Salix MATE related docs suggestions
Posted: 11. May 2012, 14:16
The following are suggestions for Salix Team and/or MATE DE Team to improve some documentation and links.
Salix, in relation to MATE DE (installation ISOs; no final LIVE for now), should be added in several locations. Whoever has the knowledge and necessary accounts or contacts so to achieve the changes / additions, Salix should be added to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATE_(desk ... )#Adoption
http://planet.mate-desktop.org/ Or contact stefano-k, who also has an account here in Salix forum.
http://mate-desktop.org/about/ "Which distributions provide MATE?" and "Which distributions is MATE packaged for?" to add both the Salix repository and the download pages for the Salix MATE ISOs.
http://mate-desktop.org/support/ "We have also official threads in distribution forums" so to add the MATE packages topic of the Salix forum.
http://forums.mate-desktop.org/viewforum.php?f=18 A new "announcement-like" topic about the final stable ISOs could be posted there, just for general info.
Also, the Salix wiki pages should be updated to include MATE.
For example, down the Salix home page, the Basic software selection installation mentions "lightweight" Xfce and other DE, where MATE should be added. There may be additional places in the Salix wiki where MATE should be mentioned too.
And just as there are FAQs to add KDE or LXDE, there should be also one for "How to add MATE DE" (or maybe as an alternative, unify those FAQ pages as "How to add additional DE" and add the MATE variant).
Hopefully this could help improve the respective documentation.
TIA.
