Hi Chris, (please use plain text, not HTML, mail)
> Documentation should all done as a wiki. that way everyone > can access/modify it and not be a mercy of the one. :-) > Not sure if freedos.org has gone done that already... Actually we have 2 Wiki pages, both linked from www.freedos.org :-) However, there are other important places for documentation: 1. the source code 2. the readme of each app 3. the help system We also have a FAQ system and a bug- and a wish-tracking system. Problem with "free self service" pages like faq and wiki is that they get a lot of spam, so we had to install very strict filters. I think when somebody wants to use a program, he will: 1. pretend it behaves like the MS DOS counterpart 2. read app /? 3. read the help and/or readme page of the program 4. stop using the app at all 5. write the mailing list 6. look at bugzilla... I doubt that a wiki would make it into the top 10 information sources ;-). BUT there is ongoing work to improve the HELP system including a homepage with all help pages. If anybody wants to help proof-reading, please let me or Willy know :-). The updated HELP pages will be available in German and English.
