PPL wrote Major changes are underway for SQLNotes: Documentation We've finally settled on a new name: InfoQube. Raise your IQ by putting everything in your cube, your InfoQube

What will the final version use for documentation--wikispaces, wetpaint, or something new?

Where should any additions to the documentation (wiki) be done right now?

PPL wrote We're using Wikispaces for now. All contributions (big thanks!) will be transfered to the new platform when the move is eventually done.   http://sqlnotes.wikispaces.com/

I'm re-starting the "ball rolling", having reached the "obsession" stage with this wonderful program

• We've all been talking and/or thinking about writing tutorials, tips, how-to's, etc in the wiki.
• I've put a few small steps in: Under "Community"  the "First start here!" and the "Timers", and started up a "Glossary". Please comment. I really like the idea of illustrating pictures.
• My emphasis will be: things I (mostly) understand; things nearly undocumented; "I didn't know that" discoveries;
• I've firefoxed "scrapbooked" this forum, and the donation coder thread, and using it as a reference for things to learn. It's extremely helpful!
• I'm staying out of the "Documentation" area, and only touching the "Community" area.
• The wiki software is pretty easy to learn quickly (honest!)
• However writing stuff does take a lot of time. However I think if we stick to the bite-size chunks, it's much easier. Perhaps one person can write the words, and another can fill in with screenshots.
• Is it a good idea to post something in forum when we change something "substantially" in the forum? And if so, where?

it's probably a good idea to mention the IQ version we used at the time of writing/screenblasting.

I’ve thought about how to really get a hold on SQLN/IQ for different purposes: help files, tutorials, marketing, etc. That’s how I have structured my SQLN/IQ data so far (it’s “work in progress”, but I think we should really try to work out some pigeonholes for all the info that we already have and are going to add. ):

 Categories (Topics).

1. Features.
   1. Hyperlinking.
   2. Searching
   3. Managing IQ

                                                               i.      Moving

                                                             ii.       copying grids @items

                                                            iii.      assigning fields& values

                                                           iv.      organizing data

4. Formatting.
5. Synchronizing

                                                               i.      Between machines

                                                             ii.      Between databases

2. Projects/examples
3. Definitions.
4. Meta-questions. (Setting up a database, how to best use the features, etc.)
5. Other.
   1. Donations
   2. Marketing
   3. Community
   4. Fun

In each Category I have following fields:

1.      Questions.

2.      Problems

3.      Bugs

4.      Instructions: steps, techniques.

5.      Descriptions (more general than “Instructions” for marketing/intro)

Thanks for posting this.  This will help keep everybody on track as we progress.

How about you post a page in the wiki with this information, as a work in progress?  Maybe call it a our roadmap for covering a lot of the documentation bases.

Also I've put up a test page in the wiki under community, "Revise toolbar icons and text", using a flash output from the program Wink. It's extremely easy to use, and free. Please comment. Personally I like being able to click through tutorials such as this, as fast as I can read, rather than have them timed, or having audio.
