=== Reorganize the content as described above ===
Most of the work to comply with the structure described above has already been done. However some content may still need to be moved from one page to another. We need to read all the pages and check that everything is at its intended place and that all the links are correct.
=== Add ScummVM and game installation instructions ===
=== Add ScummVM and game installation instructions ===
We need to add the instructions for the following platforms:
We need to add the instructions for the following platforms on the [[User Manual/Installing ScummVM|Installing ScummVM]] and [[User Manual/Installing a game for use with ScummVM|Installing a game for use with ScummVM]] pages:
* Atari
* BeOS
* Fedora Core / RedHat
* Fedora Core / RedHat
* GP2X
* GP2X / GP2XWiz
* Maemo
* Nintendo DS
* PS2
* PS2
* Symbian

* ask in the port forum if the information is not already there
* ask in the port forum if the information is not already there
* ask directly the port maintainer (I am not sure they all visit the forums).
* ask directly the port maintainer (I am not sure they all visit the forums).
This information is to be displayed on several pages (e.g. the User Manual, the platform pages). To avoid duplication, we can use two templates for each platform, one for ScummVM installation and one for game installation, that contain the relevant information.


=== Add controls for embedded devices ===
=== Add controls for embedded devices ===
We need to add controls for embedded devices (devices that do not use a mouse and keyboard). It is missing for the following platforms:
We need to add controls for embedded devices (devices that do not use a mouse and keyboard) on the [[User Manual/Adding and Running a game in ScummVM|Adding and Running a game in ScummVM]] page.
For the following platforms there is a link to the platform pages. This should be changed so that it is directly visible in the User Manual.
* Windows CE
It is completely missing for the following platforms:
* PS2
* PS2
* Symbian
* Symbian
* GameCube
* GameCube
* Wii
* Wii
* Maemo
* ... [TODO: complete list]


=== Add descriptions of GUI features ===
=== Requirements ===
The [[User Manual/ScummVM Interface|ScummVM Interface]] page is incomplete. The descriptions for the following GUI features need to be added or completed.
The requirements section on the [[User Manual/Installing ScummVM|Installing ScummVM]] page is incomplete.
* GMM
* Update list of supported platforms, platforms that are not maintained anymore and third party unsupported platforms. The PS2 for example is not in the correct category and the Android port is missing altogether.
* Launcher
* Add minimum memory, OS (or firmware) version, screen size... required to run ScummVM on each platform.
** Search field
 
** Game list
=== Compiling from source ===
** ''Load Game'' window (with a list of games that cannot be loaded this way).
The compiling from source section on the [[User Manual/Installing ScummVM|Installing ScummVM]] page needs to be written. Here are some ideas:
** buttons
* Point to the Compiling ScummVM page, resp. integrate that here.
* Scumm in-game menu
* List all required libs; where to get them; how to install them
* Options tabs
* List all optional libs etc.
** Graphics
* We could separate this by OS, or by compiler/dev system. I think the current split in the README (section 9.0) isn't too bad.
** Audio
 
** Volume
=== Uninstalling ScummVM ===
** MIDI
The page [[User Manual/Uninstalling ScummVM|Uninstalling ScummVM]] needs to be written (or removed). I suppose there will be different instructions depending on the platform (e.g. Windows, Linux, Mac, iPhone).
** Paths
** Mics
* Game settings tabs
** Game
** Graphics
** Audio
** Volume
** MIDI
** Paths


=== Appendix ===
=== Appendix ===
* Write config file description
* Write [[User Manual/Appendix: Config file description|config file description]]
* Check the list of tools, their description and their command line arguments are up to date
* Write the [[User Manual/Appendix: Music and sound#Using compressed audio files|Using compressed audio files]] subsection.
* Check the [[User Manual/Appendix: Tools|list of tools]], their description and their command line arguments are up to date.
