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)

Tech

eliminate index.php from URLs

• WikiMedia:Rewrite_Rules
• discussion.dreamhost.com.

• Do we requier the '.htaccess' or 'apache.conf' solution?
• Will changing the Url mess with our email archives linking to it?
