Wiki

To Ono and the site-management: maybe in the future you could consider to implement a wiki page, in which every user can contribute with some documentation.

I've noticed that Indigo lacks a little of docs; the development is still running (0.7 t4!!!) but we don't have a real manual and tutorials. I know that one can find a lot of things in this forum, but - I'm speaking for my experience - it's a little difficult to orient yourself in the "labirinth" just because of the continuos development. For example, the Blender-to-Indigo tutorial needs to be re-writed!

Instead of a wiki we can realize a sort of organized-docs project, there are a lot of possibilities! What do you think about it?

Man, please open fire ! If I wasn't that lazy (to recollect all data in one first post)...

But I would like that wiki also... it has been anounced already, dunno how is the project.

i've already installed a wiki, but it's switched off at this time.
maybe an OPEN wiki, which allows anyone to make changes
could be an idea.

the download system we've got now, altough people don't
seem to publish to it (it do it for them) has made a huge improvement
in the speed one can find stuff like docs / exporters and releases.
it also removes the linking to heaps of offsite resources of which
we have no control.

maybe an open wiki for documenation purposes and a version
controlled repository which allows people to upload new versions
with change comments would be cool.

if we had the blender tutorial in the wiki people could easily add new chapters to it and change / rectify errors.

what do the others think ?

I did not know that thread, it's an excellent idea and I'm quoting it too!

I've had lots of experience with MediaWiki software. Although it's statistically slower than, say, DokuWiki, it offers a lot of features and is pretty familiar to most people who would edit the wiki.

However, if you don't want to go with the highly recommended MediaWiki software, you can also check out the wikimatrix:
http://www.wikimatrix.org/

There was a gallery of materials around here somewhere... This could be duplicated inside this wiki. Also, I've been wanting to add what I've learned to this site, a wiki would be perfect, and would be a great learning experience.

In the Documentation menu I can see only:

- Indigo FAQs
- Indigo Reference Manual
- Indigo Tutorials
- Resources > NK Data
- Known Bugs/Issues
- Indigo Exporters.

I can't see the wiki link!

Perhaps only admins can see it, we'll wait and see what radiance has to say about it
