Steve,
Feel free to write up better instructions. I'm sure that Brain and
Chris would be thrilled to have someone like you volunteer to do
this…..
I couldn’t have put it better myself Neil. It’s very easy to sit out there and complain,
it’s more hassle to actually do something about it.
The wiki is supposed to be a collaborative effort, the whole point of a wiki is that it is
populated and updated by everyone, not just by one or two. So if you are disappointed with
the content, please feel free to do something about it. Wiki’s only work if enough people
interested in the subject matter get stuck in, if everyone on this list did half a page
we’d have weeks of reading material available.
With regards to the portal, I appreciate there have been issues, mainly because it’s just
me doing the coding and so I did it “my way”, which not everyone agreed with. Again, it
shouldn’t be down to just one individual, I could really do with some help with the PHP
coding if anyone has the skills and time? I’ve been working on putting it all on a
subversion repository to make it easier to collaborate. A couple of people did offer to
help, but when it came down to it they went very quiet. The only person who offered to
help and actually did was Maiko who kindly wrote the code for the gateway email robot.
So please, if anyone has reasonable PHP skills and some spare time, I’d love some help!
I also setup the portal to be multi-lingual and some time ago asked for volunteers to
maintain languages other than English, guess what? it’s still only got English! So again,
if anyone would like to translate the portal to another language and can spare the time to
maintain it as it develops, please make yourself known! (you only need very minimal
knowledge of PHP to do this).
Thanks,
Chris
