Talk:Roadmap

From openSUSE

I made a Japanese Translation for this page. Would you add my Template:Roadmap_Translations to the original Roadmap page?

Questions

Which is the difference between the versions alpha and the versions beta ?

alpha = very early development snapshots (might be very unstable),

beta = basically feature complete version (much more stable)

What about the localized wikis (special the german on)? Is there any beginning? Can i help? May anyone answer this question, please?

Have a look at http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse/2005-Nov/0160.html

When installing a Beta - can I update to the stable version later?

It should be possible to update a beta. But this is not shure for all cases. For example: if the project switches to a new glibc, a new installation might be safer than trying to fix thousend packages. But you can use two separate partitions: one for the system and one for your data. So you normally have just to backup a small set of config files located in /etc. Another solution: bevore installing the new version, create an AutoYaST profile and let YaST store and restore your configuration automatically.

Someone with access should probably change "currently evaluated" to "currently being evaluated". Just better english :) --CuCullin 20:08, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Should probably be a good idea to keep the past roadmaps for history reason (for example in subpages, roadmap/2005, roadmap/2006, for example). Better then note the dates oldest first (bottom) and future up. jdd 15:16, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Every revision of them? ;-) --Beineri 20:35, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, please - it doesn't take that much space and can be helpful in several cases (for example: you see "fixed in beta1" in bugzilla and want to know when it was released). --Christian Boltz 14:05, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

please

• Please, remove all the pleases ;-)
• Use active voice; re-write the final sentence as follows:

Add a real roadmap

Add an actual roadmap for the openSUSE project and not just for the current release. It will give visitors information about upcoming releases. I currently do not know when the next version of openSUSE is planned and what the version number or code name will be :-)

--Vishal Rao Oct 17, 2007.

Fair remark. I guess the next version will take place "in the future" and the version number will be something > 10.3. Now someone please to tell us the codename. --Keichwa 16:08, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

What about a "rewrite" of the current roadmap page?

• Add the "global roadmap" from Vishalrao
• Add links to the project roadmaps
• Add links to the "roadmap archive"
