Amarok: move relevant pages from the old wiki to the new wiki

completed by: Mayank Madan

mentors: Myriam Schweingruber

Amarok long had it's own server and recently decided to move to the KDE infrastructure. This also mean moving all existing and relevant documentation to the KDE wiki. While this is already done for the handbook and user relevant pages, there is still much to move to the http://community.kde.org/Amarok/ location.

The old wiki location is currently blocked for new user accounts so the student will have to copy the content and paste it with a good mediawiki formatting in a subpage of the new location.

Old wiki location: http://amarok.community.kde.org

A lot of the content in the old location will only be kept for archive purposes, so only pages relevant to the current Amarok 2.x series should be moved for now. Please look at the "Special pages" section in that wiki to find the existing pages.

New target location: http://community.kde.org/Amarok/

There already is a new landing page with 6 different sections:

http://community.kde.org/Amarok/GettingStarted Informations needed to get Amarok installed for the end user. All pages in this section should have the tags [[Category:Amarok]] and [[Category:GettingStarted]]

http://community.kde.org/Amarok/Community Amarok developer and user contributed content, events, blog links, etc. All pages in this section should have the tags  [[Category:Amarok]] and [[Category:Community]]

User Guides, redirecting to http://userbase.kde.org/Amarok/Manual

http://community.kde.org/Amarok/Development All content relveant to current Amarok development. All pages in this section should have the tags  [[Category:Amarok]] and [[Category:Development]]

http://community.kde.org/Amarok/Proposals, currently redirecting to the old wiki location http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Proposals. Developer and user contributed proposals. All pages in this section should have the tags  [[Category:Amarok]] and [[Category:Proposals]]

http://community.kde.org/Amarok/Archives All pages regarding Amarok 1.x should go here and be linked to from there. These pages should have the tags [[Category:Amarok]] and [[Category:Archives]]

The student needs to make new sub-pages in these sections to organize the content, as well as link these new subpages in the relevant sections.

It is possible that the old wiki contains spam pages, these should not be moved, of course, but a link should be provided in the upload document so the page can be erased.

Prerequisites:

A recent Amarok 2.6 or git version to be able to identify relevant content and update it if necessary to reflect the latest version

Mediawiki editing knowledge, logic thinking, able to create a hierarchic documentation structure. User account on http://community.kde.org

Task completion:

A document listing and linking the old and new URLs, with details of eventual updates in the content, uploaded in the *.ods spreadsheet format. "20 pages should be moved and documented.
