#3072: Update wiki pages about admin.fp.o and Fedora Services

= phenomenon =
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/ redirects to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/IndexAdmin which is supposed to contain
Fedora Infrastructure pieces, but
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Services has the same job.
Also there are lots of services not listed in services pages.
= implementation recommendation =
Move "Officers" and "Donations" to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure.
Redirect admin.fp.o to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Services and add the
services below to services page:
group A, actual services: accounts, mailman, community, voting, pkgdb,
pkgs, raffle, bodhi, koji, ask, wiki. (anything else?)
group B, monitoring/infrastructure around them: nagios/nagios-external,
pager, fingerprints, collectd, awstats, mirrormanager, smolt, puppet.
(anything else?)
Also explain the role of admin.fp.o/ca/* and admin.fp.o/ssh_known_hosts
somewhere.
P.S: perhaps we should distinct fedora maintained services, like FAS, from
those that we just use, like nagios. Also we can divide them into web
services and others, like smolt.
I'm quite sure there is a better way, any idea?

= phenomenon =
I cannot view this diff for EPEL/FAQ on a 1280x1024 screen, because the
horizontal scrollbar is missing:
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=EPEL%2FFAQ&diff=154347&oldid=...
= reason =
The CSS is configured to not show the horzintal scroll bar. This was also
reported in ticket:1438, but there it was about a wiki page not being
displayed properly. Instead of fixing the root of the problem, the page
was adjusted to display the content. I guess this is not possible for the
diff, therefore I open a new bug report.
= recommendation =
Maybe the CSS for diffs could be changed to show a horizontal scrollbar
somehow. Ideally the design of the whole page would be reworked to
eventually display all contents properly.

[Fedora Infrastructure] #1774: Fedora Wiki's stylesheet is screwey on small screen high DPI devices

#1774: Fedora Wiki's stylesheet is screwey on small screen high DPI devices

= phenomenon =
Multiple issues here: Tables go beyond the page but the page isn't told
about being wider than the screen, so horizontal scrolling is not
possible. Embedded pictures and headers aren't formatted properly so text
can flow around it, even in extreme situations. The sidebar takes up too
much space at high DPIs leaving only half the page for the body.
In the above order:

http://ynemoy.fedorapeople.org/wikixofail/IMAG0014.jpg
http://ynemoy.fedorapeople.org/wikixofail/IMAG0015.jpg
Resizing the text and page zoom fixes some problems, but my opinion is
that this is non obvious to many people.
http://ynemoy.fedorapeople.org/wikixofail/IMAG0017.jpg
= reason =
I'm not much of a CSS guy, but i have a few ideas. First of all, the
sidebar is strictly set to a hard size in relation to the rest of the
page. Second of all, horizontal scrolling is (and rightly so) disabled at
all costs. Third of all, something is not set properly when formatting
embedded inline pictures, so that the sidebar can wrap around it, or so
that it's left justified instead of right justified so it runs off the
page rather than running into the sidebar.
= recommendation =
Wikipedia has a pretty decent mobile interface that works very nicely on
the Android devices, and presumably on others as well. It avoids using a
sidebar and TOC by replacing it with expandable fields. I think that at
least having that stylesheet available would be a start. The tricky part
is detecting the actual dimensions *and* DPI of a screen and switching to
the appropriate stylesheet. In this particular example, the screenshots
were taken on an XO using mostly stock settings and Firefox.
Another and more costly and time consuming solution is to redesign the
page more comprehensively so that it is a general purpose page for both
mobile, small screen, and normal devices.

Linking to cloud images
by Max Spevack
Proposed diff to get-fedora, if someone would be kind enough to check it
in. Simply adding a line under the "other options" for cloud images.
I purposefully called it "Clouds:" to match the way "Formats",
"Desktops", and "Spins" were written.
I also renamed the wiki page to "Cloud images" (with redirects
working) so that it is vendor neutral, and so that eventually the list
of supported clouds can grow.
However, I still see this as a short-term fix. Something we'll have to
do in the future -- but probably post F16 since things are pretty locked
down now -- is to create /get-fedora-options#clouds and to make it look
like the other links in this list.
But for now, a one line patch to take advantage of the fact that F16 is
EC2-ready on release day.
<li><a href="/en/get-fedora-options#formats">Formats</a>: DVD
ISOs, Physical Media</li>
<li><a href="/en/get-fedora-options#desktops">Desktops</a>:
KDE, Xfce, GNOME, and others</li>
<li><a href="/en/get-fedora-options#spins">Spins</a>:
Electronics Lab, Education, and others</li>
+ <li><a
href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_images">Clouds</a>: EC2</li>
</ul>
Thoughts?
