That's the spirit ! And yes, it's exactly right. Thanks a lot !
np, yw.
One minor nit: the Anelok case ends in a half-circle on the side
of the wheel, with wheel and half-circle having the same center.
Darn it. I know, but I was sort of hoping noone would notice (or at
least not care/comment about) that. ^_^'
That's part of what the "quick" qualifier was for, tbh - I was at work,
so only had LibreOffice Draw to work with, and I'm not too familiar with
how that's used. (I'm more familiar with Inkscape.)
Turned out to be fairly quick and easy for an inital mockup (just add
some rounded-rects, circles, etc), but I didn't quite see how to fix
that kind of detail. :/ (Had a few other annoyances too, but I was kind
of trying to suppress my inner perfectionist so I wouldn't run out of
energy/inspiration before I had something at least halfway usable.)
Ah well, just consider it a first draft or something like that. :)
However, I couldn't figure out how to make a clone of the wiki
repository in such a way that I can then send a merge request
against it.
Hmm, there doesn't seem to be a direct way to do it. According to
https://gitorious.org/gitorious/pages/Todo
"be able to clone the wiki repository" should be implemented
"soon", but then it says the same about "be able to push to the
wiki repository (project admins only?)" and this works already,
at least for me as project owner.
Yeah, while googling I found some resolved issues about those things (so
I guess it's just the todo page not being updated), but I didn't find
anything about having the same on-site clone/merge functionality for the
wiki repos as for project repos. Seems like a pretty obvious idea to me,
but maybe they just haven't thought of it yet? *shrug*
I'm pretty sure it's the same way on GitHub's wikis too, that they're
kind of off to the side of the normal git functionality.
Now that I think about it though, I guess wikis are really more about
letting everyone change stuff, and then just revert the change if it was
wrong, instead of having to approve every change... Just a bit hard to
let go of my code mindset I guess, where that would be a disaster. :P
What license is [the documentation] supposed to be using?
Good question. CC-BY-SA may work. I treat it sort of as catchall
for anything that isn't clearly software. There's the GNU FDL
specifically for documents, but at a very quick glance it looks
a little over-engineered.
CC-BY-SA works for me. (Wikipedia uses it, so it ought to work pretty
well for wiki stuff...)
... Although, hm. A bit of looking around shows that CC-BY-SA is not
compatible with the GNU GPL. That might be a problem, depending on if we
want to put code into the docs, or docs into the code.
During my looking around though, I saw someone doing something that
might work (but IANAL and I haven't looked closer at it or its potential
consequences): licensing the docs under both CC-BY-SA and GPLv2+.
However, one of my first thoughts about that is that I suspect it would
allow us to put docs into code and hardware, but not code or hardware
into the docs. So, in one way, worse than just CC-BY-SA...
Argh. It's too late (or early) for this... I'm going to bed. g'nite.

P.S. Things would be *so* much simpler if only everyone could use CC0
instead of all these other licenses... Fat chance of that happening though.
