Paul: The PPP stuff is under the WM2003 section, because we don't really
support PPP for 2005 devices.

All: I sat down to try and document somethings for the new wiki
(www.synce.org/moin) where we hope to consolidate everything and finally
switch off the old cruft. I got a bit stuck on my taxonomy, the desire
to be really exact for distros - making use of .debs and such, and not
duplicating too much.


**** Idea 1 ****

So I reckon there are the following sections:
 * Base install
   * libsynce/librapi/librra(?) and odccm
 * Connecting your device
   * USB RNDIS
   * USB Serial
   * Bluetooth PAN (no idea how this works)
   * Bluetooth Serial (no idea how this works)
 * Syncing your device
 * Browsing your device
   * Gnomevfs
   * Fur
   * Is there a KIO slave
 * Adding and removing software
 * Connecting to the internet from your device via your PC
 * Connecting to the internet from your PC via your device
 * Remote controlling your device (KCE Mirror)

Some of these bits will have distribution specific instructions, if not
all. So do we have a page for each distribution with a list like above?
So i'm going to setup the homepage as:

== Installation ==
 * Installation on Debian/Ubuntu
 * Installation on Gentoo
 * Installation on other Linux's

Both will have pages as above, and where no distro specific pages exist
we link to the generic pages. I think the overhead of maintaining extra
pages is worth it to cut down on traffic on #synce and other support
areas.


**** Idea 2 ****

Homepage has the menu:

 * Getting Ready
   * libsynce/librapi/librra(?) and odccm
 * Connecting your device
   * USB RNDIS
   * USB Serial
   * Bluetooth PAN (no idea how this works)
   * Bluetooth Serial (no idea how this works)
 * Syncing your device
 * Browsing your device
   * Gnomevfs
   * Fur
   * Is there a KIO slave
 * Adding and removing software
 * Connecting to the internet from your device via your PC
 * Connecting to the internet from your PC via your device
 * Remote controlling your device (KCE Mirror)

Notes:
 * Each page has the generic page (installing from tars) but first
offers links to packages/ebuilds. 
 * They will assume the user has followed Getting Ready which will talk
them through setting up repositories that might be needed. 
 * If the installation notes are long they may be delegated to a subpage
also, in which case (for example) "Syncing your device" just contains
instructions for running msynctool.

Thoughts?

Paul: Your input on beating the new wiki into shape would be
appreciated, but I want to make sure we get the structure right first.
Theres already a crufty page or two :( 

Jonnylamb: Can we get synce.org rebooted or something :-\ Its dead
here...
