Hi Brian,

I wanted to make a suggestion to the x2go Community.
Everyone knows how fast and how much x2go has been changing in
regards to features, capabilities, etc.Like most projects Documentation is hard to keep up with but to
keep growing the x2go Community as fast in the future as it has in
the past year or so I'd like to suggest the date for a week of
focused x2go Wiki updating/cleanup.For success - it would take the commitment of both the x2go
Community & the Core-Devs and some planning. By that I mean try
to come up with ways to impact the core-dev team the least but
maximize their knowledge of x2go config, install, operation &
troubleshooting so the Community people can do the actual editing
of the Wiki.Ideas:
- identify & input any missing information
- all the FIX ME place-holders should be addressed
- incorrect or out of date information should be updated or removed
- add any new information that just hasn't found time to be posted yet
I think this is a good idea and I would be willing to help out, but
for people like me to able to help out I guess I would need a list
of subjects in advance, that way I could research my allocated
subjects first. I'm fairly new to X2Go; my experience is with FreeNX
so I need to learn X2Go better before writing anything :-)
I am willing to proof-read and answer question wherever asked. I would
love watching you write the wiki!!! Note, my focus is Git and code
maintenance. I would love if someone else takes over the draft writing
for documentation.
I'll see if I can find some time to identify some subjects that
either needs updating or new documentation, but where should I place
this list? Could you start a wiki page Brian, where we could
collaborate on the subjects?
Please use the FIXME tags of the wiki. There is a page already that
refers to all the FIXME tags being placed on wiki pages:
http://wiki.x2go.org/fixme-entries
Orphaned pages are here: http://wiki.x2go.org/link-orphans
The site map is here. http://wiki.x2go.org/wiki:start?do=index
When creating new pages, make sure to use namespaces and to feel into
the already provided structure.
Regards, Terje
Brian and Terje, could you become the leaders of this documentation
sprint and organize everything. That would be awesome. I'll contribute
whatever possible and needed.
Thanks, Mike
PS: I am also cross-posting this to x2go-dev...

I can help cleaning up the wiki. I would also suggest changing template (i e layout) in DokuWiki, the one used at wiki.x2go.org has issues with readability and general looks. That is of course my personal opinion, but I have used and administered DokuWiki for years and know that it could look a lot better with a different template.
Cheers, Daniel
Hello Daniel,
I really appreciate your offer. Help on the wiki is really needed. Please contact me (and Mike) directly so we could discuss what is already done and what needs to be done! There ware some ideas behind the structure etc... that are no longer visible...
Regards,
Heinz

I would suggest a meeting on Jabber-Chat:
x2go-talks@conference.jabber.ccc.de
Please try to connect to the room. If it fails, send me your Jabber ID
directly and I will invite you.
My sugesstion is that we gather in this chat room and then find an
appointment that works for all when we coordinate the wiki sprint.

Hello Mike,
hello wiki users!
I've created 2 new sites for our wiki sprint:
http://wiki.x2go.org/doc:wiki:discussion http://wiki.x2go.org/doc:wiki:discussion:template
Mike has already made some comments inside the discussion document. Please feel free to add your coments too. We should definitely discuss our changes and the way of doing before starting our work.
Again: any help is welcome!
If anybody wants to present some ideas or changes, he can do this by using our cloned wiki instance available at (don't offer major changes on the productive wiki!!!):
http://wiki-playground.x2go.org/
Please respect some facts about this site/wiki mixture. The top level sites are meant to be static (besides the blog). Only the wiki namespace should be a fast changing and adopting space.
The top level sites will be localized - I don't think that this is a good idea for the wiki. As it is really changing fast, we should concentrate to keep it update!
As a lot of people had requested a very reduced layout for the wiki pages, maybe it is a good idea to reduce the wiki layout to a certain minimum. But to preserve the advantage of the full site search there should not be any different platform/wiki/server (for this main wiki).
In my eyes it makes sense to talk about the communication channel. I would reduce the choices to:
keep everything regarding the wiki on x2go-dev
start a new documentation mailing list
As this effects even people who are not planning to work on the wiki (as there is more traffic on this list), please let me know what you think about it.
Regards,
Heinz
