Hi everyone,
I installed Mediawiki (Deleted) and Dokuwiki on the Wings 3D website to house the new Documentation Project.
To start adding content, all you have to do is register.
The syntax is the same as Wikipedia and Wikibooks, and there are lots of help pages available on how to get pages looking organised and professional.
I would have liked to have some guidelines in place before people get started, but as GreyTery says elsewhere, wikis evolve over time and are very sandboxy by design. Just keep in mind that the idea is to end up with a unified style, and that eventually some consensus on convention will evolve. So if at first there are a bunch of "stubs" and false starts, don't worry. At some point maybe we can freeze new additions and focus on cleanup and styling.
I'll say for my part, that I am not looking to lead this project, though I don't mind being part of the process.
My hope is that the Wings community will get behind this effort and make it happen. And if you are reading this, then you are part of the Wings community
