Hi Jon, Nice work! . I think as all these pages belong to one title "SoftwareEquivalents", it's better to have each section as a wiki sub-page... I added some more software to Internet page and would like to start an Office page, let me know if you agree with creating sub-pages...

The technical process makes sense to me (I did a couple simple pages last night), but I have a question that is more content related. Should the SoftwareEquivalents page and it's branches be ported even though they are on the CategoryDocumentation list? <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareEquivalents">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareEquivalents</a> That page has the following branches populated to a varying degree with information - SoftwareEquivalentsBusiness (1 item) SoftwareEquivalentsCAD (3 items) SoftwareEquivalentsElectronic (really a list of specialized Linux CAD applications without Windows equivalents) SoftwareEquivalentsInternet (7 lines, most items mentioned in other parts of the community wiki) SoftwareEquivalentsMisc (1 item with an existing dedicated community wiki page) SoftwareEquivalentsMultimedia (3 items with a very well built, dedicated community wiki page) My concern is for duplication of information and confusing of end users. I'm leaning towards "yes, we should port the pages not in their current format". I think the main Software Equivalents page could remain as it does have value for new to Linux users understanding what new applications they can use to solve current needs. But I think the page should be made more of a jumping point to existing wiki pages such as <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications</a> and create new pages for things like the CAD software. I think this could be more productive than listing of one for one "old application vs new application and fit better into the community wiki style and format. I wanted to get feedback/direction/ideas from the team before proceding. All polite feedback is appreciated, flames cheerfully ignored. :) Thanks, - Jon "MontanaMax" Pruett _________________________________________________________ -| There is serenity in Chaos. -| Seek ye the Eye of the Hurricane. -| Montana Max - Illegitimi non carborundum! _________________________________________________________ -- ubuntu-doc mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-doc@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-doc@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc </a> </blockquote></div> -- ******************************************************** Yours Sincerely, Mehdi Hassanpour ---------------------------------------------------------------------- /* Of one Essence is the human race, Thusly has Creation put the Base; One Limb impacted is sufficient, For all Others to feel the Mace. ~Saadi (persian poet) -1258 */ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- <a href="http://ImPersian.com">http://ImPersian.com</a> | <a href="http://Hezardastan.org">http://Hezardastan.org</a> ********************************************************
