Basics for Wiki?

Hey guys,

Just wondering, are you guys going to be making wiki docs on basic things to do (e.g creating a group, creating boards, etc etc)? If yes, I can help if you guys want.


Where and how do I make a doc? I think its on github....I am a github newbie so I'll need someone to tell me the exact steps in order to create a doc and publish it. Ill write things myself and people can improve it and stuff.


Maybe make a wiki doc board where we can discuss things about the wiki and stuff. :P

Nvm, I found out how to create the page and stuff, but I create it on github, right?

Edit: I am not sure if I posted this in the right board or no. :p

Any and all items to help on the Wiki would be greatly appreciated !!

@Jorin offered up the excellent work he did as well ( http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?topic=2457.msg16265#msg16265 ) this is in German but translator may provide a good starting point.

There was also some discussion in this thread, at least about a basic structure at some point, http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?topic=2192.msg14157#msg14157 but right now we need the articles of course.

All of the wiki items are on GitHub as you found: https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/wiki  As you can see for the most part they are developer centirc things vs user centric although there are a couple hidden in there, like https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/wiki/Sphinx-Fulltext-Search and https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/wiki/Posting-by-Email-Feature for the less used and understood functions.

Anyway, thanks for any help you can provide :D

Maybe you could start by creating a doc to help the rest of us, git noobs, get up to speed in contributing to the ElkArte docs?  :-[

Yeah, sure. I'll post make a thread in the next few days explaining how to make docs and contribute to it. :P

Been playing with a little structure for the Wiki https://github.com/Spuds/Elkarte/wiki  Just a start but should begin to help with where to put content as its written.

I will (try) to make an installation guide. For now, I will make the page and write a sentence and two, and I will complete it within the next few days. :p



EDIT: Started it, this is what I have so far.
https://github.com/Mstcool/Elkarte/wiki/Installation-Guide


Once I finish it and improve it, how do I add it to ElkArt's Wiki?
Also, are there any server (or other) requirements I am missing on my installation guide?

I hope you guys don't mind. I made an installation guide test page on the Elkarte wiki site. Just wanted to see how I would transfer things from my repo onto the Elkarte one. How would I do this?

Did you already put it on the wiki?
I still have to understand if the github wiki has a "recently added" page... :-\
Bugs creator.
Features destroyer.
Template killer.

I added the test page of installation guide onto the wiki. The actual doc is still on my repo cuz I am not done writing it. :P

I checked the install and upgrade scripts and they have 8.3 ... I think we moved from 8.0 to 8.3 as the min way back.   Don't remember on 9.x, its always possible we did, but I can't remember  :-[

There is no pull request kinda thing for the wiki, right? So I would have to copy things from my repo and add it to Elkarte's, right?
