[alsa-devel] ALSA Wiki
Hello all,
new Wiki running well known MediaWiki (wikipedia) which will replace ALSA WWW contents is prepared at URL http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/main/ . I would like ask possible volunteers to start moving the current contents of ALSA WWW server to this Wiki. Also, if you like to be a WikiSysop to change at least some Wiki layout - you have a chance now. Also, we need sysops to rollback wrong changes. The edit policy is simple. You have to be logged in and you MUST acknowledge your e-mail address. I'm sorry, but we cannot take contents from anonymous users.
Thanks, Jaroslav

Great that now we can go to this direction.
The biggest (and most important) challenge would be the transition of sound-card matrix to wiki pages. So far, it was managed by a db and displayed as a big table. On Wiki, should it be simply separate pages containing each sound card? Or a better way to represent?

Also, a collaboration / integration with other sites like alsa.opensrc.org is worth to consider.
Anyway, we need brush up and clean up of items (e.g. remove dead CVS repo) together with the new design.

1 page per soundcard may lead to a lot fo duplicate information.
I'd suggest a structure similar to the current database: - 1 page per sound card manufacturer with a list of card which contain a link the the module's page - 1 page per module which may feature quirks for specific chip or soundcard.
