I am interested in this. Only for OpenGL related keywords.

I want access... hook me up :)

This could be good or very bad. The only way I see keeping from going bad. Would be allow peer-review of added content.
Not editorial peer-review. But user feedback peer-review.
Not open forum review, but by private comment. If the editor, sees value in the comment, action can be taken. If not a
rebuttal comment back as why the edited action should stand.
If multiple comments are received by the editor about a change. A further contemplation of the edit could take place.
Then no action by ADMIN would be needed.
If too many negative comments are given to an editor, editorial access should be revoked. I would want to keep the
wiki in high standards. The wiki is used by way to many learners to teach the wrong way of doing it.
There are many ways to say A=A+1, but not arrive there in a roundabout way. The wiki should reflect that.

Wikis are self-correcting by nature, the more users willing to take part, the better. Ground rules are laid out above. Please keep this thread for account requests for now. Shall I add you, sir?

No thank-you, I would prob muddy the waters. I have too many bad habits from my trash-80 days.
That's why I said there are many ways to get to A=A+1. The BASIC language is just that way.
Endpoint: I do want the WIKI to succeed.

Hey odin!
I've been active on the Discord server mostly, but I've run across a couple of small things to fix. I would love to improve the overall quality, especially missing links, mistakes, info that needs update, etc.!

I have not understood if we choose to have a wiki account can we post our listings as an example? so anyone can post a listing on the wiki ?
does the wiki mean this? --> http://www.qb64.org/wiki/Main_Page ?
-
That's the wiki link, yes.
The idea is not to post program samples or listings there. People who apply to have editing rights are supposed to help maintain the wiki regarding grammar, spelling and technical errors. And eventually improve upon the existing articles.

yes this would be a very good thing
also because all the programmers in this forum
they report the wik
help yourself with this site to programi as a source to help plan
i think every piece of code they try on wiki
they are documented in the wiki and each programmer is used to document himself because he cannot remember all the instructions
therefore it is a fundamental thing to keep it tidy and solve errors
maybe put programmers like @bplus @SMcNeill @TempodiBasic
I believe there are many experts here to help the site
ps. today I believe that the translator does not translate well
here too it takes an improvement from google translator

Hm, I don't see anything. I'd emptied my spam folder around the time of your post here, so it's possible the email found its way in there and got deleted.
-
@johannhowitzer check again.

Got it, thanks. I've fixed the keyboard code table - though the right side Windows key is just my guess since my keyboard doesn't have one.

I would like to have wiki edit rights so I can update http://www.qb64.org/wiki/Mathematical_Operations#Derived_Mathematical_Functions which includes a link to a now offline MS KB article with a replacement from web.archive.org.

I'd like to apply. I'd like to think I'm pretty good at writing example code, documenting software, and generally being helpful.
I've been programming BASIC since the 80s... BASIC 2, Quick BASIC, Visual BASIC, and now QB64, and I also work for a technology company you'd have heard of (I don't talk about it in public forums, but feel free to PM me to ask for details.)

Hello,
Please set me up.

Although, It would be highly unlikely that I would be contributing to the Wiki, may I make a suggestion? So as to avoid potential "muddying" or abuse of the Wiki, that a system of offline scrutiny be applied prior to the adding of content? Just a thought....

Insta-thought: Good? Bad? Maybe. (https://ielshareef.medium.com/good-bad-maybe-ee421c1a0981)
I tend to think the Wikipedia model must work, but maybe it doesn't?
I'm good with the following, and tend to think don't fix it if it ain't broken :
Wikis are self-correcting by nature, the more users willing to take part, the better. Ground rules are laid out above. Please keep this thread for account requests for now. Shall I add you, sir?
If not the approach above, then things flow like very thick molasses. It becomes a job that somebody becomes responsible for, and responsible to not be a bottleneck.
But sometimes it is a necessary evil. That is less evil than the other evil. Maybe.
