Hello Folks! I'm new to this project and excited to be here. I used to work for the Linux Foundation as a sysadmin where part of my job was to curate and run infra for the wikis of several open source projects sponsored by the LF.
I am no longer employed or associated with them, but I would love to contribute to a project and I am excited about LEDE. I am willing to pitch in and help with the wiki. Dokuwiki is what I would highly recommend as well; I like its markup language and I REALLY like the access control options, which Mediawiki simply doesn't support without poorly maintained extensions. My main question at this point is how much of the existing OpenWRT and other Linux documentation can be ported in to a LEDE wiki? If I'm not mistaken, there's generally feature parity between OpenWRT and LEDE right now aside from LEDE having support for more devices. Can we simply start porting the OpenWRT wiki over and edit, clean and make corrections to the content? I also feel like it's important to go into this project with a solid goal in mind - some wikis, such as the PFSense wiki, are all about accessible step-by-step instructions to set up common network and application configurations with the distro's specific interfaces, while explaining details about the different setups in an accessible way. DD-WRT has similar documentation. Is this a goal of the LEDE project? If it is, the wiki is a big project and it will need a lot of care and feeding as things change, and there are a lot of improvements that can be made on the existing OpenWRT content. If it's instead meant to be a repository of information about LEDE-specific features which are not common in other Linux distributions, along with links to relevant documentation from other projects which LEDE is leveraging, the wiki becomes simpler, smaller, and easier to keep completely up-to-date, but less friendly to newcomers. -- Josh On Fri, Sep 9, 2016 at 11:34 AM, Thomas Endt <tm...@gmx.de> wrote: >> I recommend we use Dokuwiki as the primary means of maintaining the >> LEDE documentation. > > That would be my first choice, too. > However, if there is another wiki that has significant advantages over > Dokuwiki, I wouldn't mind to try something new. > > One thing to keep in mind when chosing a new wiki software: At least two > people are needed that bring some knowledge about this software with them. > > > _______________________________________________ > Lede-dev mailing list > Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org > http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev -- Josh Farwell #971-235-4868 josh.farw...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
