Hi all

Finally I have imported all the vim tips from http://vim.org/tips to

http://vim.wikia.com

and set up a minimal infrastructure to keep things going. Not everything
is perfect, but I think it is usable now.

Thanks to all the support from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and especially to the very
kind wikia community (#wikia on freenode and the mailing list,
Greetings!).

Some words on contribution: A good wiki depends on two main factors:
Excellent content and a lively community. We have a lot of good content
now, but to make it excellent we need You!

If you ever posted a tip or a comment to the old tips database, please
have a look at it on the wiki, and review the page. Every little bit
helps!

See you on the wiki, Sebastian.






Very good work Sebastian, it looks great to me.

I have already come across a new tip on vim wikia that I hadn't known 
anything about which I thought I might draw programmer's attention to 
(sorry if you already know about it). Tip #1267, which is a tip to 
enable a programmer to see (by a simple key combination of his/her 
choice), in which function they are. Very useful if you have just landed 
in the middle of a long function during a search for example, you know 
longer have to move around inside the buffer to find which function you 
are in, just type your chosen key combination: see 
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Show_current_function_name_(for_C_programmers)

if you are interested.

Thanks very much to the original author of the tip and to everyone who 
has contributed to setting up the vim wikia.

Rob.

Hi,


Finally I have imported all the vim tips from http://vim.org/tips to

http://vim.wikia.com


if you must have ads, would it be possible to go with text-only ads?  
Additionally, the Digg this story button at the bottom is stupid ;-)


Just my destructive 2 cents,
Nico

Great!

Let's await comments for a few days, then I'll add a few links on
www.vim.org to the tips wiki.  That should give the wiki quite a bit
more traffic.

How about redirecting http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=805
to http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip805  (where 805 is an arbitrary
number)?

The Tips pages appear to load a bit slow, but otherwise it looks like
all the info from the old pages is there.

Sebastian,

Why not utilize the talk: pages for the comments (see discussion tab 
at top of each wiki page)?


Just curious.
