[http://wiki.benheck.com/wiki/index.php?page=Atari_2600 Atari 2600]Other quips:
1. We need image uploading!
2. We should "remaster" our old diagrams (in something besides MS Paint) so they're neater, cleaner, and in some cases easier to read. A style standard should be decided on.
3. Ben, the logo is nice, but unless you're planning on a whole skin that looks like your homepage, the big square is a little much. The text by itself with a drop shadow would fit in better, in my opinion.
4. If we do use another skin, can it please be relevant and optional? (Most "skins" for just about anything are either shoddily coded or plain ugly. There are exceptions, but most are not easy on the eyes.)
5. If you haven't signed up already, could you please sign up on the wiki with your forum username, so we know who's who?
6. We need templates. "This page needs content" templates (maybe an empty PCB?), rewrite templates (a messy board), etc...
Also, I think we should have the main page look a lot like the KOL Wiki's (colored-square wise, not skin-wise):
http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Main_Page
It's got a news announcement, some "So you want to..." links (we could do "... Learn which end of the iron to hold?" link for a soldering tutorial
), a decent top bar, though Wikipedia's would be more relevant.) I know it's copying, but I like to think of it as "using code snippets". My programming teacher always said "Don't write what's already been written" regarding libraries and code sources...
Hurray learning by imitation!
