I would say: «close the Puppy wiki's»!
There are 3 viable Wiki's:
- didiwiki (a real Puppy Linux conquest, but, sorry, not available in the net...)
- wikimedia wiki from Wikipedia
- dokuwiki
all the other are guaranteed to fail
@Lobster: probably you did work for a long time for the wiki but other people also! months, perhaps years... for NOTHING : someone did change the Wiki machine and years later you read
«Many thanks @01micko ... and to @Raffy» and your work until months or perhaps years did disappear definitively through the changes....
that is absolutely not exactly that what a community have to be (especially abandon one ot the best wiki machine, dokuwiki, Puppy did use dokuwiki, for ...
... nothing... and let behind a lot of under sacrifice of long time did already be done!)
a wiki needs no "teatcher" (=moderator) but redactors making with enthusiasm that shiny job (it is not usual to see a notice: "good article! it was useful or determinant for me" in a wiki...) (*1
and a wiki needs a structure (never evident in the Puppy wiki after the abandon of the "wiki with left rand with the hierarchy", as you right remember, made in wiki external code, ok, it is true...).
Somebody did erase the structure because it was written in wiki code and not in wiki interpreter! I was an evident great error!
After years of loosing of time for the Puppy wiki (I did offer the same time in the SliTaz Wiki with more success under analogue start conditions: both were dokuwiki, but the firtst Slitaz Wiki did not have some wiki external pages...) I am more and more convinced of the usefulness of wikis: if wikis were consulted, half of the forum discussions would not take place
... and a lot of developers would have to develop different as they do because nobody would else understand how their quirky creations works
(*2
Today, if I have to explain somewhat about Puppy, I do that directly in that forum, and already a long time not in the wiki anymore
Perhaps the best solution would be to centralize all infos in YOUR WIKIBOOK at wikimedia and don't use the separate wiki at all any more! learn to write some "templates" at wikimedia. It is not easy, needs long experimentation (*3, creativity and a real lot of work but very effective and you can centralize the best information possible...
we also have a great problem of communication at the Puppy community: sometimes a enormous quantity of «stickies» in some forum branch (incl. foreing language) but no sticky for SOME ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS OF ORGANISATION. Today, I would erase all absolutely sticky flags excepted some concerning fundamental questions:
- where are our depositories official or not
- where are our other sites and private or personal initiatives
- how to prepare an adequate memory drive to start Puppy with success
- (possible) reasons why the Puppy start can fail
- security of Puppy
- security of users, espec. children, special stuff for them
- find help (Google and other, Wikipedia, other global or special wiki's)
- contribute and develop
But each an adequate forum subdivision and you never need some forum sticky any more
(the readers are getting rid of so many stickies!)
Actual users
(*1 the productivity of that forum consist realistic in the evidence that all what is not spam is allowed or tolerated!
(*2 some Puppy's where Rox is not the official filer any more, Seamonkey did be abandon, JWM can not be yet activate etc. and some more! Else if the end product is de facto more an elephant...
(*3 as far the wikimedia "authority" give you the time to experiment (the wikimedia authority is not really a good example for being patient...)
