<noinclude> [[newslocation::Leoben]], [[newsdate::May 16,2010]]. </noinclude> The front page now has dynamic content that changes automagically <noinclude> The three types of additional content are: ;News Items: News that is sorted by the time it was inserted (News items are found at [[:Category:NewsItem]]) ;Events: Future events. These are inserted in textual form and as a timeline on the top the page (all events are found at [[:Category:Event]] ;The article of the hour: Every hour an article is drawn from this pool [[:Category:FeaturedArticle]] and a short abstract is displayed Articles can be quite easily added to one of these categories, but please: * make sure that the Category-tag is nested inside of <tt><noinclude></tt> * there is a short (one or two sentences) abstract at the start of the article and make sure it is the only part that will be shown in the summaries (by using <tt><noinclude></tt> or <tt><includeonly></tt> - have a look at [[Contrib_groovyBC]] and [[Local_User_Groups_/_Local_User_Group_Germany]] to see how they are used) * make sure that is relevant to the general public (if in doubt ask) * events will need additional tags (have a look at the source of [[OpenSource_CFD_Conference_2010]] * articles may belong to more than one of the category (usually an event is also a news item) Articles that do not conform to this will have the category-tag removed. This should enable the general public to add relevant content to the front page without * messing up the layout * going through one of the Wiki admins Due to technical reasons it is possible that articles do not appear immediately on the front page (this will take a couple of hours) but they will be immediately visible in the list of their categories The whole thing is based upon [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki Semantic MediaWiki]. If someone has an idea how to use this to improve other parts of the Wiki: go ahead [[Category:NewsItem]] </noinclude> --[[User:Bgschaid|Bgschaid]] 11:55, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
