Mass fix-up of insecure git repo URLs
The Wiki contains hundreds of URLs of git repos prefixed with git:// or http:// where the host has a perfectly good https:// certificate. Each time someone clones such a repo from a copy and pasted link, that's an opportunity for a MitM attack.
But thanks to centralized git hosting, it would be feasible to instantly fix most of these with a single regex search and replace across the entire Wiki:
(git|http)://(github\.com|gitorious\.org|git\.kernel\.org)/ -> https://\1/
And MediaWiki is able do that using the Replace Text extension: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Replace_Text
Namespaces
- Regarding the messy and loose structure you have you should really start thinking about Namespacing your content, i.e. by vendor or architecture. --Phoque
missing pages (top list)
- missing Project:Copyrights from link in statement on edit form
content fixes
Have, but maybe need simple list of items to fix (maybe this page is it)
- something someone can fix with 10 minutes or less time
- one possible suggestion, global page review - review a page, take it off the list
- something someone can fix with 10 minutes or less time
content building
- need to create a list of authored content
- need a template for professional papers
- need recent periodical content
- monthly feature is empty
- Do we want pages listing all kind of products (like here: Products). There are way too many products to list, so such a list is unwieldy and hardly to maintain.
- The same might hold for chips & vendors and maybe even for distributions.
- Although contributions are under GPL it would be nice if there was some form of attribution. http://www.nslu2-linux.org/ does that (imho) nicely (but they use PMwiki).
- http://www.elinux.org/Special:Wantedcategories seems to suggest that there are some categories that are never made and actually only have one or two pages. Guess this should be resolved as well.
