DOCUMENTATION

We definitely need better documentation. I would not mind helping out whenever I could but my resources are limited/ Seems like to Wiki is currently not working.

The wiki practically contained no articles. It was also not maintained by the bygfoot team. If there is a lot of demand for a wiki, we might be able to provide one though.

Good idea

Postby Jeffrey » Sun Feb 01, 2009 2:16 am

I think it would be a great idea. I think we need some kind of documentation and the wiki is probably the fastest and best way to do it. Although we should restrict to users with accounts to avoid issues that small wikis can face.

vote

Is there a way to vote on documentation? I really think it would be useful to have it and would not mind working on it.

I don't think we need to vote. All decent projects need documentation, and Bygfoot is nothing if not decent!

I suggest you just have a look at what's already available on the website and what isn't and just start documenting or correcting away, and we'll add your stuff to the wiki or whatever it is that Gunnar is planning to create for doc purposes.

And don't be afraid of mistakes, we'll review your docs before releasing.

When writing documentation for my own project on Linux I usually use the Gimp, since I often want to draw on the pictures and stuff. It's a bit hard to find the menu item since they changed it, though. It's in File->Create->Screenshot...

The wiki has been up at this location for quite a while, our old documentation should probably be copied there, any takers? ;-)

Pre 1.9 documentation is still on our servers at http://bygfoot.sourceforge.net/old_site/doc/fulldoc.html The 1.9 documentation which is also still correct, can be found at http://bygfoot.sourceforge.net/new/documentation/
