Do you think it would be useful to use Bugzilla to track Talk threads which should be wikified, as a kind of TODO list?
Cheers,
Dave.

I agree with the OP's original point that the wikii doesn't have enough information...for instance, where is a page with every DBUS command? There is one titled 'phone control' which has some but clearly not all (e.g. the one buried here in some thread that shows how to sync mail for exchange). The DBUS commands are very helpful building cron events which I run in alarmed.
BTW, I don't think you can set up a page with 'every' DBUS command. DBUS commands are simply calling application functions, and you can't catch up with all applications built for any platform. Also, some commands wouldn't be useful at all to the common joe user.

That's why I would suggest to mark threads which should be wikified directly in talk.maemo.org - in this case there also has to be a possibility to get a list containing al of those threads.
If that's not possible I would prefer a list of threads which should be wikified directly in the wiki. It could look a little bit like the task lists from the sprint process pages. Maybe also a template "please help to improve this wiki article by extracting useful information out of these t.m.o therads: <link to thread>" would be useful if there is already a wiki page which should be improved (like the CIFS example in this thread).
What do you think?

But thw main point is the bad search and site integration! Please go to maemo.org and search for "cifs". Nothing!
The wiki also should be a main category on the page like "talk" and "news".

I would like to talk about default CSS of wiki. With whom I can talk?
I have some problems with current formatting. Here is some:
- No padding in lists
- No Horizontal line or section numbering in big headers
- Also [ edit ] section link could only to big headers, now it distracts.
We should have some kind of organisation tree for Wiki. How we are going to categorize stuff. Now it looks like this whole maemo.org. Living organism that just goes where ever it want's..woohoo hippies
. I would like to ask how developers think that wiki manages to serve when pages triple/double with current method. Also download section will be nice after when we have ~tens of thousands of programs (no proper filtering =list by downloads, rating, tags, comments etc., also power search, powered by google, finds stuff that section search would never ever find.)

- no different colour for active discussions about wiki pages
For this item I opened a bug but there was no real progress until today. Anyway I think your requests are also should be filled as separate bugs.

). But at the moment there seems to be no special communication infrastructure for this group. I would suggest to make a mailing list which everybody cab join who is willing to discuss the structure of the wiki. This could be handled by an new maemowiki-project in garage.maemo.org because it provides the possibility to create mailing lists.We also use something similar for the testing squad.

Bugzilla provides a nice way to do TODO lists, and add comments, and other good stuff.

What do you think?
The best way to do this is that the person who finds information useful can get it into the wiki somehow, without creating too much work for the gang of wiki gardeners who are trying to keep things in decent shape. We need to make "extract useful information from forum to wiki" a nice bite-sizeed task that someone can do & then move on.
My feeling is that this wiki page & list of threads would get quite long, quite quickly, and would eventually just stop being maintained.
Cheers,
Dave.
