: I moved the Tour Guide howtos over to the wiki at [[Tour Howto]], but I think I made a mess of it. The web version had two separate pages: (1) a basic howto, and (2) a collection of stories/spiels submitted by various people. That is, things to talk about at certain points along the tour. I combined both of these into a single document, but in retrospect I think that was a mistake. But the bottom line is, all the info from the web version has been moved to the wiki AND UPDATED in some places...it just needs to be reorganized again.

HowTo
  • Card and MoBo sorting howtos

I created a wiki page from the card sorting howto a little while ago. The old howto had pictures of the things the text was talking about. I left the captions we had as placeholders if anyone wants to try to add pictures. We had erased the text instuctions for sorting motherboards when we went to just a flow chart. I also created a card sorting flow chart just for fun. - Blaine

  • System Eval pages need logical progression (new evaluators should be able to go to an index page and read through both words-only and flowchart instructions and have a good idea of what to expect when they get here.)
  • Freekbox adoption teacher's general outline howto: http://web.freegeek.org/howto/education/adoption.html
  • Old tour guide howtos
I moved the Tour Guide howtos over to the wiki at Tour Howto, but I think I made a mess of it. The web version had two separate pages: (1) a basic howto, and (2) a collection of stories/spiels submitted by various people. That is, things to talk about at certain points along the tour. I combined both of these into a single document, but in retrospect I think that was a mistake. But the bottom line is, all the info from the web version has been moved to the wiki AND UPDATED in some places...it just needs to be reorganized again. I'll prolly get to it some day, unless somebody gets there first! -Pete 14:59, 1 May 2006 (PDT)
Howto Migration tracker
I'm starting a page to keep track of the migration of individual Howtos. (Kind of like this page, but specific to the Howtos.) It's at Howto Migration Progress. Pete 17:18, 20 Feb 2006 (PST)

Printable version wiki link

Find the "printable version" link. There is a nice feature - a "print-friendly" version of a wiki page - that is not easily available in the default skin. (There is a link on every page if you use, for instance, the Cologne Blue or Classic skin.) It would be nice to get that back. Pete

Update: Rob told me that pages print out in the proper format anyway, so maybe this isn't needed? I haven't tried it yet. Pete 10:00, 27 Feb 2006 (PST)
Appending &printable=yes on the (page name in the URL), should make the page cleaner for printing. (i.e. less navigation links on the page). However, doesn't appear to work with installed version of Wiki or the current theme. I could investigage further if desired. --Iain-Davidson 00:34, 4 May 2006 (PDT)


eliminate index.php from URLs

see here or here.

FYI, currently working on this for my own Wiki installation. Once solidify answer, will post solution. Do people want the '.htaccess' or 'apache.conf' solution ? --Iain-Davidson 00:53, 4 May 2006 (PDT)
Side bar navigation update

Update the side bar navigation to reflect popular navigation links.

(see MediaWiki:Sidebar (Wiki 1.5+ and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Navigation_bar)
