No GitHub Wiki #901

Open towerofnix opened 9 years ago

towerofnix commented 9 years ago

That stops me - and anybody else - from working on a wiki. :P

cycomachead commented 9 years ago

What would be the goals of the Wiki?

Also is github really the best place for a wiki? I guess that depends on how we want to use it... A "help" style wiki could be nice, but I'm not so sure that belongs on Github.

brianharvey commented 9 years ago

Yes, Liam, say more about what sort of wiki you have in mind. But bear in mind that eventually we'll have our own Scratch-like web site supporting forum, wiki, and all that.

bb010g commented 9 years ago

I'd recommend setting up some sort of external wiki (DokuWiki is my recommendation), as while you can make great GitHub wikis, you're limited by it being static on GitHub. A normal wiki engine has a lot more flexibility.

cycomachead commented 9 years ago

I think the thing is -- we're (semi-) actively working on a more interactive snap.berkeley site, so it'd be nice if everything were integrated. But I guess it all depends on times and use cases.

I could see a developer facing wiki on github being useful.

towerofnix commented 9 years ago

The wiki would be a place to put tutorialson various topics, as well as explain how some of the blocks work, especially the ones that people from Scratch likely won't understand.

Also.. where's the GitHub repo for the Snap Site 3? :P

brianharvey commented 9 years ago

Ha ha. Btw when are you coming to a Scratch conference or something so we can talk f2f?

towerofnix commented 9 years ago

Nope, I'm not.. ;-;

Unless there happens to be one some place in eastern Canada.. I don't think so. :P One day!

Also.. where's the GitHub repo for the Snap Site 3? :P

brianharvey commented 9 years ago

Do you mean the repo for BYOB3? There isn't any. Strange as it may seem, Jens made it without git.

Eastern Canada is basically Boston. Come next summer!

towerofnix commented 9 years ago

No, I mean the repo for http://snap.berkeley.edu.

Maybe.. ;)

brianharvey commented 9 years ago

Oh. Sorry... no repo. We're not expecting a lot of development on this site, since we're hoping it will pretty soon be obsolete, replaced by a full Scratch-like site. (Sorry.)

towerofnix commented 9 years ago

The repo for the future Snap! site*
