first impressions - help? manual? IE7 bug overwrites

[diceg...@hotmail.com]

i saw woas mentioned in linux format magazine,
i think i'll be using it a lo twhen ive sussed it out,

one small bug, here in internet explorer 7 winxp
near the bottom on the right it says:

[nt BETA version of Wiki On a Stick; it is not suggested ]

theres a menu box:

[Main Page
History
Syntax
Deprecated
Features
Feature::
Custom javascript
External javascript
Embedded image
Embedded file
Testcase::
WoaS testcases
Creole 0.1
Options
Special::
New page
Backlinks
Search
Advanced
Options

]

which overwrites whatever should be left of

[[nt BETA version of Wiki On a Stick; it is not suggested ]

i will be moving over to ubuntu,
but theres a lot to learn...

oh and i cant find a help link,
i looked for a manual,
but only found a list of the latest improvements,
what i need is an iintroduction docuemnt,
and an easy way to find it...,

i now have broadband,
so may join in with this project

thanks - it seems great,
better than the alphabetically sorted lists ive been using since
dos3.2 days!

Mmmh...I'll give it a check.

That's something that will be added to the default WoaS; it is currently
missing as the few pages in the default WoaS already explain a lot

There is none, if you wish to write it - please do! I will be glad to
review and integrate it in the official WoaS

[diceg...@hotmail.com]

i am trying to write a tutorial for stickwiki,
and help pages,
but where can i get help?

are there any example stickwikis i can look at?

nobody has replied to my last 2 emails
asking or help on links and images,
is this egroup just for hackers
and javascript programmers?

i thought the idea of stickwiki is to be simple,
whereas at the moment the main page seems to have
release notes of updates
but not clues of how to use it,
its assumed the readers have used earlier versions
and are wiki experts...

Just ask and see if somebody answers; we also have forums at
http://woas.iragan.com

> are there any example stickwikis i can look at?

The default WoaS covers all features. WoaS can be used in very different
situations, so I don't think we should have a WoaS example for each
case...however, to answer your question, there aren't as far as I know.

You should be less arrogant when asking for help on a free open source
project; furthermore, people comes from all over the world - and if they
don't know the answer or don't have time to answer, they will not, and
that's correct in my opinion.

I accept your critics about documentation, however I am not sure you
have the necessary will to write a manual for it since you don't seem
interested in playing with it in order to understand how it works
yourself...

Ask specific questions and you will surely be answered

Just to put a word in on documentation, I am in the process of of
rewriting what is already in the wiki, and perhaps putting
instructions in layman's terms. However I have been bogged down with
work.

great to know the documentations being worked on,
yes i am playing with the stick wikis and theyre fantastic,
but not ready for beginners yet...

i am approaching it in innocence,
one reason i havnt looked at the javascript
is that i want to approach the documentation as a user
without being prejudiced by knowing how it works...

another is that its obviously very difficult!

sorry if i sounded arrogant,
i see a great tool without much user help.

and i realise that some of you have English as a second language,
me, I only speak English,
so perhaps i can help with rewording,
but im not good at saying 9 good things then the one bad thing,
i take the 9 good things for granted and only mention the one bad thing.

I'm a crap politician.

keep it simple,
i know from my life its easy to write complicated interfaces with lots of
features,
diffficult to simplif and explain...

in line with the ONE HTML FILE philosophy
I am combining my help file and tutorial file
into one, presently called
stickwikihelp.htm
which i will share with you
when it begins to take shape...

thanks

Hi siredmond,

any progress with your documentation?
A wiki is in-place, are you going to use it perhaps?

Hi Guys,

Just to emphasise, please make any efforts towards the documentation
on the "documentaion wiki" here: http://woas.iragan.com/cgi-bin/wiki

I've got some time, so I'm hoping to start contributing, but please,
lets have one place where we can collaboratively edit and have access
to to.

(Gladstone)

I don't know why but I can't figure out formatting.  I guess I should just play with it rather than worry.  What's going to happen?  I'LL MAKE A MISTAKE!! Augh!  to quote Charley Brown.

legolas558, would it be possible if we could use a more "friendlier"
wiki architecture than Oddmuse? Mediawiki? Also, did you notice my
suggestion on the forums regarding converging the Google Groups and
the Forums into one place?
