Hey, this is really cool! Great work! I am committed to contributing as much as I can.
It would be great to take a really well known object and do a "reference article" to somewhat establish quality standards for the articles, and give lazy editors a template to work from when cleaning up the dumped text. A "see also"/"related" section would be great, like [append]: see also: [list]. (maybe the categories take care of this) Also, a standard for writing "deprecated by" would be really helpful for old objects. big cheers Luke On 10/1/07, Hans-Christoph Steiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Yay!! > > Everyone dump your content into it, it is a ready recepticle! > > :D > > .hc > > On Oct 1, 2007, at 8:54 PM, marius schebella wrote: > > > hey, > > > > pdpedia is online! > > > > It is a child of the second pdconv in montreal and many people helped > > putting it up, hans and I finally did the import of the objects and > > the > > main layout for the site.
