I have seen a few other wikis, such as the Manaworld one and they have a structure similar to that which i was proposing here. tho we have alot more info to display cause of the split between 'arianne' and 'stendhal' |

NOTE: something important i think; from viewing the page view count stats, the most viewed page is obviously the main page, the second most is StendhalManual and the 3rd is HowToMakeGames... this says to me that lots of people wanna use Arianne as a development framework, but we have problems actually getting them to create a game using it... (are there any valid attempts to use it? a few have made the first steps but then given up i think) i think a discussion needs to happen about wether more should be done to help possible developers use arianne, such as more docs/better guidance, or wether there is no real desire to promote the framework and rather simply develop stendhal. I know its hard for devs to spend time guiding new possible game developers by the hand but should prob be talked about. |

Add a READ THIS FIRST type doc which explains what kind of principles should be understood before bombarding dev team with questions like "what is a class" and so on |

I agree that it is not simple to create games using Arianne. |
|||
I will eventually write a book about how we did stendhal, but it is so time consuming!. Perhaps I give it a try this summer. |
|||
Design docs are not so outdated... the overall idea is more or less the same. |

So does this mean that Stendhal won't have a website/domain on its own but that it will jump to the front page and relegate Arianne Framework to a second plane? |

The idea is to reorganise the Wiki to bring Stendhal onto the front page and have its links first, then have the stuff about Arianne (the framework) also on the main page, but below the Stendhal links. I think its important to have both on the main page of the wiki, but also important to recognise that stendhal is now the focus (so should come first) |

* It would be nice to have a set of links at the bottom of each page with related pages.. e.g. a page on NPCs could have a link to the How To create an NPC , and also links to the Quest sections for example. |
