Lets rejoice!
Cant change the front page, the links are semantic, dont know if i have permission or how to do it. And it doesnt need change, it needs re-doing. The faq was was an embarrassment, the one you referred to answered nothing that could be done better. The main problem with the wiki is that, you cant
find anything on the current mainpage. So we resort to a FAQ first, in multiple revisions. And then implementing things over and over again
everywhere. This in turn over time makes the whole wiki into a mess with unmaintained outdated redundant bits all over the place.
The mainpage was no better in this respect, so in being the last page to change, we have to be ready with the replacement. And the replacement is not done unless things make sense. I dont much care for the current page, i want it to actually convey the info it does, not sew pillows under its arms because its broken to begin with.
We are fixing things and trying not to needlessly cause harm. Awaiting input on what we are doing, the mainpage is going away soon. If you have ideas or input, get involved. We need to work at pulling the rope at the same end.
The generic "tutorial" section was nixed (by me), as it had only 3 entries in the end. Instead they are moved to the corresponding categories.
As for why the main page is in need of change, there are too many reasons to list. See the wiki thread for explanations.
http://pandorawiki.org/NewMain_pageLollaTest is how far we have gotten with a replacement. Keep that in mind when you read the following.
1 What is the Pandora?
Look at the image. See the text, already better than technical terms such as UMPC. That is a term for a laptop less than 1KG btw.
2 What can it do? Look at description text.
3 What can't it do? Osbourne effect. Skype and wow, really?
4 Why not an X86 processor? Are we _trying_ to confuse people?
Is the Pandora part of Game Park (GP32) or GamePark Holdings (GP2X)
Who is making it? What are the odds people know who GPH are? See TEAM
7 How does the Pandora compare to the GP2X? If you already know who GPH or gp2x is, you already know
8 Was the Pandora made to compete with the PSP / DS / eeePC / etc? Why not focus on how its different? Whats with this appologist approach? See /software Exactly, there is a category for that.
Pandora v2 Why on earth is this on the pandora wiki, in a FAQ section? See osbourne effect.
10 Software Questions There is a category for that
10.1 Emulation Questions There is a category for that. This is just a nested illogical menu.
11 Hardware Questions Ok, there is a pattern here, you want something you click on it. Only difference you dont click FAQ first for some reason.
12 Troubleshooting FAQ/Troubleshooting and its a menu!
12.1 Warranty This info is wrong. See
http://pandorawiki.org/Hardware_defects
13 Logo Questions Why not click the logo for that?
