#76: Use two methods to specify install source --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rhe | Owner: rhe Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 14 Component: Wiki | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Comment (by rhe): Replying to [comment:7 jlaska]: > Replying to [comment:6 rhe]: > <skip> > With regards to the table display format, I can't think of any immediate benefits using the different approaches. There is only so much we can do with wiki tables, right? Out of curiousity, I copied your draft and created 2 new pages to help me visualize how this might look under different approaches: > 1. Using a table for each variation -- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jlaska/Draft The advantage of this way is that the number of matrices are less than that in my method, and the division is very clear and comfortable: boot, DVD, CD, live, pxe and variations.[[BR]] But consider if a general tester just finished a whole installation say by boot.iso, it is convenient for him to only edit boot.iso matrix or at least know where to add all the results directly from that matrix. That's why I added entries like [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Rhe/Validation_Test_Results_Test_Matrices#Partition partitioning] and [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Rhe/Validation_Test_Results_Test_Matrices#Variations variations] in the boot.iso matrix, though it's not a good way for displaying. Also, I think the 'variations' part contains too much so that most of the time testers have to contribute in this matrix. > 2. Using a single table, with variation column -- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jlaska/Draft3 -- note, I also removed the References column here. I'm curious if that helps us avoid duplicate <ref> tags in future wikis. It's similar to the method above but to integrate them into one table. I think it's cool.:) but some cases like [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Mediakit_ISO_Size QA:Testcase_Mediakit_ISO_Size] shown many times in one table seem a little bit weird, especially when one sorts the cases by column .:) [[BR]] I like the way you changed 'reference' part, very creative.:) I added some results on [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jlaska/Draft your draft], and you can see that reference 1 and 2 are the same using the key format. I think it's better if these two can be combined into one reference like reference 3. [[BR]] I'll continue thinking about other approaches of this grouping idea. Anyone please feels free for advice.
