Wiki Cleanup

--- Quote from: bascule on February 12, 2008, 04:56:18 AM ---Is this the time (and it may well not be) to update the manual with the useful snippets of info in the Wiki and then delete the pages. I know when I first started using Rockbox that I found some little bits of info in the Wiki that were not in the manual about how specific things worked, or config options that are not well known.

I did a bit of this while filtering through the pages and added a few ToDos to the tracker as a result. The main GeneralFAQ also soaked up quite a bit of information that was scattered about.
As for the out-of-date pages, I guess we have a few desirables:
1) Keep them for future reference and usability (I resurrected the MenuLayoutDiscussion page recently, and was happy not to have had to create a new page for it), yet...
2) Make sure that they aren't perceived as up-to-date information, either by excluding them from searches or by simply adding a very bold and very colourful header indicating their status.
I suppose the simplest solution would be to have a "Museum" section at the end of the documentation index which includes all of the aforementionned pages with notices added to them.
The first step, though, is for someone with the knowledge required, to go through the long list I posted and decide which of those pages should be part of the main documentation index and which should be put in the out-of-date section, because this is something I can't do.

Edit:
Okay, I've done all that I can. The Rockbox Museum is open for business. There are no longer any orphaned pages floating around in the wiki (unless I missed some, which I'm sure is possible).
MarcGuay:
I thought I'd cash in on some of this "let's clarify the documentation" momentum and ask that someone with the knowledge sync up these two wiki pages:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/FlashingRockbox
and
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/BootBox
Davide-NYC:
I just want to applaud your work as well. Good stuff!
FWIW: I try to revisit the pages I started every few months and try to "clean them up".
Thanks!

Belatedly, I've updated these Wiki pages with my understanding of how the Archos machines can be flashed with Rockbox. If this is satisfactory, maybe details from the BootBox page can be included in the Archos manuals.
Strife89:
I recently went through most of the plugin pages that had next to zero content (!Documentation! flags). This coming week I hope to work on the Battery FAQ and update it for batteries in general (not just the Archos, but not really any specific device either).
EDIT: I should note that I have NOT removed the !Documentation! flags on any Wiki pages (because I don't know whether they need anything more or not). Also, in the Wiki, I am known as MichaelCarr.
