So, (hopefully) most of you know that I've opened a wiki at my site (http://freddy1990.com/wiki/). This wiki contains information about pretty much any program I've ever made and/or will make. However, the actual reason of existence of the wiki is to create a new detailed online manual for SCAR. I think everyone will agree with me when I say that the SCAR manual is serious phail… So, the thing is, I made the wiki because I myself don't have the time to write a decent manual because I need the time to work on SCAR itself… And the wiki should be the answer to that. The thing is though, I need people to actually work on it, people with experience with SCAR, and well, couldn't think of anyone better than you guys… At the moment I need someone to develop a template for pages which offer details about functions in SCAR (function, params, return value, description, explanation, examples, …) and I need people to make pages for the functions in SCAR.

So if you want to help out, send me a PM on my forums and I'll add you to the wiki writer group so you can edit the wiki.

If anyone wants to help me on templates, I'd greatly appreciate it!

If you're interested, here's a good starting point:
http://freddy1990.com/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Ambox

Down at the bottom of the page, there's links to a couple templates, two of which we have, three of which we don't. You can just rip the templates off wikipedia, but make sure to also grab the template/doc page, aswell. Rename all instances of .svg in the source to .png. Also change {{documentation}} to {{template/doc}}.

Thanks!

PS:
Does anyone know how to get transclusion to work properly? I can't get the documentation template to work correctly (when you type {{Documentation}} on a page, it should transclude the page/doc template, not the actual documentation template. Anyone who wants to help add/fix templates: until {{Documentation}} is fixed, just use {{page/doc}}, works fine.)


Freddy:
SVG's don't work, not really sure why. Could you please delete http://freddy1990.com/wiki/index.php?title=Image:Template-info.svg
?

Also, these css files (mostly the first) are pretty important. Umm, I have no idea where to put them :p but I think they should add some prettyness to the templates.

We're still looking for more participants in the project, we've now got a basic template for the functions in the manual which will make it easier to model the pages…
