The purpose is to have a website for the LinuxVillage members who want to post articles. And indeed the presentation of masters is a good idea, as it allows having a fixed place easy to find and to point to for each one.

Do you mean articles like the one on bitcoin?


--- Citation de: mélodie le 26 juin 2013 à 02:49:13 ---Have you read the "About" page in the English side?

Yes, I have. I'll summarise:

(a) Our goal is to demystify the use of GNU/Linux and to help you in getting the hang of your operating system.
(b) We also want to promote rolling releases, the ones which don’t need to be reinstalled on a regular basis when new upgrades are available every year or twice a year.
(c) Another goal is to foster a dynamic in contributing to free software: report bugs upstream to developers, get involved in translating, and maybe guide the ones who want to go further and create their own remixed distro when the tools are shipped with to allow it.
(d) To sum up, we want to offer some mutual aid (information, documentation, community services) to beginners as well as to advanced users ...

And, I'm still confused as to the purpose. The description sounds like a wiki. Except, I guess, there's no collaboration. That is, I can't edit Taco.22's content, and he can't edit mine. Right?

Okay, there is no wiki yet. What should be put on the "subsite" that shouldn't be in the forums or in the wiki? The forum already has a section for announcing remasters and sections for help.

I would be very happy to see our different remixes presented on nice posts on the main site. Most distributions have a website, a forum, a wiki and a planet.

There are two persons who are currently creating a new webspace where I have been invited to make our linuxvillage join: we would have some space on their new server, besides the crunchbang-fr community. We will probably start there with a Mediawiki. We were about to start using a Dokuwiki, but I am not frankly decided about it, again because of some spambot problems, and the Dokuwiki community who has no reaction on their forum when I was asking for solutions to a specific spam problem.

At the crunchbang-fr place we will be adding the rss feed from linuxvillage.org to their planet. Each remix presented there will be highlighted.

I know our website as a whole is not well integrated visually, however I think we might benefit of other people's knowledge for that aspect at some time in the future.

And yes, you can talk about bitcoins if you want to. That might fit in categories such as "society, internet, economics", that kind of thing. :)

If you both have enough privilege to do so, you can. If you have privilege to do so AND want the rest of the team to overview your writing before publishing, you can : all it takes is saving the text as a draft, or "to be reviewed" (I don't know yet the exact word in English for that, I have always used Wordpress with an admin board in French so far). Anyhow there are multiple possibilities, the ones I just described being available at the right side of the editor field, with a drop down menu.

I just remembered keycaptcha exists also for Wordpress. I installed it to linuxvillage website and configured it for the two websites. Registrations are opened again so it might make it easier to have real people participating to it from now on.

melodie:
I checked the page to register on the sub site in English : it redirects to the French registering page, and it seems I can't to anything to prevent it. I have posted at the French Wordpress forum to try to get help and see if a solution is possible.
