Re: [Xastir] Ask not what your Wiki can do for you. Ask rather what you can do for your Wiki.
And don't forget your password! There's very limited password recovery available. In spite of the efforts of the site operator (thanks!), the wiki software doesn't make it easy to recover a lost password. It's '''much easier''' to just create a new login. I gave up getting a working password for my callsign login after forgetting it's password. You'll find my edits, efforts, ramblings, misdirections and occasional outright screw ups under 'Zotter' now. Tate KC7ZRU On Tue, December 12, 2006 1:29 pm, James Ewen wrote: >> Also...

Also... Do I need a password/account? You can view the Wiki information without an account. To be able to edit, you need to set up an account. The account is quick and easy to set up. It is needed to keep bots from wiping out Wikis... You can create an account and be able to edit the Wiki within a minute.

The wiki is accessible from the xastir home page at http://www.xastir.org/ Just click "Xastir Documentation" on the left of the page. -- Tom RussoKM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?

Left to itself, however, it'll just become a cobweb site of stale information of no use to anyone. Right now, there is a very short list of people working on the wiki pages. The main documentation page is a half-populated skeleton of information, there are some half-formatted pages that look like cut-and-pastes from existing pages but with no functioning images or links, and (on the upside) there are some very good pages on system specific installation. There are two ways to fix this: wait until someone else populates the thing, or start adding to it yourself. Right now, the wiki is not a substitute for the flat files that come with a distribution tarball or cvs checkout, but if enough distributed effort were applied it could be a much, much more readable and searchable way to get information to the user community. As one of the original skeptics of the utility of a Wiki over flat ASCII files, I have been trying to prove myself wrong by working on getting several of the wiki pages to be complete and informative, to update them with additional hints and tips as I stumble on them, and to tweak the organization to make it easier to find information. Please pitch in and help make this thing as useful to as many new and casual users as we can. Yea, but you should have put a link here somewhere so us fat-dumb-ugly ones can find it.
