Re: Starting M11 Manual revision We probably need more than one working on it, I can begin collecting useful stuff too.

Re: Starting M11 Manual revision I've placed some rough notes.

Good start.

Re: Starting M11 Manual revision I totally forgot about your guide. I placed it in total so when the Editor goes over the page he/they can clean it up.
Thanks for the heads up. _________________ "There is no "slippery slope" toward loss of liberties, only a long staircase where each step downward must first be tolerated by the American people and their leaders." Alan K. Simpson |

Re: Starting M11 Manual revision As I started with Mepis (6), I stumbled through various issues, and asked questions on this forum (the best I have encountered) and was frequently advised to read the manual and/or the wiki. I did - but usually was not able to find the answer, even though it was likely in there, somewhere. Then one day, I browsed thru the entire manual with no particular issue in mind. At last! I began to understand what the manual was all about. So, perhaps to suggest a casual, non-emergency trip through the book of knowledge would help the beginner?

Re: Starting M11 Manual revision Talking about wiki, is anybody going to do a review? Is anybody taking over the Wiki project, I think the last time we had a little bit too ambitious goal of setting 3 or 4 wikis for different versions of MEPIS, in my opinion we should clone the Wiki and then purge from one the info that doesn't pertain to the current version of MEPIS and direct people with older MEPIS versions to the old wiki.
Some logical steps: 1. duplicate wiki 2. start to delete old stuff (some is already tagged as "old") and tag {{review}} for the entries that need to be discussed, reviewed by more people before deleting or updating the entries to make them current. _________________ Nobody is born with knowledge, knowledge comes from manuals and Google (and our beloved Wiki) |

Re: Starting M11 Manual revision It's needed for sure, just haven't had the time or energy to organize it.
