 * Anything in the Todo category, but especially Open discussions in the Handbook namespace.

Resolve PPC bootloader installation instructions
Handbook probably needs to be migrated from yaboot to GRUB2. See discussion on Handbook_Talk:PPC/Installation/Bootloader.

Finish new Gentoo wallpapers

 * Add new wallpapers to www.g.o.
 * Work on getting a resize script for common supported display resolutions.
 * Consider mobile device resolutions.
 * Upload wallpapers sources (with attribution) to Gentoo's GitHub and gitweb.g.o.
 * Finish imagemagick resize script for end user reproducability.
 * See this tutorial for possible options.
 * Pseudo-code from Robin:

Terminology update: Overlay -> ebuild repository
Figure out how to address the following articles (man pages will also need updated):

Layman references:


 * PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable.
 * command.

Add new recentchanges bot to #gentoo-wiki
Investigate: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/EventStreams

Right now I'm researching mw-bot (source).

Code for a similar recentchanges output:

Waiting on a response to issue 62 to add a new wiki to the bot's command.

GPG fingerprints for user infoboxes
Wiki users should have a uniform way of sharing their GPG fingerprints. Developers have this done automatically on www.g.o from LDAP information. User's have no such process.

Created the following properties:


 * Property:GPG fingerprint
 * Property:Has GPG fingerprint

shortname for projects
requested projects use a "shortname" attribute in. I created a sandbox to test adding this attribute. He wanted it to inherit the mail alias (if one exists and it's possible).

Created the following properties:


 * Property:Project shortname
 * Property:Has project shortname

Close all open discussions in the Handbook namespace
As I continue to clean up our docs in 2017, I am rapidly working to close out all open discussions in the Handbook namespace. Will move this section to Completed tasks when finished.

Merge accounts

 * User:Mjeveritt (old|confirmed) with User:Veremit (new|confirmed).
 * User:Aliceinwire (old|confirmed) with User:Alicef (new|confirmed).
 * User:Jonasstein (old|confirmed) with User:Jstein (new|UNCONFIRMED).
 * User:Tar into User:Thinrope (see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Topic:Triejh4ph4baedvu)

Someone please work on these. Someone. ANYONE?! PLEASE!!

 * GitLab - Clean up article: meld it into proper article layout/formatting according to wiki Guidelines, review for correctness.
 * Work on bringing GitLab to Gentoo. This would be of use to infra as a GitHub fall back (since GitHub isn't nicely open source).
 * Start with a Gentoo-based container (if necessary), and build from there.
