Needed Documentation

What still needs to be done to the wiki since 0.21 has shipped

DisussPageRemoval - discussion forum to decide on deleting pages.

Still To Do:

  • I have just noticed that we have three (!) AllPlatformsRequirePerl pages: AllPlatformsRequirePerl, InstallationHowTos/AllPlatformsRequirePerl, and HowTos/AllPlatformsRequirePerl. I flagged the first one as deleted. The InstallationHowTos version seems to be the best. Now I'll have to find the backlinks to the other two.
  • HowTos/Backup default location in Windows is no longer POPFile root (but may be with upgrade installs) [This one is tricky. Location of config files depends on env vars. Restoration may require setting env var. Etc.] - [This will require mentioning Brian's backup-restore utility].
  • FrequentlyAskedQuestions/Duplicate requires modification re Data directory (it implies it is still always subordinate to Popfile program folder.) [This and HowTos/Backup are basicly the same thing. It probably is a good idea to have two pages on this since people wanting to copy settings to a new computer aren't going to think to look at Backup, but the Duplicate page should just point to the Backup Page, explaining that the process is the same as backing up and restoring. Currently it is not very useful.]
  • TroubleShooting remove link to TroubleShooting/CorruptCorpus when that page is eventually deleted [upgrader needed this yesterday, we may be stuck with for a couple versions but it can be made less visible]
  • FrequentlyAskedQuestions/Startup mentions options for the installer starting PF. I think its way out of date but haven't actually checked.

Translations:

  • Note any outstanding translations here.

FAQs we should answer in the Wiki:

  • removed words from the corpus – jac: I am not really sure we want to put this in the wiki? Any opinions? mh: I don't think that we should answer that particular question. OTOH, it would be awfully nice to have a pointer (or a copy) of Scott's excellent post.

Unsure:

Done:

  • HowTos/CrossPlatformInstall same as above: replace bdb with sqlite and dbi
  • DirectoryStructure changes (ie. no corpus dir and some of the extra module directories for miniperl on Windows)
  • HowTos/Backup mention popfile.db and forget about corpus dir.
  • FrequentlyAskedQuestions/POPFileLog now has updated description of logfile location
  • Is TroubleShooting/HistCache relevant anymore? I haven't seen this problem discussed in any of the forum for a long time. – I don't even think we use history_cache anymore since the important message stuff is in the DB, the date on my cache is May so it doesn't appear to be used. – You're right. Moreover, I just took a look at TroubleShooting. The relevant item is simply listed as “History Cache”. Who would have looked at that anyway? I deleted it from TroubleShooting.
