Quote | It is oouser.tar.gz, not ootar.gz |
That's not really a misspelling or a typo. It was written in the early days of UCI, when there were also *.ci extensions that did not include the user.tar.gz file. The file was a separate tar.gz mydsl package. The 'oo' in this case stands for Open Office, because it was the user.tar.gz for the Open Office extension.
That's not to say that this article does not need some work...just explaining the filename =o) With roberts permission I can make that a bit more clear, and also the bit about the cloop limit (maybe specify which versions of DSL have what number of cloops, if i can recall)
EDIT: here are a couple of suggestions about things I can't change myself:
Category:MyDSL should be a subcategory of Documentation.
The main page should be modified to list "Documentation" as a main link rather than its current status of being what appears to be a static header. I know it's not static, but it appears that way. Tables of contents have always been set up, and with good reason, with main categories being most prominent and subcategories being recognizable as subcategories. Take the numerous How-to pages available for example. They are uniform, with a main category as a prominent clickable link and its subcategories slightly less prominent. In this way there is no question that going to the "Documentation" link will also show each Documentation subcategory below. If the Wiki main page is to keep its current layout, then every Documentation subcategory should be listed in the box labeled "Documentation" so the reader does not have to go in circles to find what he's looking for.
EDIT2: I found the message concerning what not to put in the wiki to be a little extreme, and I don't plan to follow it more than loosely. Including general linux information in the DSL wiki is vital for a new user, particularly when the distribution itself has no room for the general linux docs that are commonly found in other distros.
