If you haven't been there in a while, you will find that the Hardware Database is being integrated into the knowledge base.

Thanks YouCanToo, appreciate all your work done for this!!

Is there a specific area where we can discuss all matters relating to the new wiki.

Eddie,
      I am not aware of any specific area to discuss maters relating to the wiki itself.  You could just post your question(s) here or start a new thread about your matter or question.  I am always open to new ideas or ways to make the wiki more user friendly.

I would prefer to start a "Wiki Discussion" thread but I don't really see a suitable area. The only possible candidate would be in "General" unless someone else has a better idea.

Software Discussion section would be appropriate, I think.

Hmmmmm, I 've just realised there are "discussion" pages attached to each Wiki page, which is more the sort of thing I was looking for.

You are absolutely right that we need a section or method for discussing wiki pages/ideas. As Neal suggested above let us use the "Software discussion" section.

But let us label each thread that deals with wiki as "PCLinuxOS Wiki - mention the proper thread title here"
That way the wiki related threads stand out.

Also a single thread for discussing the whole wiki issues that run into 10-20 pages will become tiresome after a while and focus on individual topics within will be lost in the melee.

-SS.

[KernelKarter]

Yes, I agree but perhaps it might stand out a little better if "PCLinuxOS Wiki" was enclosed in square brackets, like this:

"[PCLinuxOS Wiki] Place the subject here"

Hi,
The wiki is actually under 2 different licenses which may not be compliant one to each other. The footer states:
Attribution 3.0 United States and the disclaimer page says:
http://www.pclinuxoshelp.com/index.php/PCLinuxOShelp_Knowledge_Base:General_disclaimer

Please note that all textual contents of PCLinuxOShelp Knowledge Base, unless they're not exclusively marked as public domain, are released under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL).

I noticed because the French community is being building a wiki too now, (http://wiki.pclinuxos-fr.org/doku.php) and we are being discussing about the diverse possible licenses. So noticing the double license on the knowledge base I thought I would point to it.

Regards,
Mélodie

Maybe is a good idea have a multilanguage versión of this page:
http://pclinuxoshelp.com/index.php/PCLinuxOS_KDE_2011.6_post_Installation_tips

And open a browser with that on the first boot after installation. This weekend i'll be able to translate it to spanish if you like.

Just a note for the wireless section. I have a netbook (System 76) with the Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E wireless card that never worked well (poor radio reception). I stopped using the box long enough to be totally out of maintenance. When I reloaded LXDE 2010.01 last weekend, lo and behold, now the wireless works flawlessly (always link level 100%). Prior to this I couldn't connect if the box was more than 10 feet away from my wireless source. Now it works anywhere in the house. The vendor only had a another distro solution for this problem <grin>. It looks like the kernel developers have finally caught up with the appropriate drivers for this card.
