Nils' Wiki Structure Proposal
I assume that this wiki will mostly be used to document specific tools that have been developed by the group. I propose the following structure:
- We should consider using custom namespaces to separate pages belonging to separate tools. This way we could have several instances of installation, FAQ or tutorial pages (given these are ever written ...).
- A standardized template to describe the main properties of a tool could help to provide a quick overview that is not hard to maintain. A good example for this is the infobox software template: GIMP, Excel. Of course we could change this a little to fit our needs.
- Each page describing a tool or process should contain a section "Comments" where developers/users can post messages regarding their experience with the tool. This could also include tips on how to use it on a particular operating system etc. but should not be used to report bugs.
- The main page should feature a "News" section where we post latest additions and changes to the wiki. (I know that there are other ways to find out what has been changed but this is the most convenient for people who are not familiar with wikis.)
Any comments welcome!
