I'm fairly new to Revolution. I recently purchased Dreamcard and
while there are things that I really like about it, there have been
several issues with it that took way too much time for me to either
figure out work arounds on my own or search through the archives of
this list for solutions.
I've found searching the list archives to be helpful, but time
consuming to actually read through different threads until one person
understood the question the other person was asking or experienced
the same malfunction. I started wondering if anyone had a wiki where
users could post helpful how-to's and sanity saving work arounds. Not
wanting to reinvent the wheel, I searched the list archives and found
this thread. It seems like others are interested in doing the same
thing but that nothing has yet materialized. (I did find this http://
revolution.lexicall.org/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=SoftwareRevolution,
but felt that it wasn't quite what I was looking for.)
So, I've set up a wiki at http://revdocwiki.wikispaces.org/ . I've
posted the 3 work arounds for the issues that have caused me the most
frustration up until now. Wikispaces.org is new to me, so I can't
vouch for them as a reliable space to host this information, however,
I figure it's worth trying it out.
If anyone else is interested, please take a look and maybe post some
information there as well.

Someone asked earlier today, in re the hypothetical wiki that might
be used to improve and expand the rev documentation: "What is Rev
willing to kick in?" or something along those lines.
An obvious first step would be for Rev to convert its current
onboard docs into a format suitable for a wiki, and allow the
wikiMaster use of those docs, without charge. Rev could retain the
copyright, if it wanted to -- if they are copyrighted.
Rev might want to abstain from any more obligations to the wiki,
until the Rev people see how it's working out. Heck, the wikiMaster
or wikiGroup might be able to charge Rev for the improved version
of its own docs. However, it seems more civilized for Rev and the
wikiMasters to reach some kind of agreement beforehand. That's more
civilized than hostageware.
Of course, this is all hypothetical, at best, really more like
highly speculative.
What would *I* be willing to do? Well, at least I can write. If a
property, chunk, object, command, etc., might benefit from a
verbose alternative to the usual terse dictionary entry, I would be
willing to write verbose explanations of some items I understand
well, and submit them to the wiki.
Cheers,
Tim
