Server Help

Mine GO BOOM

I setup a quick Wiki located at wiki.minegoboom.com. Its using MediaWiki right now.

Create your accounts if you want to help out. Right now, its running in whatever format they come in after installation. Those that would like to assist in administering the site, post about it here. Don't contact me privately, as this will be a group effort for the good of ASSS's documentation.

Feel free to create new pages, even if its only a page explaining about how something could go there. If you've made some ASSS modules, create a page explaining about your module, and links to it. Just some ideas in how people can expand and fill this sucker up.

For now, file uploading is disabled. Thats what the forums are for.

I'm also looking into having the same account/password for both the forums and the Wiki. Like I said, this is only a beta.

Hm, just now when I finished my "site" you're putting up a wiki eh?

I'd like to help, guess I could just paste my ASSS C module guide there and let people edit/improve it.

Really, module source should go on the forum.

However, writing a mini-howto for your module would be a perfect use for the wiki.

Blarg, multiple threads! Post this in that FAQ thread because I posted there about Cypher's bug reporter before I read this.

That create account link is TINY! I could barely find it. It's in the upper right, fyi.

It doesn't show how to make one specific module, just how to get started.

Smong · Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2005 6:46 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

I'd like to help too.

I hope the front page gets sorted, the only way to navigate the site is via recent changes or blind guesses in the search.

Edit: Aargh, I can imagine spending hours on this wiki, it's depleting my bash.org reading time

I'm currently trying to format the pages a little better and provide some sort of organization.

Smong · Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:00 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

Now I hope there is a skin, the horizontal lines sort of break up the flow when reading...well uh, yeah.

Anyway I just added a page, then clicked the 'what links here button' and I'm like wow intelligent wiki it's added it to the tools section, then I look further and you Pests added it $$.

Yeah, I was bored and decided to see if anyone else was working on a page I could.. help out.

This wiki looks awesome. Thanks everyone for adding all that info so quickly.

When I have some time, I'll try and go through and fix up any mistakes that I see, and put up some of my own documentation and sample code there.

Dr Brain · Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2005 11:10 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

Is it just me, or is the date/time wrong on the wiki?

Also, I think we should stick with the coding style that's in the ASSS source, rather than introduce all of our own preferred styles.

Smong · Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2005 11:13 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

I think it may be off by a couple of minutes, otherwise it is perfect for me. Have you changed you time zone in preferences?

Pests · Novice Joined: Feb 24 2003 Posts: 84 Offline

I've done alot of organization and reformatting of the articles since I saw the new wiki yesterday. If you have any complaints on how its set up or think it should be a different way then state how you think it should be layed out. Right now I feel its better then what we had.

Yeah, I think it's looking better slowly by slowly..

Yah. That's what I noticed. Added to the fact that a date display didn't work exactly like I expected, I thought the day might be one day forward too.

Smong · Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2005 9:48 am *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

One thing I have noticed is this is becoming like a true wiki, there are loads of pages with only one or two interesting bits on them. The pages also load slower than other websites (ok so it's loading stuff, formatting it, resolving links etc) so I think a single faq page should be made with every question there is under subheadings. Also some questions could easily fit in more than one faq section (server configuring, module configuring, not much difference).

CypherJF · Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2005 10:13 am *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

i'm on a modem connection, and it doesn't seem to load any slower than any other page... but I guess the major problem i'd forsee is different formatting of pages, or getting lost somewhere...

Smong · Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2005 10:18 am *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

On this page http://wiki.minegoboom.com/index.php?title=Special:Categories it would be nice to see how many pages each category has. It may help people decide which category to look at first in search of an answer if they see more pages in one category than another.

I've tried to maintain the same format across pages.

Can we upload files onto the wiki, ie: screenshots? also, maybe i wrote this down wrong. When I refered to ChatNet that's really smong's name for the protocol; but grel calls it the simple-chat. How do we want to establish the difference between the two.

simple-chat is the limited protocol that grel designs and implements, chatnet is the overall protocol that can be built upon zone-by-zone basis. (not like there are any of these that i know of.. but.)

challenge / responce / comments? -- feel free to modify the wiki appropriately.
