Suggestions for wiki/wikka improvement

#1 Post by kethd »

We don't seem to have an agreed central place for discussing the Puppy wiki... so, maybe this thread can be one. (Maybe it should be made sticky?)

Anyway, just wanted to mention that just now, I was able to edit the wiki, and everything just worked, the first time! I can't remember that ever happening, so consistently -- I was able to edit four pages, and just had to click Store once each time. Amazing! (Usually, I have to try and try and try, very painful and frustrating.)

I don't know if it was just extraordinary good luck, or if my problems editing the wiki have always been something peculiar about my computer -- but, if someone has done something to improve the wiki responsiveness, it is working, and Thank You!

(The main thing the wiki has been needing, in general, is more people contributing. Maybe if the wiki had a feature that kept track of page views, we'd know more about what was working or not -- a form of feedback/reinforcement/potential encouragement. This is a good feature of the Forum, that users see what threads are popular.)

my toughs about this are (ok i'm developing an own wiki and i love wikis)
that enire development should go into the wiki, all informations also, and the forum is really only for asking questions from "normal" puppy users...

the regulars are aware about my opinion on this forum :)
