Some thoughts on making it easy and providing motivation:
1) Revdoc moderators, who also read the list a lot, can make it very
easy for folks who contribute a good suggestion on the list. The
moderator can look up the correct URL for a given wiki page for
whatever
command or function is under discussion, then respond to the post
on the
list with the link to that page, and a gentle suggestion like "Hey,
awesome advice, can you go here www.whateverTheURLis.org and add it to
the wiki. This means, the person being asked to contribute can just
click on the link, and voila, they have started.
Saves time - point to a FAQ - questions are always posted many times
over.
2) Praise should be given on this list whenever someone adds something
useful to the wiki
3) The wiki itself should be as clean and easy to scan as possible.
Some
folks have a penchant for messy, cluttered web pages, just packed with
all sorts of info. We need to make sure this wiki is very easy to
scan,
so as not to turn people off when they first go to it.
This would be in addition to all the other good ideas that have been
suggested for making it user friendly.
Agreed.
At the risk of being completely undemocratic - and more in the just-
go-ahead-and-do-it philosophy - I just registered the domains:
- www.revdocs.org / net / com
I suggest we point them all at the same place as people often forget
which ending to use. If a better name comes up or is suggested fine -
no big loss :)
