SanDisk Sansa® e200 V2 USB?

<< < (3/5) > >>

karashata:
@Chronon: Ah, indeed you did. That should help even more then.

I suppose this little side conversation is probably unnecessary though so I'm gonna cut it out here now, heh.

In any case, the FAQ page should be clear enough now between the note on it and the links in the note, and the original question has been answered, so I think everything should be satisfactory now, yes?

@chrisjj: I understand that it's not really a good thing that it got forgotten about but keep in mind that the developers themselves focus more of their time and effort on actual development rather than making sure that everything in the wiki stays up-to-date. Wiki pages will get made and updated as necessary during development but even then older wiki pages may still get missed in some cases. I'm sure this is just one of those cases.

Chronon:
The convention is due to historical reasons as karashata explained: Originally there were no version numbers.  It would have made no sense to attach v1 to the names of these devices when they were not labeled as such.  It is made clear on the port page for c200 and e200 that they correspond to the v1 hardware with instructions on how to check whether you have v1 hardware or not.  The AMS Sansas have their own port page at SansaAMS.  Eventually, the SansaFAQ should either be expanded to include information about the AMS players or else a new FAQ made for those players.

Will do. Please make allowances for my coming from a background in which /actual/  development includes documentation.

> Wiki pages will get made and updated as necessary during development

I can't guess what determines necessary here :)

The person editing the wiki (it could be you) judges if it's necessary or not

karashata:
A necessary change could be, for example, a change being made to state that a feature's status has changed (such as USB support being added to a supported target that didn't have it at the time the documentation was last updated, to make this somewhat relevant to the original topic), or to add (or remove) information that is (or is no longer) relevant to the current status of a given topic.

As funman said, it's up to the person making the changes to determine the necessity of the changes. If one is unsure of something, one should ask about it, either in IRC or in the appropriate subforum for the given topic.

(If one is completely unsure of which subforum a topic belongs to, it's likely alright to post the question in the General Discussion area, if someone determines it should be moved later, they can always do that then.)
