New Puppy Wiki Project
Posted: Sun 07 Mar 2010, 11:59
Xrter (on IRC, on the forums he's Saturn) had a brilliant initiative to write a new Puppy wiki, and I'm trying to arrange things for this.
We need some place to arrange this project and decide who writes what and how. We must agree on some style common to all articles and the articles list itself.
My forums username is Iguleder (as you probably know), my Puppy IRC nick is Iguleder, and my email is dima_k@ymail.com. My MSN is dima_k@ymail.com too.
Please, if you wish to participate in this documentation project, reply with the articles you wish to write, sort them by difficulty level (beginner, intermediate, expert) and add some contact information (instant messaging, email, forums/IRC nicknames).
The topics I write about are:
- Beginner - Rox: working with files, Rox options, the pinboard.
- Beginner - SFS extensions 1: what are they, how to use with different kinds of installations.
- Beginner - PETs: how to use PPM, how to get PETs from the forum.
- Intermediate - the console: common console commands, working with files with the console, system variables, Bash scripts.
- Intermediate - compiling: how to install the devx module, how to install kernel sources, how to compile sources, how to customize makefiles, basic hacking, basic sources editing, how to install to a specific directory (for creation of SFS/PET).
- Intermediate - SFS extensions 2: how to make, how to convert.
- Intermediate - PETs: how to make pets.
- Intermediate - nVidia drivers: how to install, how to update.
- Expert - Woof: basic tutorial on how to make Wooflets.
All my articles will be written in simple English, with small, JPG screenshots for almost each 1-2 paragraphs. My list of articles is not final, I may add or remove articles from it.
Some notes:
- We need an article about getting certain printers to work with CUPS.
- We need articles about exotic sound cards, modems and wireless.
I think we should write articles in Abiword or OpenOffice and save them as ODT, so everyone can view and edit them, is that alright? When you're done writing an article, post it here, we'll polish it together. When Xrter is done setting up the wiki we'll move it there.
Good luck with this thing
