I've been moving the FreeDOS wiki content over by copy/paste. And I've finished almost all of the tricky pages .. then it's a collection of small pages (mostly usage pages for programs) which I think should go quickly. Then I'll add wiki editor accounts for anyone who wants them.
The new wiki will be here: https://wiki.freedos.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page (don't bookmark that yet .. the "w" part in the URL will likely go away) Question: What to do about the "Networking How-to"? This is a collection of pages that wasn't written as a typical "wiki" page (every page in a wiki should stand on its own, with links to other pages for more info) but as a series of pages that follow step 1, step 2, .. etc. Should I just copy/paste those pages into the new wiki, or move them out into a new kind of "how-to" article? We have another collection of pages for an "Installation Guide" and I have the same question there. Related: I (and others) wrote a bunch of articles about FreeDOS for Opensource.com before they stopped publishing (about a year ago). Opensource.com is still up, and I'd like to copy/paste the FreeDOS articles into a website that we control in case Opensource.com goes away. At least the articles I wrote, and I can ask permission of other authors if I have their contact info. Again, these aren't written to be "wiki" pages, they are standalone articles about how to do something in FreeDOS (like how to use CD and DIR, other useful commands, conio programming, .. etc) in 800 to 1000 words. https://opensource.com/tags/freedos Should I just copy/paste those into the new wiki, or should I create a new website to republish these, like a howto.freedos.org website .. or maybe a "howto" directory on the new wiki website (but outside the "wiki" itself) like wiki.freedos.org/howto .. or a "howto" directory on the main website, like www.freedos.org/howto .. what's the best plan? Since Google's "SEO" ranking generally "down-ranks" websites that copy/paste content from other websites, creating a new website name like howto.freedos.org seems like a good idea, but I don't want to create a bunch of work for myself if others have a better idea Jim _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
