So far, I gather that these need to be addressed:
- document claims and capability of the system, provide step by step instructions
- updates, separate current info from legacy (add version info as category)
- Draft Page Status: a stab at what the page status should look like
- completeness
- removal of obsolete articles
- editing for readability/simplicity
- new users centered additions (such as Networking structure & how-to, Basic system architecture - understandable descriptions of the software, Simple step-by-step tutorials for the most basic functionalities, Present a user-friendly image)
- technical level centered organization (basic, intermediate, advanced, expert & developer)
- categorization, indexing/organization
- try to generalise what we already have out there. In no particular order...
- - Hardware pages eg motherboards, z-wave device
- - User pages
- - Overview pages eg this is an MD, this is a core, the network must be set up like this because...
- - Instructional pages eg the procedure for adding a light, NOT hacks
- - hacks
- - source
- a table of hardware compatibility connecting to corresponding linked articles
- consistent favorites navigation (News, About, Documentation, Forum, Download, Contact Us)
- uniformity, standardization of articles
- provide project news that affects users
- provide entry to the Forums and the Wiki
- appoint a dedicated documenter and one programmer to whom the documenter can ask questions
- create and document method of communication between authors and users that have questions regarding an article
- encourage notes taking on user page?
- To create a user page, register on the wiki (now requires an active forum account, I understand, & which you have). Then search for your user name, and when it says there's no page for that, chose the option to create one.source
Proposed Color Scheme
- Text: #000000
- Highlight: #123456
Ongoing
- clean templates - users created templates instead of pages
- 1. Where do I start?
- Contributing to LMCE
- Help:Editing advanced
- Help:Article categories. Delete: Article categories which is in wrong namespace.
- Help:Namespace
- Add a page to the wiki
- Help:Hyperlinks
To complete:
- Contacts
- read pages with :user
- catalog working equipment from user pages
- So, how does it work?
- What do I need to run LinuxMCE?
- What to buy?
My objectives
- organize and make information manageable
- increase accessibility and findability
- help users find information and complete their tasks (fulfill their information needs)
- build information structures that allow others to understand
- make the information useful
- improve user experience, usability, and user interface
- provide an effective presentation and use of information
- help people share information
Abstract the essentials from this complex body of information, and make those essentials easily accessible to a user in a clear and esthetically pleasing presentation that creates meaning or understanding.
Miscellaneous notes
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Software_components
from twodogs on forum dicussion:
"Wiki articles should be written with beginning users in mind. Readers should be provided an overview of what they are doing before being given a laundry list of steps to perform. If the overview already has already been covered elsewhere, a link to that source would be helpful. If no overview exists, then an introductory paragraph might eliminate repeated cries for assistance in the forums."
