Installing on Spitz

I've written documentation on installing on Spitz/SL-C3000.

Add "about OpenZaurus"

Copy/migrate this content:

http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/about/

The first thing I want to see when I visit a website/wiki/whatever is the answer to "what is this place?"

The history could be kept in another page, but a quick "what is it, what's it for, what is this place" type of note would be nice.

Also answer questions like.. Why OpenZaurus and not just GPE or Opie directly? would be nice to get answered.

Fix rewriting

Rewriting isn't working perfectly. An all-number title like 3.5.4.1 cannot be viewed directly. In the meantime I'll begin making an infrastructure like v3.5.4.1

Hmm, nevermind. 3.5.4.1 is IP-style and with newer versions of mediawiki it'll search for user contributions at that IP.

Edit /.htaccess 

php_flag register_globals off
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# MODIFIED RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]
This is a much better technique than the old way (which I got off the MediaWiki wiki) of looking for a file extension. Change made. Thanks Sy. -- Bronson 17:40, 17 June 2006 (BST)

Enable subpages 

# Enable subpages in the main namespace:
$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[0] = true;

This will allow sandbox and then visit that page and make /test which will automatically make sandbox/test. This is VERY useful for keeping things organized, especially release notes and discussion.

I never knew this option existed. Again Sy, thanks. -- Bronson 17:40, 17 June 2006 (BST)

Add a roadmap link to the main page

I learned a ton of stuff from reading this post: http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20445&view=findpost&p=134793

Might I suggest a "Roadmap" or "Release Roadmap" wiki page containing the contents of that post. Then place a prominent link to it on the main wiki page and it will become much easier for non-devs to understand OZ. 

 I cannot get to that URL now, but the RoadMap link is there.  Can this be removed? --Laibsch 12:15, 3 February 2007 (CET)

Reverted spam

I reverted the spam on this page. I encourage the local admins to block spamming IPs and consider moving discussion to another page so this one may be locked. --Short Circuit

Unfortunately the spam almost never comes from the same IP. Protecting the most-abused pages seems to help. Given that the content on this wiki has become almost totally static lately, I wonder if it's time to require user accounts...? -- bronson
