EpikWiki to MediaWiki conversion
Goal
Replace the current epikwiki web site to mediawiki format. I hope the more open nature of mediawiki will help the growth of the lazarus documentation.
Phases
- Move all existing pages to media wiki format
- Check if all pages are converted correctly and all original contributors properly attributed.
- Add new pages and possible restructure current pages.
Future enhancements (wild ideas allowed)
- Systematic translations of pages (after all the wikipedia is multilingual too).
- Import / export of fpdoc pages, so that the wiki can be used as doceditor.
- Off Line Documentation?
Guidelines
to be written.
Generally look at already converted pages.
