Subject: Reorganizing Topics
I tried to reorganize the stuff I submitted over to the GPL/Compile
Install Notes because it seemed like it was a better fit over in that
category, however, I'm not sure I put the right headers (for lack of
better term) for Nuwiki to throw it over there.  Can you see what I'm
talking about, or did it go to the right spot?

You did great! That's what I am talking about.

As to those "headers", well, I may have been a tad compulsive about
them, but at least I was consistantly compulsive throughout the items I
touched. =)

My idea was to leave a "breadcrumb" link *back* to the topic / menu /
category the article came from. Clearly, this technique breaks down if
one could enter a topic from multiple topics, but I figured that would
be the exception and not the rule.

Nice job at starting new categories and populating them, John, and
thanks very much for the new content.

Best,

j.

Hmmm, I think I'm missing the syntax of how to put things where I want
them to go.

There were some blank categories that I was trying to populate.  For
example:

I was trying to put the following things into the category GPL
Install/Compile Notes.
-Sample Red Hat Init Script
-Sample Gentoo Init Script
-Install Reference
-A thing about Xinetd and QM

I used the following sytax to try and move them...

==[[CATEGORY:QM:GPL|QM:GPL]]==

===Xinetd and Open QM===

For some reason though, they seem to be stuck in Learning QM.  Thanks
for your help.

Using my "breadcrumb" syntax of:

==[[CATEGORY:QM:GPL|QM:GPL]]==

Doesn't say where things *go*.

It says where they *came from*.

It's a link *back* to its "category". So the category topic doesn't
know about your new topics until you tell it.

I easily fixed this by

1) finding your specific topic
2) highlighting the topic name (item-id) and putting it into the
clipboard
3) clicking on the convenient breadcrumb you left for me, in this case
the link to CATEGORY:QM:GPL
4) and there I pasted in your topic, as a local link. To dress it up a
little bit, I put in a linktag for each so they would not be all upper
case characters.

If you want your links to these "gone" from the Learning QM topic
(CATEGORY:QM:LEARNING), you'd simply edit that topic and remove the
references. I'll leave that to you to decide.

As a side note, this whole "category" thing was my own idea, in an
attempt to help people find stuff if they didn't know what to search
for. I see no similar feature in Wikipedia, and hope that my decision
and implementation wasn't too arcane.

Thanks again for all your good work, John.

Best,

j.
