ChrisDen Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I am finding the wiki very difficult to navigate. I feel that it needs to be looked. I am giving it some thought and will post some ideas here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rragan Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I think there is a question of audience that affects organization. New geocaching users likely want a hand holding tutorial. Folks coming from other apps or outgrowing geocaching.com want to know how you do X in Cachly. Finally, there is the reference document that covers everything about the app you might want to lookup.

rragan Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 I was hoping the first not yet written section would handle the new user and getting them to find the first cache. That becomes a tutorial section. For example, nothing about Offline lists is germane to a brand new user. All settings would be defaulted so likely can skip over that. Logs can't be ignored but can be handled as part of the tutorial material. That frees the rest of the document to be more of a reference and tips document.

barefootguru Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 I suggest each How To be a seperate page: the combined one is going to get unwieldy, plus easier to link from e.g. main page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a landing page with a one liner for each How To linking to either a separate page each or a section in a single page. The landing page would be linked off the main page.

rragan Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I put together a simple "Table of Contents" for a modified possible structure for the document. It reflects the top few heading levels. Most of the pages currently stay the same but some material is moved around. Is this better, worse, ....

ChrisDen Posted March 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I like that but I think Nic must give us direction as it is important that the feel of the Wiki reflects what Nic wants to present to the users, current or new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rragan Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 OK. I will likely write the Getting Started with Cachly first and then do the reordering to the new TOC format. No need to stop editing or creating material in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can start populating the Structure Page with links we already have. That way you can copy it across to the main page in due course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rragan Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I don't think the order matters. I could do that. Timesharing with trying to resurrect the wife's dead Mac this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
