Title: Re: Wiki Wesnesday - Starts 2PM EST
Post by: rgcrypto on March 23, 2015, 01:43:43 am
With all the amazing brain power present in this forum, how about using it to power through the wiki and upgrade it?

The more of us, the faster we can get this thing done!


I propose to start at 2PM EST. We can communicate in the "smoking room" of mumble.

If you don't have access the the bitshares wiki, please let us know.

 +5% +5% +5% I vote yes for wiki Wednesday!

And I would agree that having a group mumble would really help to coordinate a group effort and get the page updated in real time. Even if we only do this every other week it will be worth it imo!

Good start to raise the awareness.
The wiki does not get enough attention imho.

For example: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=9299.0

I'm in. Wednesdays are the best for me too, the markets are dead on wednesday.
 
Wiki Wednesdays!
Maybe a skype or hangouts group too?
I haven't use mumble, but someone could just patch the audio into a second computer..
 
Please send me an invite and I'll be there, just name the day and time, I want to help in every way possible.

http://beyondbitcoinshow.com/mumbleinfo/ that should help you connect to mumble. It's a really neat tool where we can be a lot of people.

 +5% great idea to give the BitShares wiki a much needed overhaul. I also like the idea of deploying a gitbooks and reworking the essentials into that format as a refactoring exercise.

And while we are on the topic of wikis, anyone that feels like proofreading the rough draft to submit to wikipedia.org feel free: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zCMUJtqB3Gm9Za9plByINf_MRy0oPr5zuEU5BpyhvRQ/edit#

Please use strikethroughs and separate text color if you want to suggest edits. Thanks.

I was planning to work on the wiki some back in february, and fuzzy set me up an account, and then bter happened and I couldnt even think about BTS for weeks without pain.  I'll try to improve the page about how the market peg works soon.

Are the two wiki's the same content?.. Is there duplicate detail and then some difference in detail for example installing?

https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/wiki
cf
http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/Main_Page

I've already wondered the github is the more reliable one.

No, totally different content.  github is almost entirely produced by devs.  wiki.bitshares.org was 98% community 2% devs. 

At one point I had stuff of a technical nature but I removed it as it wasn't working..

+5% to everyone.  The wiki is fairly high page ranked etc now. It needs to be saved.  For the end user, AFAIK it is still the best resource.

Would love some help with the Wiki:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zCMUJtqB3Gm9Za9plByINf_MRy0oPr5zuEU5BpyhvRQ/edit#
 
My edits are in anarcho-red color. I'll resume on it tomorrow, it's getting late here in Munich, I gotta eat somethin.
robrigo and I (with help from the community) should have the Wiki done in a few weeks if we all look it over....
Please and thanx :)

Thanks Ken. Just a heads up the horizontal line marks the start of my take on the intro paragraph. Also I'm hoping to have a draft submitted much earlier than May 1st... ASAP even!

Me too, I never post a date that can be breached tho. I know we can probably have it done in a few days actually and by the looks of it, our Wiki will be twice as informative as Ethereum's. We have a lot of stuff to brag about as you'll see from all my edits in there :

If you don't mind,

I will continue updating/editing http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/BitShares/Howto  (Getting Started)

Planned edits/updates:
1) Updates graphics/text for the latest client.

Planned additions

1) Starting with a webwallet, as in https://wallet.bitshares.org/#/unlockwallet

2) Starting with a light client (I've got no experience with light clients yet)

I should complete most of the edits tomorrow (when I have time).

Sounds good @fundomatic we should have the wikipedia page ready for upload in the next week or so.
 
If you have some content we can use for the wikipedia page feel free to PM it to me or merge it yourself with our work here:

Awesome job!

Could add a description to add private keys manually (best would be a link to a different article) for early investors to show how to claim their genesis stake?

Thanks, I've put some structure to the page. Would review, add later.

I'm not sure I understand enough about.

So, I might let someone else add it.

Be sure to update the wiki to note that Bitshares is an MLM scam now.

lol, will make it top of the page. That should earn us some trust. May be the idea is so great we don't really need the wiki.
