I'm ok with this for some special pages. But not for all pages. It's
a double-edged sword. I think it's important that xwiki.org offers a
professional view of XWiki. If we have empty links everywhere, it
doesn't look "finished" (and btw people mistakenly follow the link
and save the empty page thereafter leading to confusion for other
users who don't understand why there's an empty page!)
Search tips is a good idea? Where would you see this page located on
xwiki.org?
Documentation
is done by the community, i.e. people like you. I
agree it's a little bit disappointing that lots of users do not
participate more to documentation since they get a software for
free, ask a lot of questions and when they get their answers they
don't even bother to reinject their knowledge into the
documentation for the benefit of others. I hope you're not like
these users! :)
I have some small suggestions :
One is can we have some logical structure in place, say, empty
links, which others can edit and add content to it. For example,
one of those can be, Search tips: people can add different
scenarios and the queries that apply in that scenario. Another is to classify the FAQ into proper sections.
There are a
whole lot of information in the mailing list which can make way to
FAQs so that a new comer will be at ease. If structured properly,
FAQ will be of much use, I guess.
yes, that would be nice. Any idea of how to do this?
Another is a tutorial more elaborate than the current
FAQ tutorial.
A mini application which will give a new comer a feel of what can
be done using xwiki.
Like this: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-732 ? :)
So who's doing it? :)
Thanks
