Suggestion
Posted: Fri Apr 21, 2006 9:17 pm
Hi all,
As I return again to the documentation section of the site (docs.cmsmadesimple.org), I keep noticing blank pages, for example-
http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php?page=125
And I'd like them not to be! For many reasons, not least of which is that CMS is awesome, and I'd like for both colleagues and clients to have an easy time finding the information they need. I have a background in technical writing and would love to contribute, but I don't know where to begin with this site.
So, here's my suggestion... wikify the docs area! Let contributors sign up for editing access, then turn them loose. Edit afterwards. Easy!
Let me know if there's any way I can assist in facilitating this. Ideas: Use the wiki from Trac? Use another wiki? Also, I've been working on a section permission feature for CMS, which would allow docs to stay in CMS while facilitating the handing out of mod permisisons to contributors on a per-section basis. It's something I could wrap up in a few days.
Let me know! Thanks...
