1) I don't know (and forget when I do know) all the shortcuts for
various
lines, heading levels and the like.
Hmm, ok I see. When it comes to remembering the markup, have you
ever noticed the icons just below the edit area? See here for instance
http://wiki.lyx.org/Playground/TestBox?action=edit
The icons are just below the text "Editing Playground.TestBox". Do
you think these help, or are they just confusing?
I would also like to know what you think about the help text below
the edit field. Is it too much information, so it is just
confusing? Maybe it should only contain some of the really common
markup?
I think the PmWiki documentation page is very good (http://
wiki.lyx.org/PmWiki/DocumentationIndex), especially the Beginner
Topics area. I keep it open as a separate tab in my browser whenever
I edit. Initially, though, I learned by simply hitting "Edit" on
pages that had the stuff I wanted to do to see how they did it.
Moreover, one nice thing about the Wiki pages is that, even if you
don't include much special formatting, there are always people around
who can add it later!
BUT, I also think that some of our LyX Wiki pages, while excellent,
sometimes contain a lot of extra formatting, like red and green text,
which is not necessary (strictly speaking). This is not a bad thing,
since it makes the pages beautiful and easy to read, but it also not
essential. I can see how that would be intimidating...
Eh... I'd probably answer GPL, but I have no real clue. This
question also concerns anything you simply write on the wiki.
Here's the relevant text that I put on the wiki a long time ago
http://wiki.lyx.org/Site/Copyrights
Not sure that it helps though, and maybe it needs to be expanded?
Wikipedia.org has the following page linked from every single entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License
Is there a way to modify all of the wiki pages so that they link the
copyrights page you mention?
