Like to Assist with Wiki.....

charli181 · 2008-02-17, 11:18

After reading/learning from this forum for the last 12 months, many of the posts I see are to do with "unable to find the answer with a search" and therefore a new post is created. I would like to offer some of my time to contribute to a FAQ based on what is in the forums already with known problems on hardware, software & configurations.

Could someone let me know if this is already handled by someone or if you would like my assistance? If so, is there a wiki sandbox to devise a suitable/practical FAQ for the MP project as there are so many variables/topics to include.

any help in the wiki is highly appreciate!

as you can see on the ::wiki mainpage:: there allready is an FAQ.

but since we now have 3 applications (MediaPortal 1 (currently 0.2.3.0 version, TV-Server (no release version yet) and MediaPortal 2 (only tech-preview released yet) i think that we should group/create the related informations like manuals, faq, troubleshooting, userguides etc. per applications.

so i started to work on a new index page which contains this grouping in a very, very basic way.
New Home test - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation

last year i tried to get some ppl into a "documentations team" which would take care about our wiki (because i can not do everything here

).
but for some reason (lack of sparetime?) nothing realy happened.

so every who is reading this, would you be interested to join the documentations team?

I too am interested in helping to develop the wiki, because I feel I should give something back (and i lack any other usefull skills)

I have written a codec guide for MP, so if you like the way i write just PM me and i will start on it. BTW if you have any specific areas which require attention let me know.
