If you are "new to android", please consider getting 12-18 months of experience with the platform first before trying to create a resource that requires at least that level of expertise just to curate. Along the way, you can avail yourself of the copious resources that the Android developer community have painstakingly put together since late 2007, such as nearly 180,000 posts on this very Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers and nearly 70,000 pages worth of questions and answers on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/android And all the blogs, forums, wikis, etc. that we have collectively generated. Perhaps at that time you will determine that another English-language Android development wiki is not what the world needs. >From what I can tell, non-English speakers are chronically under-served, so perhaps you will determine at that time to create an Android development resource for some other language. Or, perhaps you will just create a custom search engine, indexing known good Android development resources. Or, perhaps you will think of something else. However, if after you have 12-18 months of Android development experience, you still want to create yet another English-language Android development wiki, go for it. Hopefully, by then, you will be able to seed it yourself -- a few hundred pages *might* be sufficient. I know from personal experience that a few dozen pages will not. As TreKing pointed out, an empty wiki will tend to remain empty (I think that's Newton's Fourth Law of Internet Thermodynamics...). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.9.3 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
