[Xerte] Wiki

Anyone else's taxonomy we can adapt?

i.e. when I'm setting up nav for courses, I usually take a look at what Microsoft has done, both for prior user familiarity and the fact that MS has spent a few million on human/machine interface research....

I think the wiki Mark has set up is great. We need to start to
think about the sort of infomration you all want to see there and start to put some
basic structure together. Far better that we have one place for all the
documentation for all the different types of users: toolkits authors, xerte
developers, open-source code contributers, template developers and so on.

I am guessing it would be helpful to orgainse infomration by
role and task (i.e. I am a Toolkits author and I want to install the
application…)

Hi Julian

Apologies for not responding
sooner – was delivering Toolkits training all day yesterday.

When we were discussing the
use of a wiki off-list recently I was thinking that would be for developing the
spec for the support material rather than the actual support material. But as
has been suggested subsequently an installation of MediaWiki might do both http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki
as an example a lot of the moodle documentation is provided via MediaWiki http://docs.moodle.org/en/Main_Page

I think there needs to be
documentation for people developing the software, and documentation for people
using the software. It could be in the same place, or in different places as
the two groups will have quite different requirements. Googlecode happened to
have a convenient wiki which is what Pat has started to use today. Sourceforge
have also just approved my project request, so now is a good time for us to
decide google code or sourceforge once and for all. I might set up a project on
soirceforge anyway adn then we can vote or something. You can see the
google code pages already. I like the simplicity a lot - it fits well with our
FWS design principles for the software itself.

Mark - how would we add users to the wiki you
set up? That (or something similar) should probably host the bulk of the user
docs, and be the one place for info on using Xerte in its various forms. I
would love it if someone were to step forward and take on managing that space.

We have several people primed to start
creating documentation and I'm keen it doesn't become fragmented. 

Alistair and Ron: would a wiki meet your
needs? wiki.xerte.net in particular.

10 repositories.

1 for those that speak binary, 1 for those
that don't - or grom my take so far on the installs of XOT, we have the
sysadmin types who would want the scope to do whatever they wanted, and the
dabblers who want something a little more light.

Totally your call, but I'm not sure about the facility of splitting
locations...
