I agree that the current wiki looks a bit better than www.lyx.org. But for example the introduction text of the wiki is way too long and too technical. I would expect the homepage to give an overview of the content instead of being a wiki help page.

Hi Joost,

I think you probably have a point here. I wrote that page in... oh, say around 2003, and at that time wikis weren't that common. Now I suspect that it's not really necessary to explain the concept of the wiki any more.

What kind of information do people think should be on that page? (I.e. the very first page that is shown when you go to http://wiki.lyx.org?) Please give me some ideas!

In fact, I'm not quite sure who the audience is...

A password is required to edit http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Welcome, but I'd be happy if someone came up with a suggestion. Simply create it as for instance the page

        http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Welcome-draft

/Christian

PS. If you wish to see the wiki markup of the original page, just look at
        http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Welcome?action=source
