I don't like the whole scratch-pad idea. It seems like documents will wind up living there forever since there are no criteria to move things in or out. Plus any time something does move in or out, the URL gets changed. I hate changing URLs.
Agreed, it's a hangover from when the wiki started life on one of pctony's servers. Changing URLs is bad practice as you say (which is presumably why we still have http://httpd.apache.org/info/apache_on_linux.html :-) but, should we have a sweeping cleanup rather than letting the current page structure lie?
I suggest just creating the page in its correct location. You can use the ScractPad page for linking pages that you are working on and don't want to make very public yet. But even then, I'd prefer if you just put a warning at the top mentioning the current status. (In the medium term, I'm not even sure we should be creating wiki pages in a hierarchy in any case. It is fine to have a hierarchy of index pages, but the documents themselves should perhaps all be at the root level.)
Again, agreed. I'd like to see a more consistent use of CamelCase or Worm_Case or UNGodly_mix for page names too. Also, it's long been intended to move some of the wiki content to the main docs. Do you see any viable candidates for transformation yet? -- noodl --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
