Ideas/Criticism on this wiki
- file uploads on this wiki must be possible, or at least image embedding - like all editing, available to logged in users
- let us not make tons of translations - with the Translate extension, translations are easily maintained, and Special:myLanguage makes them transparently available
- after reading http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL, how did you accomplish the short URL and is this sustainable?
- I would like to have boxes around
pre-tagged content
- Use the templates {{Input|1=}} and {{Output|1=}} in preference to <pre>
as on http://www.staerk.de/thorsten/index.php/C_Programming_Tutorial#First_program
- the pre-tagged text should be able to expand to a higher width than the KDE logo graphic - Using the templates, the full width of the page is available
- pre-tagged content should scale, but does not as this example shows:
on a large-enough screen you should be able to see this line without scrolling, but you are not. - Make sure you are using the Chihuahua theme - I can see it all
- openID sux - here is my URL: https://me.yahoo.com/a/eDGmfvsJlPJwqjOdB7tS5cWPgZg-
- I like to see directly under a page how often it has been read. This is default for mediawiki. - both this and the latest revision date are now shown annew 13:49, 17 September 2010 (CEST)

Here are articles that I want to write.
AutoStart
Quieten a computer
You work in an office with colleagues and you do not want to disturb them with your computer making sound. You want to quieten your computer
controlling a cluster
You have a cluster of 16 servers and want to send commands to all servers at once? Not a problem with KDE 3.5. Use konsole and open 16 tabs, log in to each server on a special tab. Use one tab to send input to all tabs (right-click onto the tab -> send input to all sessions).
Problems I found:
- sometimes you forget that you are sending the input to all servers, this can lead to unpredictable behavior :(
- sometimes you change tabs and forget you have done this :(
- it is tedious to open 16 tabs and log in on every one to a dedicated server
- automated login via dcop does not work with KDE 4
- the "tab" key on your keyboard for auto-completion may display different results on different servers
- the cursor keys on your keyboard for command-repetition may display different results on different servers
- forgetting to end the "send input to all sessions" mode may lead to unpredictable behavior
- the commands may need different time to return on different hosts (especially downloading; if 16 servers download at the same time, the network delivers unpredictable response times)
- you will not see if the sessions answer differently (e.g. error on only one server)
- if you detach a tab, the input will continue to be sent there
KDE Questions
- I have 3 soundcards at the moment: my webcam, my headset and my "normal" soundcard. How can I tell kmix to use one specifc?
