I have taken the liberty of adding some skeleton pages. I remember that the biggest obstacle I had to overcome, when starting to use a wiki, was the fear of trashing something. I was used to reading other peoples web pages, but not actually _changing_ other peoples web pages. However, this is what a wiki is all about. All pages are automatically kept under version control - no matter what somebody does, intentionally or otherwise, the changes can always be reverted back to the previous state. So feel free to dig in and add/change stuff as much as you possibly can. After a while, it is probably useful to lock the main page from changes. This way, the impact of malicious editing can be reduced, but before we can do that we have to agree on the look and contents of it.
I copied a small part of the mediawiki documentation into the help page: http://rswiki.matthias-kappenberg.de/index.php/Help:Contents and a few examples in the sandbox: http://rswiki.matthias-kappenberg.de/index.php/Sandbox Just create an account and start publishing - there are no excuses now. ;) Regards, Fredrik Bergholtz P.S. Matthias, we might need to make some changes to the main php-script, one is to add the url to a more suitable logo, another is to add the main page categories to the sidebar. If you don't feel like digging up the howto, I could assist, I have done it once before. Check into #Realsoft3D and we can work something out. That is if you don't want to do it yourself.
