Re: Apple II Wiki - any news?

["Warren Ernst" <wernst@gmail.com>]

So I've been thinking about the overall layout of the Wiki...

What is it you're hoping it will turn into?

I know what *I* am hoping for: that it eventually becomes *the* main
source of *all* Apple II knowledge that we can commit to writing over
time. Sort of both an Apple II Encyclopedia, and a "How do I get
started with this thing?" site.

If that's true, then it could use a little more structure, so that it
makes more sense for someone coming into it where to start writing new
information down.

I was thinking about something like there being an intro page
describing the wiki, and then something like the following main
sections:

*Getting Started (this is mostly what's there now)
*Apple II Models (also what's there now)
*Apple II Hardware
**Peripherals
**Peripheral Cards (I just added some stuff to get this started)
*Apple II Software
**Games
**Utilities
**AppleWorks
*HowTos
**Making Disks from Archives
**Etc.
*Links to other Apple II Resources
* Help (how to use, add to, and edit a Wiki)

In other words, the Apple II Wiki becomes equal parts: History Book,
Link Library, Hardware Encyclopedia and Instruction Repository,
Software Encyclopedia and Instruction Repository, Apple II HowTos, and
"Go To Site" for people who are rediscovering their Apple II's after a
decade of disuse.

Just my two cents. Tell me you'd rather it not go this way, and I'll
shut up. ;-)
