Largely, the over-arching goal is to get a better web presence for the Catalyst project. For a web framework, our presence is remarkably non-web. The wiki migration is one step. We'll also be working on some static content and unifying everything we can under the Catalyst domain. More narrowly, my desired goal of the wiki project is to refresh the content, make sure it is all relevant, up to date and clean. I have no opinion on getting rid of Trac. If people wanted to keep Trac, I'd still suggest this route but it makes more sense to run this on a Catalyst wiki and help build a Catalyst app that we can really showcase. > 2.

Read it, apply some logic. If you are not qualified to go, "is this valid?" leave it and pick up something else. There are a lot of pages, and a lot of it is easy to verify. You don't have to rewrite the copy, just rewrite any inaccurate and out of date bits. > 3. Once I've got a login, what do you want me to do?

This isn't a forked channel, this is simply a low-noise JFDI channel while this is happening. I'm hoping that we can get a document for guiding the effort, but it may not happen because it could take longer to write it than to do it. The general rules of thumbs: 1) Look at the content closely. Examine it for accuracy 2) Use the hierarchy. MojoMojo supports "directories" for lack of a better term. /GettingStarted/Tutorial/Page1 is a good idea. We have fromtrac/ for the content that needs categorization and editing, and you can play with hierarchy layouts there. As an example, we have fromtrac/testing/testwebexample1, etc. Good categorization, but the title may be more cleanly written as testing/examples/Web1. These are things we're simply going to have to play around with and see what fits best. 3) If you find a bug in MojoMojo, report to the ml or ping marcus or myself. Patches welcome. 4) If you find a bug in the formatter, report it to me or t0m on #catalyst-dev There will be some design work on the wiki to make the page look closer to the Catalyst site in its current form. This should help for getting additional formatting, so stay tuned. If you think you want some additional formatting, like what we're doing on the main page, please discuss it with us so we can create the CSS rules. Thanks, -J
