Hi Graeme,

Here is an example of what the wiki might look like.  Obviously the main
page needs to be set up, editing permissions tightened up so that a user
would need to log in before being able to edit ... and of course some
content would be nice :).

If you want to move this forward you would need to register ArgyllWiki.org
or ArgyllCMSWiki.org.  If you have a hosting service then it could go up on
that, otherwise I would be happy to host it (no additional cost).

Robert

The screen size shouldn't be a problem - I've developed & tested it
on a variety of screen sizes, and it seems to scale & adjust OK so far.

The USB support is the more hairy part, which is why I
recommend trying with ColorMeterDemo before committing to anything.

I know for instance that a USB bug that's been reported on some
Linux boxes when using the ColorMunki Spectro, also seems to be present
on some (but not all) Android hardware. It's something I'll
have to try and track down and fix if I can (or get the Linux
driver fixed and hope it trickles down to Android).

I guess I'm not very familiar with Wiki's, but I certainly take
the point that I can't cover everything myself, and a Wiki may
well be better for keeping track of the current state of things,
rather than trolling back through a mailing list archive.

I'll look into it.

Actually, I don't find that too bad. The majority of the time when someone
asks a "dumb" question, it indicates that the documentation isn't as good as
it should be, so if I fix the doco in response, I seem to get fewer
questions
in the future.

Graeme.
