The FVWMforums to wiki project

[dante65]

Just opened this thread to start a discussion how to import valuable threads from fvwmforums to the fvwmwiki.

I am still a noob at fvwm and have never edited a wiki before so I should need a lot of help from you all that want to contribute to get this project going.

Where I at post 12 and down stole part of the thread from viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2656&p=13134#p13134
from you all that want to thank Thomas Adam for that he get the froums back online again. (sorry for that Thomas).

I quote part of the thread here

Is it possible to import threads in that way to the wiki.?

For Example - for a search on the wiki for restartfunction you should find the subjectline and a few keywords of this thread
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=2035

If you choose to unfold it, then post one (the question) and post three (the best ansvar) should be seen.
And to show the whole thread - a link to it’s place on the forum.

Yes, it’s possible. You’d still have to trawl through the threads to do what you want, but ikiwiki has a few plugins I should think which would make the linking easier to do.

Ok, thats a project to do.

Nothing tells that all threads need to be added - probably a lot should not, but if we all could help to import our owns and/or our favorites then we will be one step in the right direction.

Maybe I should open a new thread about this.?

As I don’t think that I can manage to get it done by myself- but I really would love to see it done, so I am asking you all at the forum.

Does anyone want to contribute.?

Note that I have no time or interest to help with this.

If you’re really serious about this, why not put an announcement out on the fvwm@ mailing list?

Great Idea, but last time I tried post to the list my message was bounced back.

I will try post again in the near future.

What was the reason for the bounce?

I found it.
I think the error waas on my side.

Gmail seems to default to html-formatted mails, and I have changed that setting for that account from now.So I will in a near future post tot the list about the FVWMforums to WIKI.
