Re: [Jgeneral] An invitation to participate in developing the J wiki
Thanks. I will add a link to the word "wiki", but note that there are several links to the wiki in the side panel of that page.

[Jgeneral] An invitation to participate in developing the J wiki
Calling all J'ers
Over the last couple of months, a group have been working together on a plan
to revamp the J wiki. In the next two months, we will start to roll out some of
the changes that we plan to implement. If you have not already been involved,
this is your chance. These developments should be thought of as an evolution
rather than a rigid implementation and your input is vital as the changes
progress.
The first area of that should attract your attention we have called the J
playground. The J playground can be found at
https://jsoftware.github.io/j-playground/bin/html/emj.html At this point it
is primarily a way to demonstrate the J language to newcomers using only the
browser, but it may develop into a more comprehensive tool if interest warrants
it. To provide feedback on the J playground the most effective way is to raise
an issue at the GitHub site. https://github.com/jsoftware/j-playground/issues
The second area of interest is to increase the ease of navigating the wiki. As
part of this initiative landing pages have been developed which can be seen at
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Wiki/prototype_landing_page. We are looking for
suggestions of improvement based on the way that you use the wiki currently.
What areas should be highlighted and which ones should have their visibility
reduced. The format and content of these pages will change based on the
comments that we receive over the next two months. The easiest way to provide
feedback on the wiki pages is to sign up as a wiki user and make the comments
on the discussion pages that accompany each page. If you are not already signed
up as a wiki user you can follow the directions found here:
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/About and you can email us here: wiki {at}
jsoftware {dot} com The other option to provide feedback is through the J
general forum.
The process of making improvements to the wiki is a task that will benefit
from the involvement of the whole J community. As my football coach used to
say, you will only get out what you are willing to put in. If we put the work
in, we have the opportunity to create something that is really special and will
expose J to a much larger audience than it has had previously. I look forward
to seeing what we can achieve together.
Cheers, bob
