Wiki blitz! | Suggestions and Questions | Forum

I am hoping to spend some time today working frantically on the Wiki, trying to get things better organised and more up to date for SpaceUp.  I am going to use this thread to document everything as I do it so people can keep track of changes and offer feedback.  Anything I do here is up for discussion if people don't like it.  Normally I would try to avoid doing lots of work unilaterally, but time before SpaceUp is relatively short, and so is my spare time at the moment, so I'm just gonna go nuts and leave a "paper trail" here to facilitate tidying up afterward if there are disagreements.  Hopefully most of it should be uncontroversial, though.

Quick stub page written for the CSTART Engineering Process, since this is linked to by the main project pages now.

Reworked CLLARE Propulsion Workgroup pages to be in line with current ideas.  This stuff was very out of date.  There are now no obvious links to the modular booster stuff, references to the Orbital Bus have been replaced with those to the PM, references to the Service Module (!) have been removed, etc.

I've added little "Outdated information" notice boxes to the top of all pages regarding the Selene booster family, so that if anybody stumbles across them (even though the links have mostly been removed), it is clear that they are old ideas.  You can see an example at this page.

There is a Best Practices page on the Wiki created by Gerbal (who was active shortly after we formed but hasn't been around in months).  The material on there isn't bad per se, but it seems like it doesn't warrant an entire page.  The link to it also takes up valuable Wiki Main Page real estate.  Does anybody have any ideas on what to do with it?

Note that currently all the images in the image gallery are right aligned – I do not know why, I removed the word "right" from all the setting strings, but it didn't seem to make a difference.  I will fix this myself later if nobody else does it first, but people should feel free to do it if they know how.

I fixed this.  Apparently using the "thumb" keyword to automatically shrink the images also implies right alignment, so you need to explicitly tell it "left".

I have simply removed the link to this for now.

There are now links on the project parts of the main page to the project Core Documents.

Pages which are linked to but which currently have no content on them, which I encourage anybody else to work on:

• CLLARE image gallery
• CLLARE FAQ

I'm going to take a break for now.
