Hi,
I am rather new to Wiki. I think that users progress from beginners,
who need a simple introduction, to those who want to know all that it
is capable of. As the markup gets more powerful and complex there is a
need for a QuickStart guide of some.
Despite my appreciation of the KISS principal I think the users guide
might be most productive if it was multi structured.
Structure 1
BeginnersWiki (quickstart)-Simple Formatting as in older versions with
bullet and numbered lists, horizontal rules, with WikiWords and simple
statements of URLS
IntermediateWiki-The rest of the formatting, layout, and linking
commands.
AdvancedWiki-Passwords, the local.php file. GroupHeader's and the like.
Strructure 2
LayOut
TextFormatting
WikiWordsandLinks
AccessAndPasswords
Group and main files
Structure 3
ExamplePages or ExampleSites
All said, I am amazed at the lack of real need for complicated support
documentation. At this point mostly what I need is time to implement my
ideas for using this tool. What I probably don't need, but really want,
is a line by line explaination of the code. A wonderful tool!
Louis
