Future editors perhaps should read this page:

For this project, you can of course take the original doc and copy/paste it to have a base (and complete it). It looks interesting !

Lets move this forward.

I've created a free Basecamp project for handling this.

All those who want to be involved send me a PM with your email address and I'll invite you to the project.

At this point, lets just see who is interested. Once we have the project set up we can start to make decisions about the way forward.

Your donation of the documents is very welcome indeed!
It will give a starting point!

From a quick googling I can see Basecamp is not freeware. How does it works?

Blade,

Its online project management, nice a simple but very useful.

They offer a limited free service, good for one project with no files.

For this, thats all we need.

I'm french!
There are three official forums : english, deutsch and FRENCH !

Why not three wikis for the three communities ?
Personnally, we are a lot behind us for helping in your project !

Progi1984,

MediaWiki supports multilingual. Hopefully we can have 1 wiki in 3+ languages

But i see two wikis : one for english and one fo deutsch !

More can be added.

And it's why i asked a french wiki !

Its no good just asking for it. You need to get on board and help with the translating.

Send me your email address and I'll invite you to the project

Did I miss something, has the project already started? If yes, where?

Additionally I a sid before I finished the layout and freed some space.
Take a look at
http://www.purebasic.loncarek.de or http://purebasic.loncarek.de

I haven't written anything yet. What you see there are the default Files of PmWiki.

So if writing hasen't started yet, where should we do it:
On my page or at purearea.net

Klonk,

I've set up a BaseCamp for the project, where we are going to work from.

We intend to go with PureArea.net.

PM me your email address and I'll invite you to the project.

Maybe one could even modify the DocMaker program to output wiki source directly, that way the whole document for all libraries could be made in a few seconds and then uploaded to the wiki?
If someone was allowed to modify, or if someone in PB team modified the docmaker source accordingly you can generate the wiki for the libraries from the cvs tree, thus having all languages that already have a helpfile converted to wiki format in just a few minutes.

Should we create a documentation project based on a Wiki?
