Geeklog Documentation - Filing question

Authored by: netbuster on Tuesday, July 06 2004 @ 02:45 am EDT

I was excited to learn about this Wiki project and decided to add some personal experiences, as i just refreshed my memory by recent upgrade to 1.3.9
But, I started typing all little things I noticed and realized, doc page becomes clogged too much
I added one note here for obvious thing which happens with me always and under all hostings, and then thought one more note about checking permissions, under installation steps, there is an advise for check.php script. It is currently running not correctly, so first my move was to write it, like this
NOTE: As of 1.3.9sr1 version, running check.php will help you to identify whether permissions are set correctly only till you get an error regarding SQL. Once SQL related error occurs, download error.log and read the error. It will mean that permissions for logs/ folder are set and geeklog writes to it. But errors regarding SQL are not for you to worry at that point, omit it for now and go to the step 4

But then I removed it from there, since I started thinking that at the same spot I have to describe how to correct errors, which error is good and which is not, what to do etc. It may become a 2 page story just describing a current work of one script, while it may all change in the next version
So, having said all of this, my questions are:
1. Should we have a version related errors file or how wiki doc will change if 1.3.10 will be released and function differently
2. If someone spots a bug or an error, is Documentation is a write space for describing it and if yes, what spot? Should it be under Problems? May be version differencies? I remember from previous installations, there are numerious little but important changes from version to version and automatic updates not always catch them
3. Not related, but ... What about security? I registered my account and even without proving an email I was logged on immediately to edit stuff. What if someone will delete or add advertisement entries all over the place?

That's a problem all Wikis face. But since the Wiki tracks all the changes, spam and vandalism are easy to undo.

I will try to answer your questions, but not here. the wiki has a built in provision for discussing such issues and that would be a better place to do this. That way all the discussion will be easily accessible to all. Each page has a discuss this option. Here you can bring up questions about page layout, etc and others can see this discussion if they have similiar questions. So for my answers I would direct you here.

Thank you for your contributions and to the others who have been adding things. If you havn't been by to look come look, its starting to take shape.

Yep, first mistake today.

Geeklog Documentation - Filing question

I went as suggested to wiki pages, but I think I am still not used to its interface. Made a short gotcha add there for a test and now think how people will find it, it doesn't appear anywhere, where is a chance someone will look for it

On the other hand, I still don't think clogging main page with installation by little notes with version differencies will appropriate

Is there a way at least to show "talk" comments added to the bottom of the main page, like comments in geeklog, or, may be have significant ones as sub-pages, under the main page?
