ToME WikiOne wiki weakness is the lack of hierarchy or well-coordinated teamwork; it happens chaotically and often 2 people will work where 1 would be faster.
NeilStevens: That's not a wiki weakness. That's a weakness of ANY organization with no communication.
We should have a volunteers page, where people can volunteer to be guided by the ToME powers that be. If a few good people do that, more people will feel like helping and chaos will be resisted - even if we're not immune. (-;
Da Alchemist has retired from volonteering for ToME. Reason clarified over the phone with him: unable to reinstall ToME from CVS under FreeBSD. Unable to play latest version to offer bug fixes. No one helped him with that despite repeatedly asking. He's now on another game project. -Simon
MayLith: I never saw any relevant posts on the forum -- did I miss them?
Besides the create help errata link is currently empty.
MayLith: There's a different page now. I'd forgotten that that one existed.
And it's a bit late I'm having too much fun with the trading card game I'm writing. I might return in a few years just to steal some of your volunteers away. (-;
MayLith: Good luck!
One more way to help cut down on our workload: Please, everyone, watch your spelling...such as the name of this page and a few words on this page. There is a perfectly good spellchecker on the edit box. I know it's a pain, but especially when naming pages, it's important. 
Simon: While I'm just a lowly database programmer, I'd like to offer what Da Alchemist used to offer. Bug fixes. Can you assign me a bug or two to fix so I don't duplicate someone else's work?
I'm not interested in doing official documentation; as MayLith has mentionned I'm not very good at that.
MayLith: You could be, if you worked at it.
Simon: yeah, and the completely blind people can drive cars too. But not very well. They could be, if they worked at it.
MayLith: I said that seriously, not facetiously. (The smile was to mean encouragement.) Anyway, coding's great too.
I'm interested in some coding. Not adding my pet features, but mostly fixing the bugs.
NeilStevens: Lovely four words those are, "I want to code." If you'd like to code on the wiki, a nice little starter project would be to make it more obvious how to log in from the front page. Today we got a suggestion that the location of the form isn't obvious enough. See Wiki Development for instructions on getting the sources that we're running here. Note that MoinMoin is written in Python.
Simon: yeah, and annoyingly enough I don't know python yet. I'd prefer coding on the game for that reason.
NeilStevens: OK, I wasn't sure which you meant. To hack on the game, subscribe to the mailing list and get ahold of the CVS sources. See the file bug.txt (or is it bugs.txt, I always forget) for a list of known issues, see BugReports for another list of possible issues. If you want to add a new feature, just discuss it on-list.
