I started to make a summary of 1.0.6 bugs and know work-arounds in the wiki, but I am uncertain about the best way to structure it.
There should be a central place for everyone who is using a certain version of Puppy to go, to find an organized summary of the most significant known bugs, how to cope with them, known patches, SP etc.
If someone is still using say version 1.0.4, they are not going to read through the whole 1000+ posts in the bug forum to try to find out what they should know!
Has someone already started this somewhere? It doesn't fit in that well with the way the Puppy106 page is laid out now.
There are also BugFixes and VersionsPuppy. Or starting something new. Not clear if it is better to try to include a number of versions on one wiki page, or a separate wiki page for each. Not clear if it is better to have JUST bug stuff on the page, or try to combine with other info about each release.
This just seems like kind of a core infrastructure design issue, that maybe I shouldn't be making ad hoc.
BUG/Versions summary in wiki?

What there should be and what there is are often two different things. A wiki page is the easiest to implement and updateThere should be a central place for everyone who is using a certain version of Puppy to go, to find an organized summary of the most significant known bugs, how to cope with them, known patches, SP etc.
- but what about the threads here, who will add those?
- what about the new PLDP (the documentation process)?
contact them if you wish to implement a process there . . .
There was an attempt to use a bug tracking system
and also there is a developers forum somewhere.
Ideas are easy - continued support and implementation is the hard thing I hope you are able to implement something.
One of the mistakes people make is creating an infrastructure and expecting people to start using it.
In reality you will have to implement and fill the content and keep reminding people. It would be a worthwhile achievement. The question is are you up for it?
Good Luck!
