop screenshot. However on
1024x768 with a non-fullscreen browser at wiki.centos.org, the number of
tabs required me to make the browser-width larger than I liked it to be.

Wiki restructure
Hi all,
Now that there is an effort underway to improve the look/theme of the
Wiki. I would like to discuss the content of the wiki.
IMO there are too many links on the frontpage. With a new theme, the
News/Events items on top can go into a sidebar, so that will be taken care
of the news items. I will not discuss them here.
But currently, there is little structure in all the links/titles on the

CentOS wiki/web changes
Hi,
A few things I would like to see fixed in the short term:
+ Simplifying the frontpage. I gave a rationale on my blog why I think
the frontpage should be more simple an structured. You can see the
proposal here:
http://wiki.centos.org/FrontPageProposal
Ralph already criticized that there is too much text and I tend to
agree. I would prefer to see an image instead and

Lua.c32 wiki page
Hi,
I have been experimenting a bit with lua.c32 and I have created a small
lua.c32 wiki page at:
http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Lua.c32
With my minimal knowledge about Lua (and the inconvenience of not being
able to copy&paste or edit scripts) I discovered that the dmi module has 2
functions (supported, gettable) and a syslinux module with 1 function
(run_command).

Searching the wiki
Hi,
If you type a keyword and press Enter in the search field on the wiki, it
does a title-search by default which is very limited.
I tried looking for information about atheros or madwifi and couldn't find
anything. Then I tried ipw2200 (I knew it existed because I created it)
and no results still. I had to ask Ralph to see if the index was old, only
to find out that there is a

Added Download page to wiki
Hi,
I have added a Download page to the wiki. Feel free to improve it (but
please do not make it more complex than it already is :-))
I would prefer to make it even more simple, but hate to have the
architecture-selection done by DirectoryIndex. Also the link behind each
architecture looks awful and may scare people away.
It would be much better to have a single link that automatically

Wiki external links
Hi,
I am personally not that fond of the little globe that precedes all the
external links in the Wiki. Often it disturbs in the reading of a
paragraph and whether a links is external or internal should not matter to
the user at all.
I even wonder how many newbies understand why the icon is shown at all.

Invalid SyntaxReference page in the wiki
Hi,
Something which bothered me a few times in the past, the SyntaxReference
link when you are editing a page points to: centoswiki/SyntaxReference
That page did not exist, luckily it suggested the real location:
SyntaxReference so it was not a real problem. But it may confuse other
people in the future.
So what I did for now was created the non-existing page and redirected it

MoinMoin TableOfContents
Hi,
I constantly find myself fighting the wiki syntax. Today the problem is
that I want a TableOfContents that does NOT include the page title.
To be honest, I do not understand why the page title (level 1) is included
in the TOC, and why it does not appear in the head-title (<head><title>).
I found with Google that there is a syntax like:
[[TableOfContents(4,2)]]

Access to /Books/

I noticed I was removed from the AdminGroup, which has as a consequence
that I am locked out of every page I created, even my own homepage :)

Improving the website and forums
Hi,
Something that is not helping us with Google is the prefix "www.centos.org - "
to every page of the website (including the forums).
It is annoying in the sense that it pushes the important keywords to the
end of the title and sometimes out of view of regular users (yes, Google
search resuls are trimmed).
As an example, seaching for "wireless site:www.centos.org"

Last character of the boot prompt gone missing ?
Hi,
I think I found a problem with syslinux where if you have an entry in the
syslinux config file (eg. linux) and you type some additional parameters
on the boot-prompt (eg. noacpi) the last character of the prompt is cut
off (and missing from /proc/cmdline).
This does not seem to happen for the append line in the config file, only
for additional parameters on the boot prompt. (I guess it

[artwork] Image for external links
Hi,
Can we use the same image for external links on the wiki as we are using
for Trac ? It is much less obtrusive in pieces of text.
A gray box with arrow instead of a colorful globe.

I am pleased to announce the first edition of the bi-weekly CentOS

This first issue centers around improving communication within the CentOS

Another attempt for a Team page
Hi all,
I've updated our Team page a bit, added a table for everyone already
there. Now I still don't like the fact that we have the distinction
between the Core members (whatever that means) and the others. Some have a
@centos.org email address, we could use that as a distinction ?
I do think we need to make that page exclusive to people that have some
sort of responsibility, and

Merging Documentation and Help pages
Hi,
Going over the wiki some more I noticed that the GettingHelp and
Documentation page contain the same type of information and could be
merged (and reduced) as well.
On the FrontPage it is called "Learn" (which I like) and
points to the Documentation page. On top it says "Help" and points to the
GettingHelp page.
I would prefer to keep the Documentation page (or rename

Thanks for replying Shao.I did follow ur suggestions and my results have

AW: CentOS 5 release for IBM z/Series?
Hi dag!
Thx for your reply!
So, there will be no release in the near future of centos 5 for Z?
At the moment we got a realy small z/linux installation, but i love it.
Keeping the TCO as low as we can was necessary to satisfy the
decision-maker.
So we decided to choos a free linux distribution, centos was a good decicion
