Title: Wiki
Post by: timryder on November 10, 2017, 07:19:51 AM

Archie,

There's a lot missing on the Wiki which some users like Phrog and Myself would be happy to contribute to when we get time. But I can't seem to make an account and my login for this doesn't work.
Can you either A fix it so people can make an account or B add a thread where we can request to have you make an account for us.
Unless of course you don't want public contributions to the pages but then why would it be a Wiki :)

Thanks

The wiki format for documentation was created specifically to allow user contribution. I was not aware that no one else could log into it. Currently it would require a separate account from the one used here, but I will see if I can get it to use the same account as used on the forum.

I was at least was able to enable account creation on the wiki. There will now be a link in the upper right for creating a new account only for the wiki. I will continue investigating how to link the forum account to the wiki.

Archie, this sounds great. As for user contribution, I think is better if all the content is verified before being posted. Not trying to increase your work load, you already have lots, but non-revised content can become messy or even spam could be filtered in.

IMHO.

I agree.  I think it's better to have verified info posted.

Moderators maybe?

If the Wiki control allows for moderators yes.  Otherwise for now let's get some content going for this guy! He's done a LOT of hard work and he needs a break.

I'm in. I would like to have code snippets and examples. I can start gathering the info and then post later.

Also Archie,

You should probably link the WiKi on your main site because it's nowhere to be found on there.
Actually... I can't even find it anymore.  Where the heck is it?  Can someone link me?
