ssami'd like to clean up the powerpc information on the wiki. what is the best way to organise it? should i have a PowerPC page that links to things like PowerPC/FAQ PowerPC/Downloads PowerPC/Installation etc?11:32
mdke_ssam: sometimes we use subpages, but not for whole architectures11:43
mdke_for topics like installation, we do it - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/PowerPC11:44
ssamso should there just be lots pages with names like PowerPCFAQ11:45
mdke_no, I think that would be a bad idea11:45
mdke_you should try and integrate material with the existing material on topics; for example if there is a topic which has specific powerpc related issues, you could make a subpage (as with Installation) or include a note in the main page11:46
mdke_have a look at the homepage to see how things are organised11:46
ssambut there are quite a lot of powerpc specific issues, especially now that its a community port11:47
mdke_sure. It's the same with amd6411:47
ssamit would be nice to have somewhere to point people to show that ubuntu on powerpc still exists11:47
mdke_you could create a page simply called "PowerPC" and include some basic information about the architecture and links with pointers to other helpful material11:48
ssamthe main ubuntu web site does not give any clue where to find downloads of powerpc for example11:48
mdke_that's a bug11:49
ssamits been reported11:49
mdke_yes, that's what I mean11:49
ssamok, i'll do a PowerPC page11:50
mdke_as for downloading, it's mentioned on this page - maybe you can point to that. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ProcessorArch11:51
mdke_(that page is linked from the front page)11:51
ssamalso the PowerPCFAQ is a bit of a mess. i think it should have less information on it, and be more a collection of links to useful information, does that sound sensible11:52
mdke_yes, absolutely sensible. I'm not a fan of FAQs at all, in fact11:52
ssamthank you for your advise11:54
mdke_thanks for contributing :)11:54
