* Managing the [[HOWTO-Translate ScummVM GUI|ScummVM translations]].
* Various other wiki updates.


Currently working on the manual

* Wiki Maintenance
Summary on how to:
** Look at extensions to export to PDF.  They should not require [http://www.htmldoc.org Htmldoc], which means [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Pdf_Export Pdf Export] and [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Pdf_Book Pdf Book] do not fill the bill.  Possible extensions are:
# Get and install ScummVM
*** [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Pdf_Export_Dompdf Pdf Export Dompdf] which is based on [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Pdf_Export Pdf Export] but uses [http://www.digitaljunkies.ca/dompdf dompdf] instead of [http://www.htmldoc.org Htmldoc].
# Install game for use with ScummVM
*** [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Wiki2LaTeX Wiki2LaTeX] which uses its own parser. It is CPU intensive and might not render the pages in the same way than the WikiMedia parser.
# Add Game in ScummVM
*** [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PDF_Writer PDF Writer] and [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection Collection]. The PDF Writer can run standalone on a server and provide PDF generation for multiple MediaWiki instances. A server for public testing and low traffic Wikis runs at [http://tools.pediapress.com]. It require Python and PHP to be installed with [http://php.net/curl cURL].
# Run Game in ScummVM
*** [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiPDF WikiPDF] can generate PDF/LaTeX document from a group of pages. It requires Python.
# Where to find more documentation. Where to find help (forum, IRC). How to report bugs
*** Look at alternative intermediate formats from which we can generate pdf (e.g. DocBook XML which can be generated by the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:XML_Bridge XML Bridge] extension).
This should be short and well illustrated, with links to the rest of the manual for details.
* User Manual
=== Get and install ScummVM (on one page) ===
** Keep in touch with other contributors
With detailed instructions for all platforms
** Update [[Instructions to Wiki Editors]]
===  Install game for use with ScummVM (on one page) ===
** Review current manual and look for omissions (partially done)
With instructions for the games that differ from the simple case described in the Quick Start (e.g. multi-CD games, mac games on non mac computers, files that need to be renamed).
** Complete the User Manual (see [[User Manual/TODO]])
=== Add and Run game in ScummVM (on one page) ===
** Reflection on integration of the manual with the rest of the wiki.
Detailed descriptions of GUI features (e.g. search box, mass add), options, GMM, Save/Load, hotkeys, controls for portable devices...
*** What content on Game and Platform pages?
=== Getting help (on one page) ===
**** Compatibility (version of the games that are supported by ScummVM)
Describe what to do in case of errors / crashes
**** Compatibility (games working/not working on that platform)
=== Appendix ===
**** Hotkeys for the game
Contains technical informations that should not be needed by most users
**** Control on the platform
# Command line options (on one page)
**** Installation instructions on the platform
# Config file description (on one page)
*** Do we duplicate some infos?
# Tools (on one page)
*** Or should we link to the manual for some of these?
== Manual TO DO ==
*** Create additional categories to [[Special:Categories]] e.g. Linux, Windows, MacOS ... so users could find special pages concerning their OS very quickly.
# Review current manual and look for omissions (partially done)
* Translations management
# Contact other contributors
** Check [http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/Pootle Pootle]
# Reorganise existing content
** Check [https://weblate.org/ Weblate]
# Complete the Manual (there are a number of scattered TO DO to fix)
* Wiki formatting
# Reflection on integration of the manual with the rest of the wiki.
** Try to see if we can templatise the tables in [[User:Criezy/Engines]]
## What content on Game and Platform pages?
* Developments:
### Compatibility (version of the games that are supported by ScummVM)
** Finish the [[Supernova|Supernova Engine]]
### Compatibility (games working/not working on that platform)
** Proof of concept for text to speech in ScummVM: [https://github.com/criezy/scummvm/compare/TTS code on GitHub] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nX22ZCsLls video on youtube with Mortevielle engine].
### Hotkeys for the game
