really allow us to track the Spins with (for example) categories such as
Category:Incomplete_Spins, Category:Spins_Ready_For_SIG, etc. Then for a
given release, say 11, we'd want accepted spins to be aggregated into
some kind of page we do not have to update ourselves, since we're
already doing the categorization and changes. However, this just
reflects how we think about it now, if there's any other ideas of how to
automate more of this in a different manner... ;-)
Well you can track them with the categories themselves. I'm not exactly
sure what you're saying/asking here.
Anyway, the other question we have is concerning recurring releases;
say
/XFCE_Spin has been accepted for Fedora 11, and is added to category
Spins_F11, we wouldn't want the F11 version of the page to be changed,
and we would want it to be retrievable, too. However, if we create
separate pages; XFCE_Spin_F11, XFCE_Spin_F12, there's no way to tell
whether this spin has gone through the process before except for a
manual search on the Wiki visiting each page and tracking down whether
it has gone through the process properly.
Bearing in mind that Spin SIG approval only happens once, and Board
trademark approval only happens once, these recurring releases would
gain with not having to create release-specific Spins pages.
I would say do it the XFCE_Spin way, then. And you can link to a
specific revision if you want (go to the history page, it's the link on
the timestamp that will show you that revision)
Again, I'm open to suggestions but here's what we came up
with thusfar.
If XFCE_Spin is accepted for Fedora 11, we add the page to
Category:Spins_F11, and once Fedora 11 is released, we add it to
Category:Incomplete_Spins as well. Noted, we add a link on the top of
the XFCE_Spin page linking to the release specific revision of that
page, so that it's release-specific version of the Spins page is
retrievable.
Perfect.
