Things to solve and questions to you all. List will be edited and updated.
1. wiki
A better wiki (clearer structure) than can be made with Discourse (the forum software) is clearly needed. Wikia (as suggested by @epicdude312) is an option, and I have nothing against having a fan-made wiki also. But I think the main Wiki should be on the Pokitto website.
how difficult is it to have the auth for Discourse as auth for a wiki hosted on Pokitto.com server? The main site and the forum run on different servers and ISPs (GoDaddy for the main site⌠i know, but it was cheap, and DigitalOcean for the Discourse on nodeJS)
I canât help pick out a Wiki, but can say that adding a Wiki to the DeviationTx project was about the best thing we ever did for documentation.
The project is fairly popular, and the drone explosion has given it lots of extra legs - weâre the easiest option for controlling dozens of different toy-grade drones with a hobby-grade transmitter, which can turn an unflyable brick into a really nice craft.
Ok, enough promotion. Before the 5.0 release, the only place we had for user-supported contributions was the forums - which were great for discussion, but lousy for documentation. Because of the latter, people had stuff scattered across blogs and youtube videos all over the net.
This might not seem like a bad thing, but that information tended to go out of date. We got a lot of âHow do I do XXXXâ or âYYYY is brokenâ to which the response was âFixed N years ago, just updateâ. Worse yet, we got âI did what it said on and it failedâ, and the answer was "that documents an N year old version. Please read the official docs at <âŚ>.
A wiki that allows anyone to edit it (and keeps history in case itâs defaced) means people can fix or enhance these things as they get interested, as opposed to them being frozen in time when the author lost interest.
Since the pokitto is more likely to succeed if we plan for success, please plan for success by providing a place for user-contributed and editable documentation!
