Since June 2007, when bastl imported the tips from vim.org, 50 new tips have been created on the wiki (plus a couple of junk pages which I have flagged for deletion).
I have developed a procedure for handling new pages, and you can admire a list of all new tips at http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vim_Tips_Wiki:Proposed_new_tips I have edited each new tip by inserting a TipProposed template, and have done some routine editing like inserting pre and tt tags, deleting excess whitespace, joining paras, etc. I fixed a couple of typos and bad expressions, but essentially I left the tip as the author wrote it. Some of the tips are pretty weak, for example, they may simply repeat info that we already have. My plan: - Get some discussion here and/or on the above wiki page. - In late February, make a decision about which new tips to keep. - For those tips, change template TipProposed to TipNew. For each tip, we need to decide: - Should it be kept? - Should any useful content be moved to another tip? - Should it be deleted? The list of proposed new tips is in alphabetical order. I also have a list in date-created order, and will use that list to manually assign a tip id to the tips we decide to keep. We currently have tips 1 to 1504. The first new tip will be 1505, the next 1506, etc. All old tips now use the TipImported template. I will periodically check for new pages, and insert the TipProposed template in them. When we decide to keep a new tip, I will change the template to TipNew with a unique id and correct previous/next navigation. Please give some feedback.
