Official Wiki Restructure: Phase 1
Ok guys, gals and androids..It is FINALLY time to begin restructuring the wiki...I was planning on doing the restructuring earlier, but I decided to wait for Froyo as I figured thats when most of the fixes would be..originally I of course thought Froyo would come A LOT earlier then it did..but lets put that behind us and start on restructuring the wiki!
As promised I am hoping the entire community helps build the structure for the wiki, don't worry I will be doing most of the writing and work (unless you want to help)..but I will need people to contribute information... Phase 1 - Structure Since Froyo is not out just yet, I would like to begin discussion on how people would like the wiki to be structured.. What I think we need to do is: 1) Make the Epic wiki more then 1 page 2) We need an easier way to implement FAQs..as it is its too messy 3) We need to seperate suggested applications into its own wiki 4) I would like to make it more beginner friendly while retaining the simplicty for experienced users 5) We need to outline issues I will be submitting the structure I think we should use for the wiki in a bit..I am open to suggestions and if anyone feels they want to submit their own structures go ahead. Remeber right now we are ONLY discussing Structure of the Wiki..nothing else PLEASE KEEP THIS ON TOPIC, I WILL DELETE ALL OFF TOPIC STUFF WITHOUT EXCEPTION.. (I expect this thread to get messy with info and going through off topic stuff is going to make it harder to go through information) Off Topic Discussion of this goes here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/sprint-epi...iscussion.html

Re: Official Wiki Restructure: Phase 1
I think the "Basics" section should include the following topics:
-Android generation explanations (Eclair, Froyo, Ice Cream, DI18, DK28, EB13, etc) -File systems (RFS vs EXT4) -What rooting is and why you shouldn't be afraid of it I also think there needs to be a glossary that explains terms like root, radio, ROM, kernel, flash, etc. The glossary might be better off in the "What is Android" section, or maybe there could be a hyperlink to it on every page. Or maybe we could divide the whole thing into at least 2 panes where the left side of the screen is a narrow pane that contains the Table of Contents with hyperlinks to the rest of the wiki. The TOC would remain static and be visible from anywhere so it would be easier to jump around the wiki without having to go back up to the top. |

Bump
Anymore thoughts on this? Getting the wiki updated could help us get some traffic to the Epic forum.
