RE: Resource list: wiki started

[Fairchild]

I have no special preference as to where the resource list lives, just that
it be linked from the lilypond pages and be a single source convenient and
visible to Lilyponders.

Generally what John has done at wiki looks good.  New to me, so I don't know
what is possible.

So far the content is mostly what I initially provided.  Others, please
contribute!  Developers first, then post a call on the user list?

Thanks to John for making something happen.

Subject: Resource list: wiki started


Hi,
I've just started a wiki at http://wikihost.org/wikis/lilypond/
It now contains only a small start page and the famous "resource list". I
hope it corresponds to Bruce's initial wishes, doesn't it? (yes, I haven't
put the images, I may do it later...)

I believe this wiki has bigger chances to survive than the former ones,
because there are now much more LilyPond users than in then past (say, when
LilyPond 2.2 was out), aren't they? Moreover, I am ready to widely extend
it, for example creating "LilyPond traffic" pages, which summarize the most
interesting topics in the mailing lists.

Of course, every LilyPond user can edit these pages (if I've properly set
the settings...), unless I decide to lock them.

Here's what may/should be done now:
- update the links to the older wiki (which is broken), such as
http://lilypond.org/wiki
- create a link to the wiki in lilypond.org.
- annouce the wiki creation in lilypond.org news and/or on the user mailing
list.

Please tell me your reactions.
