Categorize/Declutter Moneropedia Articles

[QuickBASIC]

Even though Kovri is going to be integrated into Monero in the future, I feel like having a lot of stub articles about Kovri topics in the Moneropedia is detrimental to it's function as instructional for new users. (Currently 34.9% of articles are Kovri-based.)

I'm not as familiar with I2P or Kovri, so I don't feel equipped to make the change myself. I think a lot of this information can be moved copied over to monero-project/kovri-site eventually, but for now I think we should consolidate it into one article. (Another possibility I've considered is to expand Moneropedia to include categories, and categorize these in a way that it's easier to navigate Monero specific topics seperate from Kovri topics.)

I believe these are all the articles that are currently Kovri related:

Base32-Address Base64-Address Canonically Unique Host Clearnet Destination Eeepsite Floodfill Garlic Encryption Garlic Routing i2np i2p i2pcontrol java-i2p Jump Service Kovri Lease Network Database Router Info SSU Subscription Transports Tunnel

Bad idea to merge into a single article. Good idea to have top-level categories.

I kinda agree with you, but with Kovri having it's own site, I think we don't have to have individual articles for things that could be categorized under a particular article. Wikipedia does this somewhat and uses section headers for each bit of information, so it's still possible to link directly to a particular subject in the article. The articles should have magnet links to jump to each section.

For instance:

Kovri Top level information of what Kovri is and does. Explaining the difference between it and I2P. (C++ vs Java, etc). _I2P (subsections explaining each of these things specifically how their implemented in Kovri) Tunnel Transport Jump Service Subscription Garlic Encryption Garlic Routing __EEP Site

I agree that many of those terms may create confusion, but I also agree that merge everything in one article is not optimal and dispersive. What about make a 'Kovripedia' on getkovri where pull this terms? IMO they are enough and they will increase with time, it would be needed in future anyway

Edit: I think labels should go in a comment

@danrmiller Any idea why the bot didn't pick up the labels from the OP?

EDIT: Apparently, enhancement is not a label. +improvement

Could we perhaps add "tags" to moneropedia articles? And improve the index page to filter/sort by tags? Advantage is an article may have multiple tags. I can see at least this tag list:

• monero
• kovri
• wallet
• daemon

In the future, maybe moneropedia should be a dedicated moneropedia.org? with links from both getmonero & getkovri? Or just a mirror on both sites?

I think monerpedia could use more work and be given more exposure once that works done. I'm agreeing with all the issues here.
