Re: Desktop wiki page refactoring

Hi Kirill

First: big thanks for your work! The new layout looks much clearer and  
better now!

maintained in the games repository, but should end up in our add-on  
repo/media.

broken since 10.3 - and obsoleted at least by khangman

in the distro

in the geograhy repository - but has many dependencies which just can  
be fullfilled with including nearly all packages from this repository.  
Needs to be rechecked.

in the distro

Note: packages which are already in the distribution (and even if they  
are just available via FTP) are not longer linked/aggregated into the  
Education buildservice repository - as this will increase the needed  
space and cost of build power without real benefits.
BUT:
+ the packages should be listed as they are really useful
+ packages missing on the official download DVDs (and therefore just  
available via FTP) should end on our add-on media to avoid that people  
need an online connection to install our recommended software. That's  
already the case for our 11.0 (and if I'm correct even 10.3) add-on.

Hu? ;-)

"Mind regulators" ;-)
KDissert, semantik and vym are Mind Mapping Tools, Ksociograma is a  
tool for social networking. Perhaps the first three fit more into the  
"Office" Category? The last one...??? Psychology?

On my way... ...if krish isn't faster ;-)

Yes, it should include it. And we should take care, that these  
packages are also listed in our patterns.
Perhaps we can add the official openSUSE logo behind packages, which  
are already in the official repository?
