Hello,

Firstly: my contact is not what I would like it to be at present. If you
reply by mail, I should receive in two days or so. I made contact on
IRC, and hope to be there most mornings (Greenwich Mean Time) over the
next few days.

In short, new front page for installation (not yet placed):

http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/User:Rcrowther

This is backed by new pages containing material that many will
recognise, but much re-ordered.

The major proposed changes are:

- Material has been moved to categorised pages, rather than grouped
round one page with a 'recommended process'.

The 'recommended process' wasn't working for me. I tried rewriting to
bring it up-to-date. It still didn't work. I guess Apertium now has too
many users over a wide base?


- ''Minimal installation from SVN' page to be reduced to an index.

Reasons for proposal - there is nothing 'minimal' now about a
compilation. 'Installation', there is a note on the proposed front page
about this. '...from SVN' - the repository has many uses, like language
downloading. And the title seems to hint this method is the only way to
get Apertium --- it is not.

I can't get on very well with the title, I suppose.

The page can't be removed, it is too well-known, and may be bookmarked.
It probably should not be redirected, as there is too much information
present to know where to redirect to. So I'm proposing a little index,
which you can see at the bottom of the page here,

http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/User:Rcrowther#Minimal_installation_from_SVN

?

There's a lot more, but those are the contentious points. Hope everyone
understands why I would try to change, and so disrupt, some of the
most-linked and most-visited pages on the Wiki.

Hopefully meet you on IRC,
Rob
