Hi Maren,
Yes, I understand that the intent for the wiki is more for
developers. I didn't mean there should be a more prominent link for users
to get to the wiki. I meant for developers, but others could use it too.
I don't know. Maybe developers just don't need to go from website
to wiki. Maybe it's just me.
But fwiw, what I'm looking for most often is the Release Notes,
Roadmap, and I often search the wiki while trying to answer support
questions from forums. And for the latter, this is especially more for the
new-in-0.91-features, because the manual hasn't been updated, and a lot of
the new features are explained in the wiki. Once the manual is updated, I
won't be in the wiki as much.
(There IS a lot of user-focused stuff in the wiki! I started to
work on some of it, thinking maybe it could be updated and moved to the
website, like I did with the faq. But almost all of it is over my head.
I did make a list of the ones that are referenced in the faq, hoping
to at least get that much transferred over. But afaik, no one has updated
them or moved to the website.)
Thanks,
brynn
