Version 5 wiki

[mvallevand]

Hi I am looking for some volunteers to help inaugurate a wiki for V5.  I think it will be a great time saver for new users and those of us on the forum that want to help new and old users alike.  I'd rather post a link then retype something and I am sure some users would like to RTFM which we don't have.



The new proposed wiki will use the markdown language a really simple way of formatting text I find easier then forum post formatting. Here is an intro https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/  hyperlinks.

I suggest that users use a free text editor like VS Code with a markdown plugin on any platform, or Notepad++ and the Markdown Viewer plugin.

It's going to pretty free form for a while as the section and sub sections get worked on but I think it will settle down into a usable style soon enough.

We can worry about how to submit the .md (that is the typical markdown extension) later.

Thanks

I haven't used markdown, but I'm sure that I can pick it up easily enough. So I'm happy to try to help out with some of this.

Thanks Brett perhaps you could start by trying some things on any unique CableCard installation instructions with screen captures which isn't possible here in Canada and maybe UI Client. I think can answer any Markdown questions you might have and I've only used it for about an hour.

That's the thread I saw. Seems the document framework should be layed out first, to ensure consistent format, then content added within.

Volunteers don't have to just do the design they can help come up with a framework for presentation, sub offered some basic ideas https://github.com/emveepee/WikiBeta/wiki and I played around with the v4 wiki in the new github format here https://github.com/emveepee/Testing/wiki/Main.HomePage to see what we can do.

The markdown language makes the actual presentation part as easy a word processing a document.
