Hey guys - I wanted to suggest some basic organization on the wiki. The key thing is a short list of categories, and tagging pages appropriately. I know on Wikipedia, there are people that just ensure things are tagged appropriately. Maybe we could add that task or categorization to the Help Us page. If we do this, the whole wiki becomes a lot more organized with no additional effort.
I think we should have categories like this:
- Getting started (with links to various pages with some guidance on when/what to read)
- Groups (category)
- Projects (category)
- Class curriculum (category - a place for people to share their curriculum so we don’t all have to reinvent the wheel)
- Event planning (category)
- Major initiatives (category)
- Systems and infrastructure (category)
I think each page can be part of multiple categories, so an example page may Look like this:
= Dallas MakerFaire 2017 =
{{Category:Event_Planning}}
{{Category:Major_Initiatives}}
We’re going to do some awesome stuff, and are trying to organize some cool stuff like a crazy herd of cats!
== Projects ==
- [[MakerFaire_autonomous_goat]]
Or:
= MakerFaire autonomous goat =
{{Category:Projects}}
{{Category:Electronics_Group}}
We’re building something that eats grass - automagically!
