Hi all, Could gnomesupport.org's wiki get a bit more visibility from w.g.o? A link to it in the “What is GNOME?” box would do, I guess. Also, uniformising a bit the links under the header of various GNOME sites might work: you can get to gs.o from w.gd.o's, for example. The wiki could be a useful way to put all sorts of small details that hit users (and those who are not really end users: people that want to build from source and such oddities) There are various pages which have interesting/useful information, a few FAQs, &c. Of course, and as one can easily check, a significant part of that is dated or, in cases, wrong, but... well, it's a wiki. It needs lots of editing and much more content, but all sites do. I plan to do some of this. For one thing, I have decided to have people whose problems I solve on irc go and add a Q&A somewhere—I'll tell them where, I guess, to minimise chaos; in each case I've tested this, the involuntary volunteers seemed in fact to love it: they reasonably see it as “helping the community”. The biggest problem, though, is that no one really knows about the site's existence. Linking from such a high profile page as w.g.o to the rather unpolished gs.o is suboptimal, but giving gs.o visibility might in fact raise the chances of it getting better. So it might be amortized with time. Discuss amongst yourselves now. -- m -- Mariano Suárez-Alvarez <mariano gnome org>
