| === Reorganize the content as described above === | | === Reorganize the content as described above === |
| I would like to keep the history and discussion for the existing pages of the current documentation. Therefore some of the pages will be kept or renamed. We will need to create new pages.
| | Pages have now be renamed or created to complies with the new structure. However some content still needs to be moved from the renamed pages to the created pages. |
| | |
| Until I make all the modifications in the structure, work can go on on the existing pages and the new pages can be created.
| |
| | |
| List of pages after reorganization:
| |
| + Introduction
| |
|
| |
| + Quick Start
| |
|
| |
| ScummVM interface (or everything on one page?)
| |
| + Main Window
| |

| |
| Game Specific Instructions -> Installing a game for use with ScummVM
| |
| Configuration -> Setting up ScummVM
| |
| Appendix: Tools -> Appendix: Tools
| |
| | |
| And a list of pages that will need to be created:
| |
| Quick Start
| |
|
| |
| ScummVM interface (one or four pages?)
| |
| + Main Window
| |
| + Options
| |
| + Game settings
| |

| I ([[User:Criezy|Criezy]]) would like to reorganize the content of the manual on the weekend of August 1.
| |
| | |
| Here is how I plan to proceed:
| |
| # Add a notice on the manual entry page (reorganization of manual structure underway)
| |
| # Rename existing pages
| |
| # Create new pages (if not already done)
| |
| # Update manual entry page
| |
| # Fix all links to manual pages/sections.
| |
| # Move content around
| |
| # Remove notice from manual entry page
| |
