On this home page, section ‘Project Info’, there are still several page that are addressed to normal users (and redundent with the main website): About, Features, the FAQ (for questions not related to development)… I'd like to make things clearer but I'll need your help of course — :) — as I don't know much about the project and the way you see things.
This is a matter of cleaning up content. You can delete pages, as well as making sure the content is available on the website itself. Older pages ended up on the wiki because the old website was not editable and was frozen for a long time.
My first thoughts:
- Couldn't we remove ‘/wiki/index.php’ from the URL and get something
like ‘http://wiki.inkscape.org/Inkscape%E2%80%99 that would be clear enough, more logical/KISS, easier to type and shorter when copied?
I wouldn't know anything about that. That sounds like a php thing.
- Do we still want to support the wiki translation (for release notes
maybe)? Then could we use MediaWiki's new and official translation system (used on https://meta.wikimedia.org/ for example)?
No, development is in English. If a thing needs translation, then that's a very big sign that the content shouldn't be on the wiki but on the website somewhere. Although for some fields on the website, we're still working on translation support.
