Default Help wanted: the FAQ system

The wiki ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com ) contains a tiny start of what could become a very nice FAQ. I do not have time over the next weeks to expand what's there, and appeal to any and all with some time on their hands to please see if they can add structure, or just questions and their answers. Feel free to change it until it's good, that's what wikis are for.

Nice post peter

Question for you

How would you feel if you had spent over 2 months building a wiki for the blueangel, posting the files to the ftp site, to find that they got deleted on the 16 .

Pm 2 admins, one picking up the pm but not repliying, the orher not picking up the pm.

Rebuilding the trashed ftp site, re linking the wiki links, Posting to the ftp non public thread, reading that it will happen soon, watching the ftp site getting trashed again (today) and then reading your reqest?

Ps you have a pm from me datedted 16 march, feel like picking it up?

Why this beautifull FAQ (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...=HTC_Blueangel) is not visible for ordinary people? I found it by accident.

But it is!

Top of screen to the right is the link wiki.xda-developers.com

On that page under HTC Device you will find Blueangel

The Blueangel Link gets you to that page

Never thought that behind these WiKi activities this FAQ is hidden - put another link under this WiKi.XDA-devloppers.com link with something like "How Blue Angel works" or "Blue Angel FAQ" or "Knowledgebase". So a person who visits for the first time immediatly sees this fine product of hard labor.

Wiki like the forum is user driven. In short if no user feels the need or want to update wiki then it just does not happen.

You dont need to be a moderator to add pages in wiki, you dont even need to be good in english for somebody down the line will add or correct your page.

I have to say - that's a real shame.

There's a lot of information requested on these forums that has been requested before - but often it's buried deep in a confusing thread (most recently the splash image tweaks for the HTC Wizard - I have no idea what util tweaks what splash).

I just created a Wiki page (search for my username, I guess - it's not really linked from anything much yet), and I plan to create more related to the Wizard as time becomes available.

Wikis are inherently much better at giving concise information than an open-discussion forum... wish people would use it.

Hi guys, is it possible to have access to google-analytics results? Since we need to know for what the users are looking for - the most common search, how they act in site (in wiki! and so on)

Then we can make THE wiki.
