Hi all, when I was creating new wiki page yesterday I realized that we are completely missing some conception/structure in our wiki. A lot of tutorials mixed with various tips and tricks, examples, FAQ... I spent several minutes on wiki and I found a lot of really good stuff... A lot of good tips pretty hidden (not only) for newcomers. So maybe it is good time for some clean up and consolidation. My proposal is to divide documentation to few sections: - Guides and tutorials - Tips and Ticks - short tips like Checking of Therion "environment" - Code snippets (TeX, MetaPost) - Operating system (OS) related tips - installation, configuration etc. - Related stuff - tools, svg to th2 etc. and consolidate the rest = move pages into sections, split or merge some pages etc. Is there anybody willing to help with wiki maintenance? Another question is about bug tracker and IRC channel. I don't think it is used so is there any reason to keep links on main wiki page? As I am hosting whole project on my VPS we can have whatever we need - maybe some really simple bug tracker, VCS etc. hosted on speleo.skdomain. Any comments and suggestions are more than welcome. L.
You may have noticed I have been adding a lot of stuff over the last couple of years (much of it embarrassingly incomplete) and even a little bit of minor restructuring. Basically every time I learn something I stick it on there, as I figure that others may also be struggling with the same thing, or hopefully someone else will point out the error of my ways and correct it. Also been putting in links between similar information. I agree that the content could be categorized more rationally and similar pages grouped together. I won't promise to help much, as you will notice that I already have some unfinished pages. The bug tracker! I live in eternal hope that the items on the list will be actioned. I browse it occasionally to see if anything has moved, as I am building up a large list of things that are waiting for bug fixes or requested features. If I thought I could learn the skills in the time available I would tweak the therion code myself, but instead I will wait almost patiently :-) and dabble with metapost. Bruce
