I'm cool whatever you decide Dan. One argument for the seperate USER Wiki, is that many of us feel that what we write may not be "worthy" or is not good enough for the main boltwire site. I for one am hesitant to put something on the official boltwire site, becuase:
1) I only partially understand what I am writing. 2) It may already be in the BW docs, and I don't know where it is. 3) I think someone else has better ways of doing things than my idea, so I don't write my idea. The second reason is that a WIKI and NOT A CMS, really grow differently. The wiki should become self organizing over time. A CMS you kind of have to set up the structure of the content beforehand and contributors have to try to figure it out. A Wiki is encourages you just to write. This is useful when the structure isn;t actually known. I think each of us has a different idea of how the documentation/help should be structured; but we all want the same contents. A lot of the content is on the BW site already, but not where I expect to find it. And, someone else wants the same content, but they expect to find it in a place different from where I expect! The wiki pages need to be able to be tagged for a category, and include a comment/response area, and I think that is enough to get it going. Just my vote, set up a wiki, see what comes of it. Anything good that comes out of it, you migrate those good sections to the main BW site. If nothing good comes of it, then we tried. As for tutorials: I think what BW is missing, is not the tutorial, but a "guaranteed to work first time" examples, for a standard BLOG, and a one page complicated form (different fields, required fields, validation, and field calcs) that logs its data and reports on the data. My issues have been that the downloaded app doesn't work out of the box. If these apps worked guaranteed, and then there was a DRAFT NOT-OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION wiki page, I think folks would jump in to provide detailed documentation. That info could then be transformed intro an official wiki page. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BoltWire" group.
