[haiku-web] Re: Making guides and essential information easily accessible

Hi Bertrand.

Hello,
As mentioned on bug #2725, essential guides/how-to are not easily accessible for new comers. And as suggested by umccullough, we should think about collecting all the existing information and make a "Guides" page listing all the existing guides/how-to.
On IRC, the other day, I discussed about that with mmadia, and we talked about the way this could be done. I suggested a knowledge base like page, which can be implemented with a Wiki engine for example. Also, we talked about making IRC support access easier. And we suggested offering a web based IRC client, like mmbits.
As I said on the bug #2725, I'm volunteer to help on this matter, so we should discuss what can I do and what I need to know to get started.
I haven't seen anyone replying to your offer. Maybe all were distracted with the recent Drupal update... Anyway, I'm all for re-organising the how-tos and have them more easily accessed. I wonder if this could be a part of the website for the online version of the user guide which would also provide a way for doing translations. See http://guide.haikuzone.net/ Another possible benefit is that we'll be able to HTML-export the how-tos as well and have them ship with Haiku images. We'd just have another category "HowTos" besides the "Welcome" and "User Guide" and collect the guides there.
Unfortunately, the mentioned site isn't yet completely ready. But now that Jorge could recuperate from the exertions at SCaLE, it shouldn't take too long. </me poking Jorge> :) 

Regards,
Humdinger
