SFML wiki is there

[Laurent]

Hi all

I've setup the SFML wiki :
http://www.sfml-dev.org/wiki/en/index

This wiki will be a shared space to put all your contributions about SFML, so feel free to fill it.

You don't have to create a new account, just use your forum login and password to connect to the wiki.

That's all I have to say, you can go explore it and come back to discuss

Seems like I'm the first one who visited it !
I can't create a page on it. How do you do that ?

[Redien]

Log in, visit an uncreated page and click the "Create this page" button to the left.

But the wiki looks good. I'll post something as soon as I've got something to put up there.

I have added a first tutorial on how to download the source code from SVN as this seems to be a common question. It can be found under the "Tutorials" section or here: http://www.sfml-dev.org/wiki/en/miscellaneous/getsvnversion.

I would like to come with a suggestion for the wiki though; it would be a good idea to use the namespace functionality for separate categories on the wiki. As it is now all pages are stored under either :wiki:en or :wiki:fr and this might become messy when there are a lot of pages on the wiki.

Wouldn't it be better to create a new namespace for every category? I put the page I created under the namespace "miscellaneous", which would then be a part of the namespace "tutorials" etc.

I would have changed this myself but the main page is locked.

Great, I was planning to add such a tutorial

I actually use namespaces. I just noticed that it was not working as intended : on the french wiki, all source codes created locally under fr/sources stay under fr/ instead of fr/sources/. Apparently I missed something. I'll try to fix that

By the way, why en/miscellaneous/getsvnversion and not en/tutorials/miscellaneous/getsvnversion, or even en/tutorials/getsvnversion ? (I don't think sub-categories are really necessary)

[Laurent]

Ok, I've moved the pages, fixed the links and added a paragraph in the rules page

[Redien]

Great.
No I don't think subcategories are necessary either.

Well when I made the link to the page I created the miscellaneous category in the current namespace, I was thinking that when you add the tutorial namespace it would become en/tutorials/miscellaneous/getsvnversion.
But on second thought, the page wouldn't move if you just updated the link.
Logical error by me.

The Wiki is for code-cxamples, tutorials, howtos and information about SFML-based-projects?

[Laurent]

Eveything related to SFML that might be useful
There's no restriction, the main goal is really to allow users to share interesting stuff.
