Our new Main page of wiki

Mon May 5 20:52:59 CEST 2008

Thanks Brenda,

I spent too many years teaching writing, so I had a small advantage.  WRT
the sentence below Join Openmoko development.

I’ll go back and look at that. Generally, if it’s not necessary I cut it.

I removed the Dev Board QT2410, because it was my impression that it was out
of date and not critical. I could be wrong

on that, if people scream, then adjust.

Ideally I would like to see three branches

1. A product branch that forks to all past and future products.

2. A developer branch that forks to all matters software.

3. A community branch that forks to community issues, like projects, blogs,
wiki instructions, buying lists, etc

There is also some duplication in the various links that needs cleaning up

Dear Steve:
I notice that you edited the Main page of wiki.
The wording is better then me. I like it.
Thank you for doing this.
But I don't understand why you took off the sentence  below "Join Openmoko
development"?
And development  board--QT2410?
Can you tell me why?

Actually , I know that our main page is too long. I would like to make whole
wiki site become  short and organized.
But technically , I can't solve that problem in a very short time.
I just used the Google Analytic to find out the most popular page , then I
use the box, put the link all together.
Use the aggressive color and put the categories page on side bar, to make
pages easy to find.
I also use the Google Analytic to find out the most popular browser, use the
right tag, make sure most of them can use wiki more easily.
I got a lot of feedback here.

And now ,  Gismo is helping us to upgrade our wiki system.
After wiki system had been upgraded , I would start to work on server site.
For example , I would like to change the wiki skin. And page structure.
 I think I would need technical support. And I will ask anyone who can help
me.
Anyway, the real meaning of Wiki is collaboration.
Thank for you help , and hope you can understand what I am doing now.

Brenda

And I like it. :-)

indeed - it's not bad. no complaints. just observation. :) we all have got
lots
of things to do... :)

Yes, It is a bit long. And it always has been. Brenda is working the
Structure of the site ( like Edward scissorshand trimming kudzu) and I

told

wolfgang I would do my marketing thing on the front page. I will of course
make some suggestions on organization and structure ( you know me raster )
but for now, I will let it rest, as I have other matters to attend to.
The current structure is rhapsodic and so is not easily maintained,
especially as new products come out. So, I'll share some thoughts later.

Laconically yours,
Steve

seems ok to me, though a little long :) but that's how it has been for a
while. :)

In any case I did a quick copy edit of the front page. Have a look, I

will

probably polish it some more later on and add some of my writing from

the

.com.

PS, Raster is right.

I think it's a little ridiculous to leave it when at least she takes

the

initiative to do something. Sure - Brenda does not speak English as a

native

language. You are free to fix it up with your perfect English

intuition.

It
is

a wiki after all. Perhaps she might help you with your good, yet not

so

perfect

chinese? :)

Seriously. I have learnt several languages. I know how hard it is to

speak

a

foreign language. It is damned hard. It's even harder when the

language

is

of

a completely different language school (i.e. European vs. Asian

languages).
The

fact that someone can communicate as well as Brenda can, in a foreign

language,

is simply amazing. It is a mountain of work. Everyone should be as

supportive as

possible. It is no easy task. The fact that English is just the

de-facto

one

for Open source, should not mean it has to be perfect and written by

natives.

If it can be understood then it has done a great job already. I clap

my

hands

for Brenda and say "keep going" and thumbs up for making such a good

job

of
it!

???!

:)

ACK!
The new wiki-mainpage is way better than what it was before.
Thanks Brenda! :-)
