Revision as of 04:14, 10 April 2007
This is my sandbox. Being a sandbox, everything you see here is a work in progress. However, my intention should be pretty clear from the content.
But if my intention isn't clear, here's what I propose:
- Unification
- avoid duplication of effort (inter-duplication), more efficient
- One stop shop
- More user friendly, spawn more interest
- more info (beyond supported -- spawns interest in new projects?)
- Co-ordination - / oversight ... reaching critical mass
- Formalize entries .... slightly pedantic, but necessary (think library -- they don't just throw things on shelves)
- Reduce subject fragmentation -- common problem
- Reduce duplication (intra-duplication) -- common problem --> USB example of insanity
- User Accounts / Logons
- Exporting History and discussions -- preserve
- more inviting (web and wiki)
- branding (common)
- unified look and feel (wikitable)
- new features - like sortable tables, news (web, for kernel updates, discussions)

Doing so will help you to place your information in the right location. As the wiki grows, it takes an increasing amount of effort and discipline to keep it from quickly turning into a tangled mess.

If you make a contibution and later find that your submission has been edited or moved to another area of the wiki, please don't feel offended. Everyone understands and appreciates the time and efforts you took, but bear in mind that a factual and well-organized resource for everyone interested in analog or digital TV is the ultimate aim of the LinuxTV wiki.
