Revision as of 22:20, 13 March 2008

There's loads of information about plasma out there, scattered over the interwebs, and most people have no hope of finding what they need when they need it. we need people (that means you) to go through the piles of data, pull out useful information, and organize it somewhat so that it can begin to be useful.

even if you can only spend an hour on this, every bit is helpful. I've tried to break up the process into manageable chunks so that several people can work on it without duplicated effort.

Data Gathering

the general process:

go to the appropriate list [below] and reserve a chunk by putting your name beside it
copy useful-sounding data into your note-taking app.
sort it into categories.
remove obviously duplicate info
add it to the wiki via the categories page.
mark it as completed on the list

2008-02	mmauder	done until 02-19 (including bindings thread. the rest is available to whoever wants it for now, I'm sleeping)

other stuff?

plasma.kde.org perhaps?

there's some random stuff here and here

Data Review

once it's been rounded up, I expect it'll need a few rounds of cleanup.

remove duplicate information from posted data
move anything that falls into the wrong category
watch for copy&paste errors
further sorting?
minor edits?
