I've been making video guides as a new hobby, and I still have some in the works. There seems to be a limit of places people are active that need to see them. Just a thought don't lock it like our old guide section lol... or could you allow me to get a noober account to post there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when we can set tags up for each thread (makes searching easier). I'm up for this suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they could hire someone to monitor the guides (if there was a Guides forum)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people like my self with learning disabilities that love videos xD I still think Tutorials 1.3.1 for IP.Board 3.2 would work best for Guides but I know they are not going to do it because we use Wiki. Maybe they could hire someone to monitor the guides (if there was a Guides forum)? To bad there isn't something on eA scripting haha, still looking for a thick book (: I could volunteer to be that patsy, I have a good sense of judgment.

Maybe get some Wiki contributors who are willing to write out more guides compared to the original (some details are still missing) so that we get less threads about people needing help (get the very commonly asked questions about editing certain things posted?) =D. Maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've planed to do something like that, but its better with an doxygen generated document or something like this. Without an source documentation its to time intensively to write all things by my self. Give this project 1 or 2 months and i've cleaned up most of the comments in the source so we are able to run an doxygen over it. After this has been done, I will write an stacktrace for every process. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DX Yea TecnoCronus started it @ 2009 if I'm right. I think this is what you mean, isent it? But as you may see, this is not that much and it's many work to write this. Now assume how long it would take to write a full documentation.. this is the reason why i said, we need a nice in-code documentation to generate something like this per default.

Nope, its hosted on wikia.com: see here. Wikia looks somewhat nice, but IMO its just an overpowered MediaWiki with some plugins. Nothing we couldnt do or have within our installation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
