Hi all, I am sure you already hear, that we have a new Wiki "Space" for CouchDB. It's a Atlassian Confluence and I will call it "cwiki". Thanks to Noah for doing the first steps here. You can find the new wiki at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COUCHDB/CouchDB+Home We already discussed the structure within the marketing team. Alex finally wrote the structure down and I think what we have now is a good starting point. Now your help is needed. The following list is a general guide for the process to transfer the content from the old "Moin Moin" wiki at https://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/FrontPage to the new cwiki. * register at cwiki * write to dev@ or ask a mod at IRC to be added to the CouchDB Space - this is a required step * take a page from the old wiki * read it carefully and optimise the content * find the best place where to add the content in cwiki - if needed, add a new page * insert the content into the new page at cwiki * blank out the content in the old wiki and set a link to the new home with the following info: "This page has been moved to the new wiki. Please refer to [ADD_NEW_URL]" And you're done. The user guide for cwiki can be found at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF50/Confluence+User%27s+Guide The most important thing to know is {code} your code here {code} If you start typing "{co" a popup will open and you can choose "Code block" (http://screencast.com/t/ZqGsccyMS) About the content -------------------------- We now have the chance to increase the quality of the content and cleanup old stuff. At this point, many thanks to all the contributors who helped to write down all the info in the wiki. Because we also have http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/, the idea is to use this place for real documentation and the cwiki for general info. So if you think some parts should be moved to the docs, please discuss this at the @dev mailinglist or irc. If you have any questions - please ask. I hope we can find a lot of people to start this big task. Are you willing to help? Thanks a lot! Andy -- Andy Wenk Hamburg - Germany RockIt!
