Unable to fork and pull-request the wiki

[kirkster96]

Hello,

Is it possible to move all the wiki pages into a 'docs' directory so that I can suggest edits?

https://stackoverflow.com/a/11481887

There is great content on this repository and I would love to contribute. 😊

Thanks,

Cameron

Oh I had no idea that you couldn't do a pull request on github wiki. Thanks for raising this and I'd love for you to contribute. Let me go through the link you shared and see what's the best way to do this.

[zangman]

The link you shared is a pretty good idea. But I guess you'll need to first create a repository on your own account and then let me know to merge from your repo to mine. I'm happy to try it out if you want to give it a try.

[kirkster96]

Sounds good to me! Thank you for following up. I will work on creating a pull-request that contains changes that bring exactly what is in the wiki pages into the repo.

I can follow-up with a second pull-request that contains my suggestions to improve the wiki pages.

[zangman]

Thank you for the PR, it's much appreciated! I'll take a look tomorrow and update here.

In the meantime, could you please follow the steps in the CONTRIBUTING.md file? Apologies, but it is a requirement from my employer before I can accept PRs.

[kirkster96]

I have now completed the steps in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

[zangman]

@kirkster96 Thank you so much for the amazing PR and for filling out the CONTRIBUTING.md file. It looks great. Apologies for the slow action on this.

I'm now debating whether I should just scrap the wiki and keep everything in the docs folder. Might be easier for others to contribute and less overall work for me in copying it from there to the wiki. Thoughts?

[kirkster96]

No problem, I am happy to see that the PR was accepted!

I think that removing the wiki is the direction to go. Yesterday, I was following along with the Building SoC Design page and I found a link in the page content that points to the wiki page. So there are still more links that need to be updated with another PR.

I will take some time to go through all the content carefully and make sure all the links are no longer pointing to the wiki. In the mean time, it may be a good idea to keep the wiki around in order to keep the links from breaking.

Haha yea - I noticed that after I approved the PR as well. I fixed a couple of them, but there are quite a few. Thanks for taking the time to review and fix them, really appreciate your help.

Here's a quick grep of all the files and all the places where it needs to be updated:

Having just taken the easy route and flashed a ready made image, I have a suggestion to add to the part of the readme that relates to doing that, mostly just linking to the part of the relevant page that explains what to do with the image:

ON PAGE:

README.md https://github.com/zangman/de10-nano#readme

UNDER: https://github.com/zangman/de10-nano#can-i-just-get-the-image-i-dont-want-to-go-through-the-guide-to-get-debian-on-my-de10-nano

Can I just get the image? I don't want to go through the guide to get Debian on my DE10-Nano. -> Sure, You can download the SD Card image from the releases page.

ADD:

See Creating the SD Card Image

( link this to "Writing to SD Card" on de10-nano/docs/Building-the-SD-Card-image.md https://github.com/zangman/de10-nano/blob/master/docs/Building-the-SD-Card-image.md#writing-to-sd-card )

ON PAGE:

Building-the-SD-Card-image.md

UNDER:

"Writing in Windows" https://github.com/zangman/de10-nano/blob/master/docs/Building-the-SD-Card-image.md#writing-in-windows

ADD:

Rufus can also write from a zipped image file, without needing to unzip it.

@Andy2No Thanks for sharing - would you be okay to send a PR with these changes? I can review and accept it. You'll need to complete the steps in CONTRIBUTING.md file first though.

[Andy2No]

At first reading, I'm not happy with the terms of google's CLA.

I am happy for all or any part of any suggestion I make to be used by someone else though, whether or not it's with the same exact wording. I'm happy for copyright to pass to whoever chooses to implement my suggestions, especially since they are just suggestions.

[kirkster96]

@zangman sorry it took so long. I became very busy with work. I hope that these changes complete this issue.

Let me know if you see something that needs to be corrected and I can go through it again.

[zangman]

@kirkster96 Amazing, thank you so much! Really appreciate your effort in cleaning up and making this wiki more user friendly.

[Andy2No]

@kirkster96 In trying to read through it all, I'm still getting a little lost because there isn't a consistent link at the bottom of each page to take me to a next one.

I think it would help if the whole thing was linked as a book, so that after reading one page you can go straight to the next one - or a next one. At present, the last page of each sub section just has a back link, to the previous page in that sub section.

Also, at the bottom of the main readme page, it would be good if it had a link to either the table of contents, or the first linked page in that table - or maybe both, but people who've used github before are probably quite comfortable with clicking the Code tab to get back to the readme, so I'd suggest the "Next" link at the bottom of the readme should link to the "Getting Started" page.

Thank you, I will create a new issue and work on creating the nagivation links. I will make a new PR for that when I am done. I think this issue can be closed now that the PR has been accepted.

[zangman]

@Andy2No I had some time today - so I updated the nav links to link to the next and previous section as you suggested. I don't think Next needs to go to the README as there is a link to the TOC on every page.

@kirkster96 FYI
