WikiRefactoring

This page outlines a proposal for Wiki Refactoring. It is just my thoughts and ramblings so please add change and then I can implement them one afternoon... StephenIerodiaconou 11:23, 23 April 2007 (PDT)

The general idea is

• Reorganise information to make the wiki more usable to both players and contributors(especially for contributors as it is mainly used by them)
• Update certain docs, possibly prune other redundant ones (Clarify and clean docs (e.g add definitions to docs to clarify certain meanings maybe and so on)
• Merge / link together docs

Wiki Structure

Main Page

• Remove mapacman and gladiators... simply place a link to them E.g. section 'Old Games' and links to them for archival reasons

• Keep amount of information short but useful (for example I dont think the Blogs section really needs to have such an important section of the wiki.

Stendhal section at top

Left Column

• Use the Left column as the Stendhal player information section. It would start with useful links for Players (mainly About/Manual & feedback... but also possibly non spoiler versions of Bestiary ,Items list and world... maybe they would just have hints instead of full info about the monsters/quests etc.)

• The rest of the player oriented information could then be linked to under this

Right Column

• The right column would include links for contributors and developers. Including links to main sections of Stendhal refactoring as i think it is silly having the refactoring information all hidden off on its own as it is where most of the work gets done.

• Link to developers Blog... instead of maintaining a blog per person, have one blog in which each contributor can simply add a section with their name/time stamp to inform other devs what they are currently working on.

• Link to Roadmap - it was indicated in the meeting I think that a better roadmap was needed to guide development

Arianne Framework in section at bottom

• Here we will place the Arianne framework information but the links need pruning or at least the documents need updating. I expect all the Design Docs are now kinda out of date.

• Include Marauroa API documentation , even if just a link to some DOxygen type docs built from source.
