I was thinking of a meta-category called "Third-party add-ons" (or something similar), with subcategories for SqueezeCenter Plug-in, SqueezeCenter Skins, Squeezebox Controller Applets, and so on. > > 3. > I would like some place to put setup tutorials that explains how to > setup different things, specifically I'm thinking of how to accomplish > different things with combination of several third party plugins. > Basically, I would like to move everything I currently have on my own > wiki regarding this to the new Logitech wiki: > http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer_Configuration_Examples > > It might also be a good idea to think about the structure under third > party plugins, it would be really useful if it was possible to enter > some more information for each plugin not just a link to the developer > site.

I was thinking that we might create an entirely separate namespace for the Developer Wiki... that seems--on the surface, anyway--to allow for the end user-oriented wiki not to appear overly complicated, while maintaining the ability to search across the entire wiki (or constrain it to the section you want to search). Mediawiki uses namespaces for separating policy pages/discussion from content pages/discussion. They view it as public viewing and viewing intended for your editing community, which sounds a *lot* like what we want to accomplish; just replace "policy" with "how the SqueezeCenter sausage is made" and we're in alignment. -=> Jim -- JimC "well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that." -- BKlaas' college buddy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44957 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
