| + | '''10-4''' |
| + | |
| + | Question for ya, see this page [[B2evolution]] under maintainer there's an email link, is that ok? |
| + | Also the reason why I re added the sig was because I thought it was just the way I did it the first time that didn't sit well, the second time was the way I found it on another page, I'm looking for that page to show you also. I do agree with you though, the sig really isn't needed due to the history page. |
| + | |
| + | Also is the some standard template somewhere i.e. a Howto template? |

| + | :[[Zarafa]] is a contrib and therefore it has a maintainer. That is the reason that the contrib template has a Minatainer section. <small>— [[User:Cactus|Cactus]] ([[User talk:Cactus|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Cactus|contribs]]) </small> 11:50, 20 December 2008 (UTC) |

| + | |
| + | Not sure if you have it done already... |
| + | A howto create a "howto wiki page" with the basic format (minimum requirements and format to cover all/most the bases) of what's needed and do's and don'ts |
| + | Ditto for the contribs page. |
| + | Then everyone can just copy/paste that basic format and edit as desired...10-4. |
| + | Then somehow include a template revision so that pages using that format can be found easily and updated...10-4 |

| + | Yea like on the main page i.e. "Howto create a wiki Howto" then there's no excuse anyone not finding it. |
| + | Ditto for the contribs page. |
| + | :Yes, maybe put a link on the main page, right below the "Find help with reading and editing the Wiki". I would suggest to put the information on [[Category_talk:Howto]] like it is done for contribs on [[Category_talk:Contrib]].

| + | Hey sorry to be a pain in your butt, if you need help with anything just ask, with SME8 on it's way, I know things are going to get a little hectic so just ask. |
| + | BTW Just tested 8beta3 on two systems ide & scsi and both were upgrades to beta2 which had some issues. |
| + | 8beta3 was flawless install and yum update worked a treat. |
| + | Hardware was old and new. |
| + | So from what I see it's ready for prime time testing. |
