Hi Maren, Yes, I understand that the intent for the wiki is more for developers. I didn't mean there should be a more prominent link for users to get to the wiki. I meant for developers, but others could use it too. I don't know. Maybe developers just don't need to go from website to wiki. Maybe it's just me. But fwiw, what I'm looking for most often is the Release Notes, Roadmap, and I often search the wiki while trying to answer support questions from forums. And for the latter, this is especially more for the new-in-0.91-features, because the manual hasn't been updated, and a lot of the new features are explained in the wiki. Once the manual is updated, I won't be in the wiki as much. (There IS a lot of user-focused stuff in the wiki! I started to work on some of it, thinking maybe it could be updated and moved to the website, like I did with the faq. But almost all of it is over my head. I did make a list of the ones that are referenced in the faq, hoping to at least get that much transferred over. But afaik, no one has updated them or moved to the website.)
Thanks, brynn

Hi Friends, This might be just me, but I find myself needing to browse from the website to the wiki fairly often. Of course I have a Favorite/Bookmark for it. But I wonder if a link to the wiki should be easier to find on the website?
Hi Brynn,
depends a bit on what the Wiki is intended for. Is it for learning?
I understood it more to be a site where the devs exchange their ideas. Most of the info there is outdated, and not regularly refreshed, or only important to developers - beside the Release notes, which live there, because we didn't carry them over to the website after they were finished (and which the devs may find easier to edit in the Wiki than on the web site - at least it allows to insert SVG as images...).
What are your use cases? Which of the info in the Wiki should be accessible more easily?
Regards, Maren
Usually I open the Learn page, and use the link near the bottom
of the page. Anyway, just a thought I wanted to share. And I wonder what others might think about it. Maybe that Learn page link is enough?
All best, brynn
