Title: Suggestion: QB64 Wiki on GitHub
Post by: davidshq on June 27, 2020, 02:30:39 pm
I know, I drop in for a little while and then drop out again, and I'm not going to try and pretend that won't happen again...but I still have a suggestion...

Could you guys make a repo on github with the contents of the wiki, perhaps in markdown format that we could then all collaborate on? I'm always thinking, "hey, I should add this to the wiki" but I don't have edit rights and if you added it to githhub you could maintain editorial control while also allowing others to easily contribute. Thoughts?

We have been offering people wiki rights for a while now, there’s a pinned thread with the instructions. That’s easier than the conversion job.

Check your email.

Awesome! Thanks Felippe!

Followup question. If I were to do the work to get QB64's wiki into markdown format (mediawiki does use markdown), would there be interest in using github/markdown or is the preference for the current mediawiki?

I'm just thinking that having QB64's KB on github would probably expand the audience and allow for small contributions.
